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.

I am trying to book tickets for the 9th January 2018 but your system will not allow it, are you closed at that time ?
Dear Andrew,
thank you for contacting us.
I can confirm that Szechenyi Baths will be open in January too, but ticket sales will be open only on the 1st week of January. Thank you for your patience.
Is there a good place to propose in the evening at the bath house?
Dear Jack,
the Palm House area might be the best choice for a proposal, as its less busy than other parts of the Baths, and have a wonderful atmosphere: https://szechenyibath.com/palm-house-spa-oasis-in-szechenyi-bath/

I hope I could help!
package 1: bath kit Does NOT include bath ticket? I have to buy the bath kit PLUS bath ticket?
Dear Panayioits,
The 1st package is for those who already purchased a bath entry, and wish to have a Bath kit upgrade later on.
If you wish to purchase the bath entry together with the Bath Kit, we recommend you to choose Package no. 3.
Dear Szechenyi spa,
Four of us would like to come to the spa on Sunday, Dec 24th. I understand you will close at 2 pm.
Will there be some where there to buy lunch?
Will there be cabins available?
Thanks for your time,
Dear Hanna,
unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee the cabins, as we are expecting a lot of guests.
There is a cafeteria at Szechenyi Spa Baths where you can have lunch.
Please see our video of the cafeteria on the link below:
