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, at night, romantic. In addition to the marvellous medicinal natural hot spring waters in the 18 pools, there are 10 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 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.

Thank you
Hello Jenny,
Thank you for your comment.
Children over 14 years of age are allowed in the Bahts.
Younger children can only use the outdoor, cooler pools.
For families with younger children the Aquaworld Budapest is a great alternative.

Thank you for getting in touch.

We will be in Budapest on Dec 16th and would like to book for a short stay – not the whole day, how can we do this? we need towels and slippers.
Hello Vicky,
Thank you for your comment.
All tickets in the Baths are day entries, unfortunately there are no tickets for a shorter period.
You can purchase a ticket with a locker (rather than a cabin) for a better value price. However, there are no short stay tickets during weekends or the Christmas and New Year holidays (Dec 21 – Jan 7 in 2023: the rates are higher and opening hours may differ from regular days). From Monday to Friday there is a so called ‘Good morning ticket’ which is available on the spot only for early risers, buying entries at the cashier strictly before 9 am.
Towel rental is only included in the Dayspalm package, not included in regular or fast track tickets. We advise you to bring your own towel and flip flops, or you can also purchase them in the gift shop in the Baths (all products subject to availability, not guaranteed to be available in size / colour of preference)
We hope you have a lovely time in Budapest!
