Can You Buy Alcohol at Szechenyi Baths?

One of the questions we get from tourists is if you can buy alcoholic beverages, most notably beer at Szechenyi Baths? In short the answer is yes, you can if you are over 18.

Szechenyi Baths – Drinking Alcohol

In the building of Szechenyi Spa Baths there is a simple cafeteria, which sells not only hot and cold meals and foods, but also soft drinks and beers / wines / cocktails. The range of alcoholic drinks may not include outstanding Belgian beers or exquisite French wines, so do not raise your expectations. The cafe typically sells the most popular international alcoholic beverages in cans and plastic cups (as you can see it in the photo of the bath).

Szechenyi Baths strives to provide an environment where no accidents with glasses and bottles can happen, so real glass products are not allowed to be sold on the premises (maybe the exception is champagne on New Year’s Eve and Day).

Let us quickly add that alcohol dehydrates, so please make sure that you drink plenty of water in hot weather. It is prohibited to behave unruly and drunken in Szechenyi Baths, but there is no problem with drinking beers or wines in a civilised relaxed manner.

Please note that getting drunk does not only affects your behaviour but may cause serious health problems (drunken people are not recommended to swim either in cold or in warm water – the effect of lots of alcohol is just like having heart problems or being generally in a weak physical condition and risking cardio problems by entering into water).

NOTE: Kindly note that guests are not allowed to bring in alcohol to the thermal baths in Budapest. Thank you for respecting the House Rules.

      Dear Dessie,
      you can leave your belongings in the locker or in the cabin, depending on your chosen ticket type.
      Drinks can be purchased at the cafeteria inside the Baths. I am afraid we cannot provide you a drink list. Thank you for your understanding.
