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. In addition to the marvellous medicinal natural hot spring waters in the 18 pools, there are over 6 saunas / steam cabins, several massage therapies, facial treatments, and more. 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.

I had the incredible opportunity to visit Szechenyi Thermal Bath, and it was truly a rejuvenating experience. The beautiful architecture and soothing waters make it a must-visit destination in Budapest. I enjoyed reading the comments from others who’ve been there too. It’s amazing to see how this place has touched so many lives and created lasting memories. I can’t wait to return and soak in its unique charm once again.

Dear Andrea,
Thank you for contacting us. It seems that there was a typo in the email in the booking form.
We have also let the tech team know that you need a new QR code to the corrected email.
Enjoy Szechenyi Bath!
Is there a pool for kids 4 years old? or a place where the kids could be?

Dear Joyce,
Thank you for contacting us.
We have received the booking and emailed you.
Have a nice time in Budapest!
Hi, you have these options under : Ticket – Szechenyi Baths (with Cabin/ private Changing cubicle or Locker) = one for the Cabin and one for Locker – what is the difference between these two things? Is there a locker within a cubicle? Please can you advise so I can book tickets. Thanks!
Dear Sukhy,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Tickets are available with lockers or with cabins.
If you choose tickets with lockers, you can get changed in the public men only and women only changing rooms and store your belongings in the lockers. Lockers are closed with the wristband provided upon arrival.
The cabin is like a tiny room where you can get changed and store your belongings.
The cabin size is approx. that of a dressing room in a clothes shop and the door has a unique chip code lock, which opens and closes with a special waterproof bracelet: in fact, with the chip incorporated in the wristband bath entry provided at the bath. Please make sure that your door is locked with the silicon wristband before leaving the cabin. As you are wearing the band all the time, it is quite secure if you make sure that the door is not left open.
We recommend bringing your own towels, as rental services are suspended since the Covid pandemic.
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.

Why can’t i book a ticket for 4 to 7 of January?It would be very helpfull if i could a respond
Dear Christodoulos,
Thank you for your commen.t
2024 rates are not confirmed yet.
The end of December festive period is usually not bookable online (until mid January).
Kindly note that no online pre-booked tickets are available for the holiday season, tickets will be only available on the spot.
The baths will be open during the festive period and the previous year’s experiences it is generally the busiest period of the year.
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.
