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.

I have a friend who wants to visit the baths but I cannot go in due to a medical issue, is there a place where I can wait for my friend or an area to stay while she’s in the baths?
Dear Naomi,
Thank you for your comment. Yes, inside the Spa there are benches, cafe as well where you can take a seat and have a meal etc. Please note that entry tickets still need to be bought if you would like to go inside the Spa.
Should you have further questions, please contact us.
Hei, Are any additional precautions, restrictions have been enforced at the bath in the light of ongoing corona fright all over Europe nowadays? Would it still be safe to visit your SPA? Do we, visitors, need to take any precautions or need to consider something special? We are visiting in the end of March 2020 and are slightly unsure on this issue. Your clarification would help. Thanks.
Are there prices for the flip flops standalone? Or do I have to pay for the whole set?
Dear George,
Slippers cost HUF 4,000 (buy only or you can bring your own).
I hope this helps.

I have family members who visited your baths on the 26th feb and would like to clarify the date Coronavirus visitors were their ?????
Thank you for your prompt reply and advice . Yes one is showing symptoms hopefully it is just the common cold .
How can you cancel last minute with people travelling across Europe’s to come and enjoy this. The fact that your have not even as little as emailed to inform is has just angered me further. Disgusting service I’ve never been more disappointed.

Good evening,
Last friday 6th I went to Szechenyi baths with some friends and I left a bag with souvenirs in locker 132.
I am writing to you in case It is possible to have them back. The problem is that I returned to my homecountry (Spain) yesterday and I just realised during the flight.
If its possible and the bag is still there could you answer me back please?
Thank you very much!
