When visiting Széchenyi Thermal Bath, proper footwear is an essential part of the spa experience. For health, safety, and hygiene reasons, wearing suitable ‘bath footwear’—typically waterproof slippers or flip flops—is mandatory throughout the building. This applies not only to the poolside areas but also to the corridors and communal spaces inside the bath complex.
If you arrive without appropriate footwear, a limited selection of slippers and clogs may be available for purchase at the entrance, subject to availability. However, due to seasonal demand, not all sizes and styles may be in stock, so it’s best to come prepared.
Accepted Footwear:
- Waterproof slip-on shoes
- Flip flops
- Rubber or plastic clogs (e.g. Crocs)
- Aqua shoes or beach shoes (only outside the pools)
Not Accepted:
- Street-style sandals or sports sandals, even if they appear similar to flip flops
- Footwear made of fabric, leather, or materials likely to be damaged by water
- Teva-style sandals or strapped footwear
Footwear must be removed before entering any pool. While aqua shoes may be worn in spa areas and corridors, they should not be used inside the pool water. This helps maintain the clarity and cleanliness of the pools.
It’s strongly recommended to bring a clean, dedicated pair of waterproof shoes used only within the bath complex. Crocs-style clogs or plastic sandals with full sole coverage are a safe and popular choice, offering comfort and practicality during your visit.
Following these guidelines helps maintain a safe, hygienic, and enjoyable environment for all visitors to Széchenyi Bath.
