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.

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.
