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.

  5. Hi,
    Planning on coming here with my mum next month but she is a little insecure about her psoriasis. Are cover ups allowed to be worn when walking around the baths?

    Thanks

    Goodmorning, yesterday I came to the bath from
    5pm to 8 pm but unfortunately I lost my watch in cabin nº461 in the upper shelf. Is a tissot silver watch with a black leather band. If you have found it or if you find it today please let me know, it’s very important for me.
    Thank you
