Szechenyi Baths (built in 1913) is the most visited and much praised attraction in Budapest: relaxing, fun, affordable and, in the evenings, romantic.

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 would like to book 4 tickets for the 1st in the baths but It says I have to have a paypal account. I dont have one and dont want to have one, how can i pay by visa card.
Dear Conor,
Thank you for your comment.
The booking form automatically redirects you to the PayPal page, where you can pay by card without owning or opening a PayPal account, simply using the interface of PayPal. You do not need to have a PayPal account for payment as there is an option for ‘Guest check out’. On the page, after scrolling down, you can see a grey button saying “Check Out as a Guest”. If you click on it, you can fill out your card payment details, and after clicking “Pay Now”, you are all set.
Please let me know if I can help with your booking.

Hello,
When are the least crowded ? Morning ? Afternoon ?
Is it possible to take photos in Bath ?
Regards,
F.
Dear Guilb,
thank you for your inquiry about a photo permit at Szechenyi Spa Baths.
Photos can be taken inside the Baths but only for your own private use, and only if there are no other people in the pictures.
If you wish to publish the photos, I’m afraid you will need to ask for a photo permit even if it is a micro blog or a smaller website.
Please contact us if you need the email address for the photo permit. info [at] szechenyispabaths.com
Most guests are arriving after 11 am and in the early afternoon hours, so if you arrive just after 9 am, there is a good chance that there will be much fewer people. I hope I could help. Enjoy your holiday in Budapest!
