Lonely Planet review

Since 1892, this is the spa for anyone who wants to get naked (or not) and romp in steam baths, an ice-cold pool, a sauna and on the sundeck. All-day access includes the use of lockers, robes, towels and slippers. Extras such as Dead Sea salt scrubs are available, and the blintzes and borscht at the Russian cafe will boost your blissed-out spirit even more.

Although swimsuits are required, the best times to visit are when the baths are open to both men and women as the vibe is more relaxed and communal.
