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.

      Hello Richard,
      normally there is the famous pre-NYE Spa party on Dec 30. At the moment the winter dates are not confirmed, we recommend you check our website in late November to make your reservation. Hope we can welcome you at the Sparty!

  6. CUIDADO TURISTAS!! Al igual que llegue con mi pareja, había varias parejas más que como cualquier turista, sacamos los ticket con antelación desde su web-site. La sorpresa fue que cuando presentamos el e-mail de confirmación de compra, tal y como indican, nos lo echan atrás. Solo nos dicen que o bien esperamos a poder pasar los últimos si hay hueco o comprar el ticket en taquilla de nuevo. Lo que intentan es forzar a que compres de nuevo y de esta manera gastarte el doble. Claro, como eres turista y vas a ir una vez en la vida, pues… NO COMPRAR en su página web. Recomiendo ir bien temprano y comprarlo allí , si no quieres disgustos o ir a otro balneario.
