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.

BOOKINGLast updated on Oct 11, 2024
TOURISTS ATTENTION !! As I arrived with my partner, there were several more couples than any tourist, we got the tickets in advance from their web-site. The surprise was that when we presented the purchase confirmation e-mail, as indicated, they pushed it back. They only tell us that either we wait to be able to pass the last ones if there is a gap or buy the ticket at the box office again. What they are trying to do is force you to buy again and thus spend twice as much. Of course, since you are a tourist and you are going to go once in your life, well … DO NOT BUY on their website. I recommend going very early and buying it there, if you don’t want trouble or go to another spa.
Hi, I have a question. I am a tourist from Korea. I got the 1st vaccination in Korea and 2nd vaccination in Budapest. And my wife got 1st and 2nd vaccination in Korea.
