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.

BOOKINGLast updated Dec 8, 2023
Good morning,
Would we be required to arrive at 9am or can we turn up anytime between 9am – 5pm please?
Hello Rhiannon,
guests might arrive anytime after 9 am to enjoy the baths.
We recommend you spend at least 3 or 4 hours and try different pools and saunas, and take your time to relax.
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Bath!
How do we reserve both access to the baths and massage treatment for the four of us visiting? Access to the baths seems simple enough, but to ensure we can get the type of massage we prefer and at the time we want to have it, we don’t see how one can do that on your website. Several website recommend that we reserve and buy the package in advance. Also, is there a phone number that one can call? i tried to send you an email, but it bounced back.
Thank you!
