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
Could someone please tell me if I need to book fastrack tickets for a visit midweek? Will it be so busy we need to? We arrive 19th June so will visit on Tuesday or Wednesday that week. Thank you.
Dear Debs,
it is hard to predict how busy the Bath will be on your visiting day, even if it is a midweek day, Szechenyi Baths can be extremely busy. Buying the online Fast track ticket is a comfortable option, but you can also purchase your tickets at the cashiers. Enjoy your time in the Baths!
Hi, this seems like a dumb question. But do the xpress single tickets include entry? They note fast track and drink tokens, but it doesn’t say entry tickets like the other packages do.
Thanks!
Hi Josh,
SINGLE XPRESS includes:
– fast check-in – which is your entry to the party
– 2 drink coupons
Some of the other ticket types don’t include fast check-in, only a regular entry.
Have fun at the Sparty!
Hello,
Can you tell what are the prices to go in the Szechenyis bath for a family with 2 adults, a boy of 11 years old and a girl of 3 years old without changing cubicle approximatively from 16h sunday or monday.
Thank you.
Dear Wavelet,
thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately, there are no children discounts in the bath, as, due to medical reasons, the pools are not recommended for children under 14, but if the parents decide to come anyway at their own responsibility, they can.
Please note that children & babies who are not dry and clean yet (being potty trained) are not allowed in the pools, not even with a swimming nappy.
In Szechenyi Baths there are no slides, or very shallow toddler pools , nor is it allowed to throw balls in the pools. In addition, the area of the pool side is not covered with grass but with stone panels. While we think of Szechenyi Spa Baths as a truly fun place, the baths, saunas, and pools have been primarily designed for men and women and of course, for patients and not for children.
Pricer vary, weekday tickets are cheaper, starting from 16,5 Euro per person.
