Szechenyi Bath is in the biggest green park of Budapest, in the 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.

Hi there,
do you need to wear swimming cap at the baths? Also I’m visiting in June will all the thermal pools be open then or is it too hot for them?
Dear Erica,
A swimming cap is only obligatory in the outdoor (cold water) swimming pool, but you can enter all the other pools without one.
The thermal pools are open all year round (indoor and outdoor too).
Have a lovely summer holiday in Budapest!

Hello Angela,
Thank you for your inquiry about the Spa Baths massage services.
Massage treatments are no longer available for pre-booking. Reservation is on the spot, on a first come first served basis, subject to availability.
Kindly note that massages are very popular and always get booked up on the spot (i.e. not guaranteed at the time of your arrival).
We recommend buying your entry tickets online and adding the massages upon your arrival.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

My husband has a drop foot and wears a brace to walk. He is unable to wear flip flops. What type of footwear is permitted. Any plastic type shoe? I would buy new ones. Thank you
