Hello!
Will the outdoor baths be open from 19 to 22 december?
Can you send me please opening hours for that dates?
Thanks!
Dear Edgar,
The outdoor pools remain open throughout the winter months.
Currently, there are no maintenance activities planned for December.
However, given that the building is over 100 years old, unforeseen circumstances may change unexpectedly.
We recommend checking back closer to your planned visit date for the most current information.
