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.

Goodmorning, yesterday I came to the bath from

Thank you

Unfortunately, there will be only 3 parties in December (Dec 3rd, Dec 10th and Dec 30th).
I’m sure you get this question a lot. I saw that there is no rental service but you can purchase slippers, a bath cap etc. Can I use my credit card for everything or do I need cash?
Thank you!
Hello Jennifer,
Cards are also accepted.
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Spa Baths!
