Discount tickets in Szechenyi Baths can be purchased with the official Budapest tourist card. Budapest Cards offer a 20% discount on the entry fees to Szechenyi Bath. You can book a Budapest Card online. If you book the Budapest Card Plus, which is an upgraded version of the standard Budapest Card, you can even get a pick up from Budapest Airport, head to Szechenyi Bath and make use of your discount, and enjoy a fantastic range of further benefits in the city of Budapest (free public transport in all zones of Budapest, free entry to the Buda Castle, free ride on the Funicular, free guided river cruise on the Legenda panorama bubble boat with a drink, a return transport back to Budapest Airport, free entry to more than 15 museums and a long list of further discounts and benefits).
Discount in Szechenyi Baths
Budapest Card Discount
- 20% off Szechenyi Bath Ticket prices
- Cheap Tickets with a Locker
- Even cheaper Tickets with a Locker on a weekday (Mon- Thu)
- no discount on Online Tickets
- no discount on Szechenyi Bath Services
- no discount on Szechenyi Bath Party tickets (early bird available)

The 20% discount of Budapest Card applies to the bath ticket prices, but not to the spa services. Although massages, pedicure, manicure, beauty treatments, rentals are not available on a discount price with the Budapest Card, the standard bath ticket does offer a lot in itself.

- free use of the 10 saunas and steam rooms (Finnish Sauna, Chamomile Sauna, Infra Sauna) in Szechenyi Bath Steam Department and Thermal Department
- free use of the Aqua Fitness classes in the fitness pool
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).

Hi
There are 12 of us looking to book tickets for the 27th July. Is there a group discount available at all?
Thanks,
Andre
Hello Andre,
Thank you for reaching out.
We have sent you an email with more details.
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Bath!
Hi, we are visiting Budapest for a few days and want to spend a Monday morning at the spa. Do you have half day tickets available with a changing cubicle. Thank you.
Dear Christopher,
Thank you for contacting us.
We have sent you the an email with more details.
Most importantly, there are no half day or part day options currently at Szechenyi thermal baths.
However, you are free to leave the baths earlier if you do not wish to stay at the baths all day.
‘Good Morning’ Ticket
We believe that the best value option for your preferences would probably be the entry type called “Good morning” ticket that is sold on the spot: you can only buy them offline, at the cashier between 7 am and 9 am every weekday (from Monday to Thursday). In other words this value ticket is not available for purchase after 9 am or between Fri and Sun. If your trip is for the weekend, the cheapest option is to buy a ticket with a locker, also on the spot.
Discounts
Although Szechenyi Bath or Gellert Spa, the two most popular options in Budapest currently, do not offer cheaper tickets, there are several other thermal baths in Budapest where the tickets are lower price, such as Lukacs Baths or Rudas Bath.
How long can I stay?
The daily saver ‘good morning’ ticket means that only the purchase needs to be timed between 7 am and 9 am (Mon-Thu), then you can stay for the whole day or half a day or only for a few hours. However, as all the tickets to Szechenyi Baths are single day and single pass entries, visitors can only enter once with one entry (there is no option to leave the Baths and return in a few hours again with the same ticket as a repeated visit would require the purchase of another ticket). Having said that, there is a self service cafeteria inside or you can bring your own picnic lunch to save on costs for a longer spa day.
Hello, we have purchased a budapest toursit card and want to buy tickets for the spa ahead of time. How do we do that and get the 20% off discount? Thank you!!
Hi Shavonne,
Thank you for your question.
Budapest Card discounts can only be used at the cashier for tickets purchased on the spot.
Please present your valid Budapest Card to the Cashier at the baths in Budapest to find out about the available options.
Online tickets are not available with a Budapest Card discount at the moment.
*Sorry I meant thermal bath not the spa!!
