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，
My friend and I are going to book spa and bath package. Can we book the couple package?:) hmmm…we are not a couple, but girl friends…can you please tell us which package should we choose?
hello
what is the price fir children ticket?
Hello Galit,
there are no children tickets in the spa any more, only full price adult tickets.
The thermal waters are only recommended for children aged 14+, as children’s cardiovascular system is less developed than adults’, but parents can bring their children to the spa for their own responsibility. Please note that children who have not been potty trained yet, cannot be taken into the pool, not even in a swimming nappy, but they can stay in the spa area outside the water.
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Spa Baths!
Hello, is it possible to buy tickets at the entrance of the spa and not online?
Hello Lena,
you can buy entry tickets on the spot as well, however, as there are usually queues, we recommend the online Fast Track tickets so you can skip the main queue.
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Spa Baths!
