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.

Is nudity allowed in anywhere?

Thank you for your inquiry.
In normal times there is a rooftop nude bathing area during the hotter months of the year (Jun – Sep). Please check with the cashier upon arrival about the upcoming opening hours and availability (there have been several changes and modifications due to the Covid regulations, so it is best and most accurate to check it on the spot in the baths).
Hi, I am planning a trip to Budapest next week. Will baths be open, please?
Hello Roshannake,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Currently it seems that the baths is very likely to stay closed throughout the month of February.
That said, we recommend making a phone call just the day of your planned visit to make sure that you receive the most updated information with regards to the opening times of the thermal baths in Budapest. Thank you and looking forward to welcoming you in Hungary (once the borders have been reopened).
Hello !
I wonder if the bathhouse is opened?
Best Regards
Hello Yasemin,
The Baths will, most probably, fully open their gates later on during the 2021 year (there is a partial opening scheduled from Apr 19, 2021 but the pools will not re-open, only some of the medical services offered by the thermal baths in Budapest). At this moment there is no solid date set for the re-opening of the spa pools in Szechenyi Baths. Please keep checking back for travel status in Europe as well as government updates in Hungary with regards to the openings of spas, gyms, and other public institutes, places of interest on the Hungarian government portal to get the most recent news.
Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation to stop the spread of the Covid 19 pandemic.
We are looking forward to welcoming visitors in Budapest when travelling and sharing public spaces are regarded safe to visit.
