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.

Hello! I’m planing to come here on the 25th of March, but I’ve seen that the outdoor pool is closed on that date. However, the 15th of March it is opened. So I just wanted to ask if there’s a mistake in the web. Also, I’d like to ask you how does it affect to the spa, I mean, not being able to use this pool is really important? Because apparently it’s the most beautiful part of the spa, but I don’t know.
Thanks in advance,
Belén.
Dear Belén,
yes, the outdoor wave pool will be closed, but you can use the other 2 outdoor pools and the indoor area too.
As the outdoor whirlpool is renovated, I am afraid that it will remain closed on the 15th of March too.
Enjoy your stay in Budapest!
