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.

Bonjour,
À quelle heure les bains fermeront demain, 24 décembre?
Merci
We would like to visit the baths with our children but are wondering if there is a place where we can take our six-month-old into the water. Can you tell me if this is possible?
Dear Amber,
Unfortunately infants are not allowed to use the pools in Szechenyi Baths (this means they can come to the spa, but have to stay outside the pool area), even if they wear waterproof swimming nappies. This usually applies to children under 3 years of age. Children under 14 can use the thermal bath, but only at their own responsibility, as it is not recommended for younger children. There are no children tickets in the spa any more, only full price adult tickets.https://szechenyibath.com/can-children-go-to-szechenyi-baths-szechenyi-bath-faq/
Dear Laure,
we have already re-sent you the Tickets this morning, if you still did not receive it, please check your spambox too.
Have a lovely time in the Baths!
Hi there,
I were in the Spa on friday the 30.12.2016. My shoes were stolen in the locker room. They are grey of the brand Lloyd. Did you find them?
Best regards
Benni
Dear Benjamin,
thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately we only manage online reservations as a third party. For lost property issues, please contact the following email address, the official direct email contact of the baths: szechenyi@spabudapest.hu
Alternatively, you can take a visit to the bath to inquire in person, which is probably the fastest and most efficient. If you have already tried to restore your lost item with the help of the staff of Szechenyi Baths – if I understand correctly – unfortunately there is no more that could be done.
We are terribly sorry that we cannot be of more help.
Hi I was wondering do all online ticket purchasers receive a locker?
Dear Karen,
you can choose from Baths Tickets with Cabin, and Baths Tickets with Locker. Unfortunately there are no plain Tickets without a locker or a cabin.

Please let us know if you need any help with your booking.
Can wheelchair users get in to the baths and do you have suitable changing rooms?
Dear Yvonne,
thank you for contacting us.
There are disabled-accessible changing rooms in Szechenyi Baths, restrooms, mobile pool-lifts by the indoor pools and an elevator operates between the floors.
