Guided Tours at Szechenyi Baths

If you wish to see the beautiful neo-baroque palace of the famous Szechenyi Baths from the inside, but you do not plan to actually take a bath in the pools, or have a massage at Szechenyi Baths, you can take a short and affordable guided tour in the building.

Unfortunately, guided tours are temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The tour is indeed short, as the bath complex is not like a museum: there are actually 500-1,500 people swimming and soaking in the 19 baths and pools of the huge bath complex. The Szechenyi Bath Tours take about 15 minutes, and you will see many of the rooms (e.g. the representative reception room called the Marble Room), pools and baths of the palace.

Where can I buy a ticket for Szechenyi Bath Tours?

You can buy your Szechenyi Bath Tour ticket at the cashier in Szechenyi Baths.

When are Szechenyi Bath Tours scheduled?

Tours start at 10.30am and 4pm from Monday to Sunday. The tours are only in English or Hungarian. For further appointments or languages, please contact us via email at info [at] szechenyispabaths.com.

Taking a peek inside the Szechenyi Baths and Pool complex will reveal how big the building is (max capacity is 1,800 people of all the 18 pools, plus there are saunas, steam rooms, etc.). The architecture of the building is beautiful, with marble statues, decorative neo-baroque curves, light and elegant yellow-white walls, columns, which are accented by the black and white floors. The corridors can feel weird and prove that Szechenyi Baths was established at an age when medicinal water treatments and public health institutions were literally more institutionalized. A sharp contrast with today’s fun wave pool and other merriment.

  3. Hello,

    We are a group of 4 adults and 3 kids interested in the guided tour on Sunday, April 1. Are these tours on fixed times? Kindly let me know so that we can reach the Baths accordingly.

    Thanks,

      Dear Komal,
      there are no fix hours for the guided tours. The tours are on demand – normally from 10am to 4pm from Monday to Sunday.

  4. Are the outdoor pools also toured in the guided tours. As here it seems to be only building and pools inside the building are toured

      Hello,

      thank you for your email.

      The Szechenyi Bath Tours take about 15 minutes, and you will see many of the rooms (e.g. the representative reception room called the Marble Room).

      I am afraid, no outside pools are showed during a tour.

      You can buy your Szechenyi Bath Tour ticket at the cashier in Szechenyi Baths.

      I hope I could be of help.

  5. Hi is it possible to take pictures during the tour?

  6. We would like to bring a group of 98 American students to swim in the outdoor pool next February.
    Do you have a group price if they have only two hours to spend there?
    Or do you recommend indoor pools for them?
    Thank you very much!

      Hello Kathie,

      thank you for your comment.

      Do you know whether it will be a weekday or a weekend visit (the prices vary).

      May I please ask how old the students are? The thermal pools are not suggested for children under the age of 14.

      Waiting for your reply.
