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:
We already bought tickets (on 24/10/19) for entrance on Friday 27/12 with private cabine…Reading in comments that no cabins will be available, does this mean that our “private spa in superiour room” is no longer valid?
Thank you for your comment.
We would like to kindly inform you that the purchase of your online ticket took place via an official third party reseller of Szechenyi Bath, who are working through Hungaria Koncert Ltd. placing a valid reservation at the baths.
We would like to kindly ask you to contact them directly at frontoffice@hungariagroup.com.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Hello, when you book a ticket including a cabin do you still get access to a locker? Thanks
Hi,
were planning to come to the baths on the 11th January 2020, however we only need one cabin between us, do we been to book one person with a cabin and the other just a ticket? or doesn’t it matter if we just book 2 people with a cabin as the price varies.
Dear Chelsea,
Thank you for your comment.
Please note that you cannot buy a ticket without a locker or a cabin. Both lockers and cabins are designed to store your belongings, but there are important differences between them. Of course, you can share a cabin between you, in this case, we would recommend buying one ticket with a locker, and another one with a cabin.
I hope this helps.
Hello
Is there a reason it is not letting me book until the 8th January?
Thank you,
Dan
Hi
What is the difference with the package that includes the towel, does this give the flip flops and swim hat etc
Dear Dan,
Normally tickets are sold without towels, only includes entries. There are bath kits, other types of tickets which include entry, towels, flips flops etc: https://szechenyibath.com/szechenyi-bath-kit-towel-entry/
I am booking for a group of 8 people. From your website it looks like you book a fast pass and just turn up.
I assume your ticket would guarantee entry and there is no risk to turn up and it be full?
Many Thanks
Kelly
Dear Kelly,
Yes, you can book Fast track entry tickets for 8 people as well. Both tickets (online and onsite) are valid for the day of your visit, until closing hours. It is hard to predict how many people would be in the Spa. If your visit is not on a National Holiday or weekend, then it is normally not too full.
I hope this helps.
Hi Coral,
Thank you for your question.
Please go ahead and follow this link for booking: https://szechenyibath.com/booking/ You can purchase 3 tickets for the same day in one go, however, there is no discount available in case of booking for 3 together at the same time.
We wish you a wonderful time at the bath in Budapest!
