Thermal bath and spa opens in Bucharest

Austria’s A-Heat Group has opened a giant thermal bath-and-spa complex in Romania that it says is the largest in Europe.

The 50 million-euro ($55 million; Dh199.61 million) centre, which opened on Thursday just north of Bucharest, uses hot water pumped up from more than 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) underground and cooled to a constant 33 degrees Celsius (91.4 Fahrenheit) in its eight pools.
