Bonjour,
Merci beaucoup pour votre message. Nous vous avons envoyé par email des informations détaillées concernant la réservation.
N’hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous avez d’autres questions.
Buenas tardes, en diciembre estará en obras aún? Gracias
Estimada Maria,
Según la información más reciente disponible, actualmente no hay ningún mantenimiento programado para la piscina durante todo el mes de diciembre, por lo que se espera que esté abierta y funcionando con normalidad durante ese período. Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que los horarios pueden estar sujetos a cambios, por lo que le recomendamos verificar nuevamente más cerca de la fecha de su visita.

HAS THE RENOVATION OF THIS OUTDOOR POOL BEEN COMPLETED YET?
I am planning to visit Széchenyi Baths in September 2025 and would like to know whether the renovation of the main outdoor swimming pool will be completed by then.
Could you please confirm if the pool will be open in September, or provide the expected completion date for the works?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your reply.
Kind regards,
Dear Vincent,
During the time of your planned upcoming visit, Széchenyi Bath is expected to operate with approximately 15 pools, including, potentially, 2 outdoor pools and more than a dozen indoor pools.
Outdoor Pools
– Whirlpool Pool (thermal, warm) – expected to be open
– Thermal Pool (thermal, warmer) – expected to be open
– Cold Water Swimming Pool with Lanes – currently under construction. If you are primarily interested in lap swimming, we suggest Palatinus Bath
Indoor Pools
approx. 12-15 pools available for public guests (additional pools for medical aqua therapy are separate from the publicly shared areas)
Have a great time at the Bath!
As of Nov 9, 2025, is the 50 meter outdoor pool open again? The information given on this page is confusing.
Dear Joe,
We are delighted to confirm that during your visit between 27 October and 21 November, you will be able to enjoy the full thermal experience, including two outdoor pools (the thermal and leisure pools) and 13 indoor pools within the elegant palace building.
Please note that the outdoor lap pool will undergo its regular scheduled maintenance during this period, as part of the standard care process that ensures the best water quality and thermal balance. Additionally, one sauna and one steam room will be temporarily unavailable while all other facilities remain open for your comfort and relaxation.
Here’s a brief overview of what will be available during your visit:
13 indoor pools of varying temperatures inside the main palace building
2 outdoor pools – the thermal pool and the leisure pool – both open and heated (the cool water lap pool temporarily closed)
6 saunas (1 under maintenance)
3 steam rooms (1 potentially under maintenance)
Relaxation areas and wellness zones throughout the complex – Palm House requires add on ticket
On-site café and buffet with refreshment options for a comfortable stay
Massage and spa treatments available (reservation recommended – typically sold out as part of the higher end Private Spa packages)
Hola, que piscinas están en mantenimiento o cerradas el día 14 de noviembre?
Dear Aitor,
Kindly note that between 27 October and 21 November, one of the three outdoor pools – the outdoor lap pool- will be temporarily closed for scheduled maintenance. However, the other two outdoor pools (the thermal pool and the leisure pool), along with all 15 indoor pools inside the palace building, will remain open. You’ll still be able to enjoy a complete and relaxing thermal experience during your visit. Please also note that 1 of 7 saunas and 1 of 4 steam rooms may be temporarily closed for maintenance.
