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.

  2. Hello,
    My family is coming to Szechenyi baths on Friday 17 of November.

    They are 2 children (9 and 13 years). I would like to know: in how many swimming pool will they be allowed?

    Also, is it possible for them to have massage of 20 minutes? Can they be in the same room for this massage or with an adult? Does this adult can take a massage of 50 min by this time? How can I book that?

    Thank you for your answer.

  3. Good evening,

    I’ m a teacher and I will be in Budapest on 28th of November. We’d like to come to your bath in the afternoon. There will be 24 of us ( all +18 years old).
    Do we need to make a reservation for the group?
    Do you do any discounts for groups? If so, could you tell me the entrance fee for 24 people ( 2 teachers)?
    If not could you tell me the price for each person?
    What time do you close the baths in the evening?

    Looking forward to receiving your answer.

    Best regards
