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.

Hi! Will be visiting your bath this late November from the other side of the world. We were wondering if the Daily ticket with cabin usage package is good for 2? or we have to pay 5400 ft each?
Please advise. Thanks!
Hello Judy,
you will need to purchase 2 entry tickets for 2 guests.
You can save some Euros on buying 1 ticket with locker and 1 with cabin, so you can share the cabin (and take turns in getting changed).
Hope we can welcome you at Szechenyi Spa Baths!
Hi,
My husband and I are planning to visit the bath today. I wanted to check if there is a public changing room or then one of us has to buy a cabin?
Thanks,
Fatema
Hello Fatema,
there are public changing rooms for ladies and for gentlemen separately, so you can change there as store your belongings in the lockers provided.
If you prefer, you can book your tickets with cabins too.
Enjoy your visit at Szechenyi Spa Baths!
Hello!
I’ll be on Budapest near de 21st september and I would want to visit Szechenyi Bath.
After I read some of comments I’ll have some questions.
If I’ll buy a ticket with locker, I’ll change were?
The public cabine is for men and women together?
A ticket with cabine is suitable for me and my handbag?
Thanks for the attencion.
Hello Leandra,
if you book tickets with lockers you can change in the public changing rooms and store your belongings in the lockers provided. The size of the locker is 120x30x65 cm (1200 x 300 x 650 mm).
The cabin is like a tiny room, or cubicle, which can store a standard check in suitcase/ handbag easily.
The cabin size is approx. that of a dressing room in a clothes shop, so you can leave there the 20 kg suitcase as well ( if it is a regular size) along with your jackets etc.
The door of the cabin/ locker has a unique chip code lock, which opens and closes with a special waterproof bracelet: in fact, with the chip incorporated in the wristband bath entry provided at the bath. Please make sure that your door is locked with the silicon wristband before leaving the cabin. As you are wearing the band all the times, it is quite secure if you make sure that the door is not left open.
Have a nice holiday in Budapest!
