Alternative Thermal Baths in Budapest

To avoid any disappointment or long queues, we would encourage guests to explore other very pleasant thermal baths in Budapest where high-quality natural spring and thermal waters fill the pools. Here are some of our top recommendations: the most centrally located of them are Lukacs Bath, Rudas Bath and Kiraly Bath.

Lukacs Bath is one of the most popular and historical thermal baths in Budapest, not to mention the fact, that the entry is free when you have Budapest Cards. If you already have the card why not try one of the most beloved baths of the locals where you can see dozens of ‘Thank you, Lukacs’ plaques on the wall as a commemoration of the healing properties of Lukacs Baths, near Margaret Bridge and Margaret Island by the Danube. Lukacs Thermal Bath is about 20-minute ride on the tram from Gellert Spa. See the route here.

The most popular medieval Turkish bath in Budapest in Rudas Bath. Rudas Bath offers a complex bath and wellness experience, including a hamam. There are 6 other thermal pools in Rudas Bath as well as a larger swimming pool. If you do not wish to join the queues at Gellert Spa, Rudas Bath is just a short ride from the Gellert Hill by public transport, of approx. 10 minutes. See the route here.

Palatinus Bath & Lido / Beach is a sprawling thermal bath complex offering a wide range of pools, slides, and attractions for all ages on Margaret Island Budapest. Enjoy the relaxing thermal waters, experience the thrill of the water slides, and soak up the sun on the spacious sunbathing areas. The indoor pools are open through the winter months and one larger outdoor thermal pool too with scenic views of the spring coming to life on the island. Conveniently located near the Danube River, Palatinus Budapest is easily accessible by public transportation (number 4 – 6 tram) and offers a fun-filled day for the whole family.
