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.

Hello,
I am confused with the fares of the massage. It is mentioned that a 3 service full day ticket ranges from 35-40 euro and it includes a cabin + massage therapy + bath ticket. But after that it is mentioned that a 20min massage costs 21 + 21 (bath ticket) while for 45min is 51. So what does the massage therapy in the 3-service full day ticket actually refer to. Furthermore, may I know the prices of the massage packages?
Hello Granda,
thank you for your email.
The entrance fee to the spa is included in the total price, as is the private changing cabinet, and the price of the massage itself.
The prices are decided by the management, and you can buy a whole package.
You can find the prices of the packages on the following link:

I hope I could be of help.
