Trenčianske Teplice has used its sulphur springs since the sixteenth century, and the building that made it known is the Hammam, a bath house of 1888 built in a Moorish idiom with horseshoe arches, tilework and a domed pool hall, commissioned by the Iphigenia spa's owners and still in use. The town around it is a valley of villas, a colonnade and a park, closed to through traffic and quiet.
What you actually see
- The Hammam - an 1888 Moorish-style bath house with a domed pool hall.
- The colonnade - the covered promenade through the spa park.
- The sulphur springs - the water the whole town was built on.
- The valley - wooded slopes closing round the spa quarter.
When to go
April to October is the pleasant season, though the spa works year round. The Hammam has limited public bathing hours. Summer brings a film festival to the town.
Honest expectations
The Hammam is a working bath with restricted public hours and often booked. Some spa buildings are run down. The town is small and quiet to the point of dull for some.
Nearby
Trencin is west, and Beckov is southwest.
