Szechenyi Baths is open in winter months, making the thermal bath and pools one of the major attractions and winter things to do in Budapest, Hungary. Not only the indoor, but also the outdoor pools are open in winter.
The naturally hot (HOT!) spring waters – coming from deep underground the City Park Budapest – are simply not cooled down as in summer time, to keep bathing guests warm and cozy under the thick steam cushion hanging over the hot baths. It is a unique and unforgettable experience to hide from the cold winter weather in the relaxing thermal pools in Szechenyi Bath, the largest bath of Budapest, chosen to be one of the Top 8 Thermal Baths in the World by Huffington Post.
