Although many tourists assume that Szechenyi Baths is a bigger pool, it may come as a surprise that Szechenyi Furdo is not only a huge bath and pool complex of 18 pools, but a complete wellness centre with various massages (medical, Thai, Swedish, relaxing), aroma therapies, facials and head and decolletage massages, saunas, and more. Did you know that your bath entry includes free aqua fitness classes or that you are welcome to play a chess party by challenging the local bath regulars!

Advance massage bookings are suspended.  Reservation is on the spot, on a first come first-served basis, subject to availability.
Kindly note that massages are very popular and always get booked up on the spot (i.e. not guaranteed at the time of your arrival).

  1. Hi is there a refreshment/ bar in the baths?

  2. Hello! I’m interested in doing several sessions of the hungarian mud therapy, so I was wondering if you have a promotion available for two people. Thank you very much in advance for the collaboration.

  3. I’m looking to book tickets for the spa for two people, one with a Hungarian Mud Therapy massage and one with a pedicure. How it possible to buy tickets and book these treatments in advance? We are looking to visit on the 6th June.

    Thank you.

  5. Is there a hair salon at the spa baths, just for a quick blow dry after the baths, & before going onto somewhere else. If not, are there hair dryers for customer use in the locker rooms?

      Hello Kat,

      unfortunately, there is no hairdresser’s saloon in the spa, but of course, there are many hair dryers in the changing rooms.

      Enjoy your time in Szechenyi Baths!
