Szechenyi Baths & Pool: Fun Place, Fine Palace
Szechenyi Baths (built in 1913) is the most visited and much praised attraction in Budapest: relaxing, fun, affordable and, in the evenings, romantic. In addition to the marvellous medicinal natural hot spring waters in the 18 pools, there are over 6 saunas / steam cabins, several massage therapies, facial treatments, and more. Before making a visit, please check if the FAQ has a reply to your questions.
Szechenyi Bath is in the biggest green park of Budapest, in the beautiful City Park, close to a bunch of Budapest attractions. The Neo-baroque palace was specifically built for hosting Szechenyi Baths as Hungary has been the country of baths (and Budapest the City of Baths) for many centuries.
The history of thermal bathing starts with the Roman settlers who built the first spa baths (Aquincum was the Roman’s settlement in today’s ‘old Buda’ district. Then, through the 16th century, Turkish occupiers built many of the famous and revived Turkish baths in Budapest. The 19-21st century even grew further in popularity, promoting natural medical trends where aqua therapies and their beneficial effects attracted hundreds of thousands to thermal spas all over Hungary. The beautiful building of Szechenyi Bath is the design of Gyozo Czigler (Győző Czigler) who started to build Szechenyi Furdo in 1909. As an exciting contrast, these days the bath welcomes thousands of young people to a dazzling laser disco with throbbing vibrations to enjoy an ultimate bath party almost every Saturday night.
Come and enjoy your time in Budapest in Szechenyi Bath, in a beautiful, richly decorated palace. The perfect place to chill out, to get to know locals, make business deals and fall in love. If you are interested in learning more about Budapest baths, explore some more on Baths Budapest.

need to cancel my booking for 13th march 2026
Dear Chetan,
Thank you for letting us know.
We have contacted you via email.
If I book a ticket online can I arrive at anytime that day?
Dear Lois,
With a full-day ticket, you have access for the entire day. You’re welcome to arrive at any time during our opening hours on the date of your booking.
Please note that the last entry is 2 hours before closing time.
Thank you. And what is the difference between a cabin and locker?
Dear Lois,
A locker is a standard storage unit (similar to those found in swimming pools or train stations) where you can safely leave your belongings. If you choose a locker ticket, you will change in the separate public changing rooms for men and women, and then place your items in the locker. The locker size is approximately 120 × 30 × 65 cm.
A cabin, on the other hand, is a private changing room combined with a storage space. You can change your clothes privately inside the cabin and also leave your belongings there during your visit. Cabins comfortably accommodate one person at a time, so couples or families typically take turns using them. As cabins provide additional privacy and space, tickets including cabin use are usually priced slightly higher than locker tickets.
In short:
• Locker – public changing room + personal locker for storage
• Cabin – private changing room + storage space
If privacy is important to you, we would recommend choosing the cabin option. Otherwise, lockers are perfectly suitable for regular spa visitors.
Why I cannot book on April 3 or 4, 2026? It shows a red dot on the calendar.
Dear Arcy,
Thank you for reaching out regarding your Easter visit to the Szechenyi Spa.

Enjoy your time in Budapest!
