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 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.

      We hope you have a great time in Budapest!
