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.

Hi,
In April I will be going to Budapest as my finalists trip. It is a trip organized by my school with a group of about 50 people. We would love to go to a sparty (party at night at the Szechenyi baths) but some of the members of the group will not be 18 yet (some of them will be 17 years of age). Is it still possible for our group to attend a sparty, knowing that 4 teachers (the responsibles for our group) will be going as Well?
Thank you Very much,
Leonor Morais
Dear Leonor,
the minimum party age is 18, and you will be asked to show your ID at the entrance.
We are really sorry, but attending the Sparty is only for over 18. Thank you for your understanding.

Is it possible to visit thermal spas with 10 year old girl who can easily swim 200 meters and use sauna several times a week at home here in Finland? She is almost as long as her mom.
Hello Marja,
children under 14 can use the thermal baths, 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.
Have a nice time in Budapest!
