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.

Hello,
I’m 26 weeks pregnant, do you recommend me to go to the baths or is there any restrictions?
Best regards.
Dear Raquel,
Unfortunately hot thermal water is not suitable for pregnant moms. During pregnancy please keep consulting with your doctor whenever you intend to visit public baths, shared pools. Pregnant women are kindly asked to consult with their doctor /OBGYN if they can bathe in the thermal waters in Budapest too, and what – if any – precautions they need to make before entering the pools. All visit to the baths and its facilities are at the responsibility of visitors, including pregnant mothers. We apologize for any potential inconvenience.
Hello,
I was on 16-02-2017 with my friends, and we’ve had a problem. I payed with my credit card at 11:17 am for rent three swimsuits, but you wrote 60.008 HUP instead of 6.000 HUP. I hope that you give me back my money as soon as possible
Thanks
Dear Rodrigo,
we are sorry to hear that!
The rental facility is not managed by us, however, we have contacted the management and advised them about the issue.
They will be in touch with you shortly.
Thank you for choosing us!
Ok! Im waiting of them. Hopefully they give me a solution soon.
Thank you very much for everything!
You can give me the contact and I can write them… I can’t wait much time
Dear Rodrigo,
thank you for your patience. We will contact you in email with the details.
Just to warn anyone visiting Szechenyis Baths don’t leave any money and valuables in a locker !!! We have visited Baths yesterday and an employee stolen money from my locker, unfortunately when I realised it was too late. They say on a website you should close your locker with your on wristband, but employees say something different to unaware tourist…It completely spoiled otherwise great experience…
Dear Paula,
we are really sorry to hear that you had valuables stolen from your locker. Did you perhaps make sure that you actually closed the door of your locker? Did you report the theft to any of the staff working in the baths? There are about 2-3,000 people visiting the baths on a given day, and security is typically not an issue for visitors, so we are truly sorry to hear about your misfortune. We generally do not suggest bringing any valuables to the baths. You can hire a safety box for extra values if you wish: https://szechenyibath.com/can-you-leave-the-bag-in-the-cabin-in-szechenyi-baths/
For any visitors, we recommend to make sure that the door of the locker or cabin is closed properly to avoid any issues regarding safekeeping.
Once again, this is most unfortunate to visit the baths while someone is spoiling that visit. We hope to welcome you back with a much better experience.
To whom I may concern,
I’m planning a trip to the Szechenyi Baths at 25 april 2017 with a group of 23 people.
Is it possible to make a reservation and are there possibilities to get any group reductions?
Thanking you in advance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
