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.

      Hello Dana,
      Thank you for choosing us.
      We have contacted you via email!
      Enjoy your time at Szechenyi Bath!

  2. Good afternoon,

    Me and my girlfriend are looking to go Széchenyi baths on Friday 11th August 2023. However, looking at your website it seems that you are unable to buy tickets from 8th – 17th August, why is this? Will it be possible to buy a ticket prior to arrival or will we have to buy at the entrance?

    Many thanks,
    Harry

      Dear Harry,
      Thank you for your inquiry.
      Szechenyi baths will be open during the Sziget Festival week. From the previous year’s experiences, the baths will be crowded.
      Tickets will be available exclusively upon arrival to avoid guests standing there with pre-booked tickets and unable to check in (in case the baths get full entering is on a 1in -1 out basis).
      Waiting time can take up to 30-60 minutes.
      I hope this makes sense.
      Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  3. Hi there!

  4. Please can you let me know if you can purchase tickets on arrival. We would be coming on 12th July. What is the cost of an adult ticket? Also please advise if towels are available at the spa or should we bring them with us? Thank you in advance.

      Dear Emma,
      yes, you might buy entries upon arrival.
      Tickets are available on the spot from HUF 9,400.
      Towel rental is suspended, therefore we recommend you bring your own towels.
      You can purchase a towel on the spot: the fluffy towel makes a nice gift and serves as a keepsake towel embroidered with the Szechenyi Bath logo for HUF 6,000.
      Alternatively, you can purchase a disposable towel at a fraction of the cost. For environmental reasons, as part of green tourism, we kindly ask you to consider bringing your own lightweight towel. Microfibre towels are reusable, super absorbing and ultra lightweight, suitable for carrying around the city.
