The thermal resources of Budapest are unique in the world. Within the city 120 natural springs rise, most of them with warm water. The water rising from natural and drilled springs is usually between 21 and 76 °C and yields 30,000 cubic metres a day.

The Romans already used the warm springs of the Buda hills. According to records there were 14 baths in the city in Roman times and 8 during the Turkish rule, and most of the baths dating from the Turks are still operating.
