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.

Enjoy the thermal baths and spa relaxation in Budapest!
hello, do we have where to park the car at your facilities?
Hello Christina,
Thank you for contacting us.
You can use the open air parking spots at the address number 16 Allatkerti korut Road by Szechenyi Baths or choose to park the car in the parking house called ZOOna located at the end of Allatkerti korut Road road towards Hermina út road.

That said the thermal baths are easily accessible by public transport for a greener tourism option: there is a metro station right near Szechenyi Baths on the yellow line (M1 ‘Little Underground’ as the locals call it is a quirky historical underground running since the end of the 19th century, an attraction in itself)
We hope you enjoy your stay in Budapest!
Poor hygiene! 2 people walking around in the pool with a nose bleed and 1 person cut their foot on a broken tile in the pool and staff cleaned the blood from the side of the pool with a bucket of pool water thrown over whilst rubbing their foot over it to ‘clean it’. And on top of this there was the lining of swimming shorts floating around and multiple other not nice things.
I would like to book entry into the Szechenyl Bath in the morning of Dec 11th Monday. I also want to book a couples massage at that time for 45 minutes. Can you please tell me the best way to make this reservation and confirmation of the times. Does this include a cabin or locker or any amenities? Do we pay now or later?
