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.

Hi, we are visiting Budapest 7th-11th August and have tried to book with you at the Szecheryi Baths but you have no online availability. Are we able to get tickets for entry on the day? If so, do we have to get there early before they sell out?
Are you able to buy tickets on the day of you can’t book spaces online?
On August 1, your policy shifts to restrict admission for those visiting under the age of 14. Does this apply also to children under the age of 3 (for mothers with very young children, for example). There were formerly different policies and admission costs for children ages 3-13 vs. 0-3. Just wanted to clarify that after the new policy goes into effect, how will this impact babies? Thank you for your help in clarifying.
Dear Wayne,
Thank you for your message and your interest in the Budapest baths.
We have sent you an email with further details.
Have a lovely summer holiday in Budapest!
Is there no movie night in August?
Dear Haneul,
Thank you for your message.
There are only four announced movie nights each year, as has been the case for the past several seasons. Unfortunately, there won’t be any additional screenings this year beyond the ones already held.
We hope to welcome you at another special event in the future, or anytime for a relaxing visit at the baths.
