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.

    Hi Jone,
    Can you please direct me where you have seen that the “activity pool” is closed?
    With the fast track ticket that you can but on our website, you can enter between 9 am and 6 pm only. If you wish to enter the Baths at a later time, you will need to purchase the ticket at the venue upon arrival. Our fast-track tickets (sold online) can not be used to enter the Baths after 6 pm.
    I hope this information helps. We hope you will have a great time in Budapest and in Szechenyi Baths.
