Baia Populara Spa Centre
Built in the early 1900s, the construction stylistically combines baroque shapes with late 19th - early 20th century Jugendstil elements and is the city’s most representative building for that architectural style. In terms of architectonic structure, Baia Populară Sibiu is an almost faithful copy of the Müller Bath in Munich, as it is the work of the same architect. We’re proud to say that, at that time, no other Austrian-Hungarian city of the size of Sibiu possessed such an institution.
Recently renovated, Baia Populară is a real masterpiece. The services are now much easier to access by people with special needs, as the building is equipped with an elevator connecting all floors, from the basement to the loft. The gym, too, provides facilities for people with special needs.
Built on several levels, Baia Populară hosts: swimming pool, dry sauna, steam sauna, salt room, two cold-water and one warm-water pools; areas for relaxation, rehabilitation, stress-relief, hot-stone therapies (massages), automatic jade-stone bed massage, water-bed hydromassage, a recreation and relaxation area.
The gym is also completely renovated and equipped with modem multifunctional machines, plus a software solution which generates computerized training routines, which can be used even by people with disabilities.
