Public baths working since 1808, in a Beaux-Arts palace with Gothic, Rococo and classical halls; Muscovites come for the Russian parilka, the venik (birch or oak broom) and the long break in sheets with tea or beer between rounds. Visitors who know the Bolshoi a block away rarely realise they can simply buy a ticket and steam where Pushkin, Tolstoy and Chekhov did.
