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,
How can I book a massage without buying the ticket, I would like to buy a massage for a surprise present, but we already have tickets and I can’t see the option buy only the massage.
Dear Betty, could you please let me know if you have bought the online tickets on this particular website? As the email address you used for the comment shows no reservation we assume that you may have used a different email or you .
may have bought your tickets via another partner’s website, not through our site. If the latter, we would recommend you to try to reserve the treatments through the website you used earlier.
For administrative clarity, we can only book massages in advance if the online fast track tickets were purchased via our website too (at an earlier point, or at the same time as the massage). We would like to apologise for any inconvenience.
We can provide gift vouchers but the massage in the gift voucher is combined with a ticket again.
As on the day of the visit most massages will be sold out, you may consider buying a different experience as a nice birthday present in Budapest, like a Budapest river cruise on the Danube at night, a perfect relaxing option on a spa day.
Please let us know if there is any other way we can help.
Hello,
I have not received my confirmation email. Hope you can help.
I have now received it! Thank you.
Dear Leah,
thank you for confirming.
We hope you will enjoy your visit in Szechenyi Baths.
HI! I have purchased 2 tickets for the party on Saturday. Are these valid for the full day?
Hello Marie,
Budapest bath party tickets are valid only from 10.30pm until the party ends at the wee hours on Sunday before dawn, (cannot be used for a daytime visit between 6 am and 10 pm). If you wish to enjoy the baths during day hours, you can buy a regular entry ticket (valid until 10 pm) or a fast track ticket (check in 9 am – 6pm, valid until 10 pm).
Unfortunately, currently there is no option to have a day time and a pool party ticket combined.
You are more than welcome to come and recuperate during the more relaxed hours in the thermal, or try another famous bath in Budapest, like Gellert Spa http://gellertspa.com/ or Rudas Baths, Lukacs Baths (valid with Budapest Card – http://budapestcards.com/lukacs-baths-with-budapest-card-discount) etc.
Have an unforgettable party in Budapest and explore more of the nightlife!
Hi, I recently saw on your website that you sell tickets for the baths after 7pm , I went to try and book it but when I went to pick which ticket I would like it didn’t give me the option for it?
Dear Alicia,
unfortunately, we do not sell evening tickets. As our HelpDesk closes at 6 pm, you can buy tickets upon arrival if you wish to arrive after 6 pm.
I hope I could help.
Hi, I have just purchased a double massage and tickets for the spa. Will we receive these by email? Currently the only confirmation email I have is for the pay pal payment.

Hello,
no problem, thank you for letting us know: we have just resent your online booking confirmation again to the correct email address.
