Each evening, the 3 outdoor and 16 indoor pools of Szechenyi Spa Baths are open until late, into the evening hours, from Monday to Sunday, and in all four seasons, at weekends until approx. 8 pm (subject to seasonal change).
More Info on: Mon – Sun Opening Hours
Note: the staff will kindly ask you to leave the pools half an hour before the closing time.
Yes, that is right: Szechenyi Bath nights with its open air pools open all year round – spending an unforgettable night in the outdoor pools (there are more than a dozen indoor pools too) is one of the best things to do in Budapest, not only in spring – summer – autumn, but also in winter time.
Night opening hours mean that you can enjoy fantastic night baths in the open air pools, while enjoying romantic stargazing (in winter time the sun sets at approx. 4pm in Budapest), or just watching from the warm waves how gently the snow is falling – through the warm steam pillow forming over the thermal pools.
Open Air Pools at Night
There are 3 pools of various sizes and temperatures, so you will not feel either too hot or too cold, no matter what the weather is like. The middle pool is the coolest, which is in fact a sports swimming pool, while the two pools on the wings, are natural hot water thermal pools: one of which is cooled down to 33 degrees Celsius and the other is 38 degrees Celsius.
Night Parties in Szechenyi Baths
Almost every month every Saturday night you can join the world famous hip Szechenyi Bath spa parties, known as Sparties, or the rarer and more spectacular peak summer parties called by various names, depending on the theme of a given year, e.g. Water Circus parties, aka Cinetrip sparties.
Hours of Saturday Party Nights: 9.30 pm – 2 am
Sparties are one of a kind all night pool parties in 2 of the thermal outdoor pools in Szechenyi Baths with laser shows, DJ and VJ electronic discos. Typically enjoyed by young people in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
Just like the day time visits in Szechenyi Baths, the night parties are not nude parties, swimwear is compulsory.
Drinks are available at the parties, which take place almost every Saturday night (autumn, winter and spring and summer months too, including the pre NYE Bath Party in December)

How do we buy tickets online for night entry (7 pm – 10 pm) on a weekday?
Does each ticket have to include a locker or can we buy 1 ticket + a locker and 1 ticket without a locker?
Are the indoor pools open or closed from 7 pm – 10 pm?
Dear Donna,
the evening tickets are not available for online booking, they can only be purchased at the cashier.
There are no tickets without a locker or a cabin.
All pools are open until 10pm.
Hi Andy,
it seems there was a typo in your hotmail address in the form (hotnail vs hotmail), and our system put it among the spam emails, sorry about that.
We’ve updated your email address, hope it will be received soon.
Are you allowed to re-enter the baths the same day more than once with an online ticket?
Hello Janet,
I am afraid, it is not possible.
You can only enter the spa once.
I hope I could be of help.
Please how do we book ticket for late afternoon evening for the spa? We planned to come 9th Dec -6 people
How much are the tickets per person. Can we pay in Euros or Hungarian money?
Thank you
Please response
Dear Pek,
Thank you for your comment. Please see the prices here: https://szechenyibath.com/prices/

I hope this help. Have a great day.
I am unable to book December 28th Saturday. Do you have availability or how do I book two tickets for late afternoon and into the night party(spartie)?
Dear Paul,
Unfortunately, there will be no fast track entries or cabins (changing cubicles) sold during the upcoming Winter Holiday Season (between Dec 24, 2019 – Jan 7, 2020) based on a managerial decision. Please note that the baths will be open, however, we kindly suggest that you go there early because tickets/massages will be sold on the spot on the first-come-first-served basis.
Festive guides recommended during the month of Dec:
Budapest Christmas ideas, activities, programs and events
New Year Budapest things to do

The next Sparty day will be on the 30th of Dec. Unfortunately, all of the basic Single tickets are sold out already, but there are other options as well.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Hello there,
I was wondering if Szechenyi is still open until 10pm these days, or you close at 8pm. On this website, both 8pm and 10pm are mentioned several times, so I am confused. Thanks for the clarification in advance.
Dear Doobie,
Szechenyi Spa Baths is open as below:
Mo-Sat 7 am to 8pm – Check in with the online tickets from 9pm to 7pm.
Sunday: 9 am to 9pm.
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Spa Baths!
