Szechenyi Bath Sparty Discounts
Please note that you cannot get a 20% discount on sparty tickets, as Szechenyi bath parties have their own bath party tickets (bath tickets differ from bath party tickets in price and valid hours too). Likewise, the bath ticket discount does not apply to drinks and foods purchased in the Szechenyi Bath Cafeteria, to rental services or spa services, etc.
Group Discount in Szechenyi Baths
For smaller groups we can offer standard ticket prices with a faster, no hassle group entrance, which considerably speeds up the entry process to the baths. Please let us know if you wish to get a QR Code Expedited entry with your group of 10 or more members.
Group discounts are in general for groups of 10 or more members. The group discount amount and option range varies based on the group size and the date of your visit (weekends are more expensive). You can buy a group discount bath ticket for a weekday or a weekend visit, in Euro or in Hungarian Forint. Please contact us for further details via email.
Bath tickets, massages, etc. can be booked with approx. 2-5% discount for groups in Szechenyi Baths. Please ask for a personal quote at info [at] szechenyibath.com for your group.
Group discount at the Budapest bath party: please check our party page for further details regarding group discount tickets for the pool party.
Ticket Refund in Szechenyi Baths
Some years ago, Budapest baths offered a special time saving scheme to bath guests: you would get a Szechenyi Bath ticket refund or Gellert Spa ticket refund, if you only stayed 2-3 hours in the baths. This system has been cancelled, and since 2011, no ticket refunds have been issued in the thermal baths in Budapest, Hungary. The short stay bath ticket discount is not in use any more. Your best option to buy the cheapest ticket in Szechenyi Bath is to buy a bath entry after 7 pm (but note that some facilities close earlier and are not available after 7 pm).

Hello, I intend the budapest card 72h for oct 2nd. I want to visit the baths on the 3rd. Can I buy the tickets with the discount publicited in budapestcard in advance? Thanks
Dear Patricio,
Thank you for your inquiry about the Budapest card discount in Szechenyi Bath.
Basically, the card discount is only available on the spot. Other services can be booked separately (or pre-booked online separately). Please make sure to reserve for the same date as all services inside the baths are only available with a bath ticket for bath users.
Wishing you a wonderful time at Budapest Szechenyi Bath!
My group of 20 people plan on visiting Szechenyi Bath on November 19th, is there a group discount for large groups? Also, if we choose the Palm House Spa package for 120 euros and add the Taxis for 10 euros, do you have taxis to accommodate 20 people or 5 taxis as we are staying at the Hotel Vision. In November is it cold?
Our group of 6 adults wishes to visit the Szechenyi Baths on Friday, October 17, 2025.
We will be arriving at the baths at 3:00 in the afternoon. Is there a half day ticket we can purchase?
Appreciate your reply.
