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.

How far in advance can we book tickets? Thank you.
Hello Brenda,
Thank you for your comment.
Normally you can book a couple of months in advance.
At the moment the calendar is open until the end of June and the dates are opening up gradually.
bonjour, j’avais échangé avec vous concernant ma venue avec ma fille de 28 ans qui est en fauteuil roulant.
Vous m’aviez dit s’il n’y avait pas de problème mais que pour elle je dois réserver une cabine. Je voudrais réserver maintenant pour le 9 mai mais les réservations ne sont pas ouvertes, je peux juste réserver un casier pour moi. y a t il un moyen de réserver tout de même ou est-ce que je dois attendre la semaine du 6 mai pour réserver les deux places ?
merci pour votre réponse

Weekdays tend to be less busy in the Baths, it is probably not necessary to make a booking in advance.
