You can reserve your online bath tickets in Hungarian Forint (HUF for short) to Széchenyi Thermal Bath to use the QR-enabled expedited check-in service for a smoother arrival experience. The QR codes are to be redeemed upon entrance: instead of a paper voucher you will be given a waterproof silicon wrist band with a built in chip equipped ‘watch’ which opens and closes the locks (of lockers and cabins alike).
HUF price list is available on the following page: Széchenyi Baths prices. The page shows a combination of EUR and HUF pricing depending on the type of ticket you wish to buy. Typically online tickets are priced in Euro. Most Budapest baths set their official admission prices in Hungarian forint, while prices shown in other currencies are usually converted for convenience. The base of the rates is Hungarian Forint, which means that Euro pricing may change several times within a given year. Please note that prices are subject to change and may vary seasonally so it is best to re-check prices before your planned visit if you wish to purchase the tickets on the spot rather than securing them online in advance.
HUF payment is accepted at the cashier in cash or by card. Kindly note that only Forint banknotes / coins are accepted at the cashier no other currencies (in cash).
Paying by Card? Choose HUF at the Cashier
If you pay by credit or debit card at the payment terminal in the thermal baths and are asked whether you would like to pay in Hungarian forint (HUF) or in your home currency (such as GBP, EUR or USD), it is generally advisable to select HUF rather than your home currency. Choosing your home currency – rather than HUF – usually means the conversion is less favourable as it is carried out by the merchant or payment provider using Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which often includes an additional exchange rate markup.
By selecting HUF when paying by card in Hungary, the currency conversion is normally handled by your own card provider, which frequently offers a more favourable exchange rate. (As always, this depends on your bank’s terms and any foreign transaction fees.)
Exchanging Cash at the Cashier in Szechenyi Bath
If you prefer to pay in cash, where you exchange your money before the bath visit can make a noticeable difference. Exchange rates for Hungarian forint are often less favourable outside Hungary, while reputable exchange offices in Budapest city centre frequently offer better rates.
On the other hand, currency exchange desks at airports are commonly among the more expensive options due to wider exchange spreads. If possible, compare exchange rates before converting larger amounts of cash.
Online tickets allow entry from 7:00 am onwards (depending on the ticket type it may change), and are especially recommended for Friday – Sunday visits throughout the year, not only in peak holiday or festive season. Early risers may benefit from a quieter and calmer bath environment and can also choose to purchase tickets directly at the cashier with shorter queues building up at the cashiers (typically between 7 am and 8.30 am).
Before your visit, it is strongly recommended to check the current HUF exchange rate. If you plan to exchange money, city center exchange bureaus typically offer better rates than airport offices, which work with considerably less favourable rates.
If you are interested in Euro based Szechenyi bath tickets rather than HUF, you can make the reservation in the following booking form:
Hello,
I wanted to buy “fast track Szechenyi Bath Ticket” but just for the evening (from 7PM to 10PM) and use the Budapest card 20% discount. Should I buy full day and in the entrance you will return me the discount and the diffenrence between full day and just evening?
Thank you for your respond.
Hello Tereza,
evening tickets (after 7 pm) are only available on the spot.
Our HelpDesk closes at 6 pm, you can pay for the entries at the cashiers.
And apply the 20% discount is also possible only on the spot? even for full day ticket? Thank you :)
Hi Tereza, yes, you can use your Budapest Card discount to buying a standard full day, full price (but not fast track) ticket on the spot by joining the queue at the cashier.
But the full day ticket is the full price, not the after 7pm reduced price.
If you buy your ticket on the spot for the cheaper evening price, after 7pm, you can not apply the Budapest Card 20% off discount on top of that, as these promotions cannot be combined I’m afraid.

Dear Budapest Baths,
I ordered 9 online tickets to the baths on the 19th of July, but the tickets have not been sent to my email yet.
Thank you for letting us know, Arianna, I’ve just forwarded the email again, and I’ll forward the confirmation to this other version of your address too (the system sends the auto confirmation of the e-ticket to the email as is in the form typed in, and it was different from the one you provided now).
