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’m going to Budapest for two days (from the 10th September to the 12th September) and I would like to visit the Szechenyi Baths.
I’m lading at 4:45pm in the 10th September and I have to do the check-in in the hostel before going to the baths. What I would like to know is if I can purchase tickets on the facilities until 7pm or, if I purchase them online, can I enter at 7pm?
I can only visit the baths on the 10th since I’m visiting the city on the 11th and departing at 1pm on the 12th.
Thank you for your attention.
Hi, I am not able to use my Bank details to pay for my booking on 04.09.2017. Could you kindly share with me your account details so that i can do a Bank transfer ?
I need two tickets with a private cabin on 04.09.2017. Thanks for your support.
Hi, It does not work again. I tired with the link to the bank. I would like to avoid waiting in line for the ticket when we are there. Is there any other way to pay ?
Hi, one more question. In the worst case, is it possible to get the ticket on Friday, to enter the bath on sunday ?
hello，I want to confirm that if I get an afternoon ticket and check in after 7 pm, can I use the indoor pool?
Hello Hiko,
I am afraid, that the indoor thermal pools are closing at 7 pm.
It is not possible to check in with the online tickets after 6pm.
Please find more details about the opening hours of the pools on the link below:

Hi,
A few of my friends and I are planning to visit the Szechenyi Baths on Saturday 9th September 2017. We want to visit the baths during the day/evening as well stay for the party at night. However, we’re unsure if we have to buy the day ticket as well as the party one or can we just buy the day ticket and stay for the night as well?
Hi, I was wondering if there were any group discounts as 7 of us are planning to visit some day next week; we were also wondering how long the ticket allows us to stay in the baths.
Dear Tanya,
unfortunately, we are unable to offer a discount for 7 guests.
You can check in with the Fast Track Tickets from 9 am to 6 pm, and stay until closing (10 pm).
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Spa Baths!
Hello, do we have to pay on card or can we turn up and pay for 5 tickets and lockers by cash?
Dear Liam,
you can pay by card and also by cash in HUF at the cashiers.
Have a lovely time in the Baths!
