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.

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.

Hi, if i book the full day ticket. does it allow me to go out of the bath house and come back on later hours? Like go out to walk around the city and return after getting tired?thanks
Hello Bamboo,
thank you for your email.
I am afraid, Szechenyi spa entry tickets are for only 1 entry, you cannot leave the spa and then re-enter.
We have tickets for late October, arriving on Viking River Cruises. What are the best options for getting to your location other than walking?
Hello Jay,
thank you for your email.
The address of Szechenyi Baths is:
9-11 Allatkerti korut Street, Budapest, District 14 (on maps, you will see District XIV), H-1146. (i.e. the post code is 1146).
As we do not know which dock your cruise ship will arrive to, we cannot give you any exact advice.
If you do not wish to arrive by taxi, it is very easy to get there, because one of the stops of the metro line M1 is named after the spa and is right in front (or back) of it.
It’s quite amusing to come by trolleybus, it is No. 72 and 75 that take you closest to the bath. Among the buses, the best choice is No.105, but you have to get off at Heros’ Square, which leaves you some space for walking.

Have a great time in Szechenyi spa.
Can you book for half a day instead of full day ? What are the prices of half a day ?
Hello Griet,
thank you for your email.
I am afraid, Szechenyi spa entries are for a whole day, there are no other options available.
A whole day ticket with a private cabin is EUR 20 (EUR 21 on weekends).

I hope I could be of help.

Hello,
I have just book two tickets for tomorrow, 24 June 2018.
Do you have free parking, in case we want to come by car?
Dear Sorin,
Unfortunately there is no free parking near Szechenyi Baths, most parking spaces are in the fee paying zone in Budapest city. Thank you for your understanding.
The daily fee can be affordable for some, but we would suggest using the public transport system if you can.
You will find the parking lot managed by the nearby Budapest Zoo.

That said, Budapest can be stressful for tourists visiting by car, and taking the public transport is less stressful (the yellow line/ Metro 1 takes you right to Szechenyi Baths, or you can take the 105 bus to Heroes’ Square by Budapest City Park, and take a short walk.
Have a great and relaxing time in the thermal baths in Budapest.
