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.

    Hello,

    I was at the baths Saturday night for the party. My friend lost the wristband to our locker during the party, and we are trying to reclaim our items. We had two wallets, containing names of my friend and i along with a white iPhone. We also lost our shoes, sweatpants, and a Bears American football jersey. Please contact me as soon as possible.

  5. hi
    i had writen to u earlier but yet to get a reply
    regards

  6. I visited these beautiful spas yesterday (Monday) and was pleasantly surprised that it was so huge and had such a nice choice of different temperature pools and sauna/steam rooms. The only disappointment was that when you go inside it is not great with the signs of where to go and what to do although the stewards do tell you if you can find them! The staff could be more polite. It was busy even on a weekday. The price of renting a towel is too high and had I know earlier I would have taken my own. All in all I recommend the experience.
