Szechenyi Baths & Pool: Fun Place, Fine Palace
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.

It’s ok now. They we’re very kind about it
Dear Amanda,
that is great, you have the tickets. Have a lovely time in the Baths!
Hello dear staff at Szechenyi spa,
I am considering to buy an online bath ticket in euro currency. The conditions are: I’ll check in 9am – 6pm, can stay till 10pm if I wish.
I want to ask: if I leave the building, I can not return anymore with the same ticket, right? That means, I can not come at 9 am, stay until let´s say 1 pm and then come back again at 6 pm with the same ticket?
Thank you very much for the information,
Barbora
Dear Barbora,
Szechenyi Bath Tickets unfortunately not multipass Tickets, so it means you can enter only once, you can stay till closing hours, but if you leave the building, you cannot enter with the same ticket anymore. Thank you for your understanding.
