Book Your Valentine’s Escape

Whether you are staying at one of the best spa hotels in Budapest, or any of the romantic hotels, the most important thing is how you actually spend your romantic Budapest break. Spending on the fun, and the romance is an absolute must to enjoy a fantastic romantic holiday in the Paris of East as Budapest is often mentioned.

What we recommend for your Valentine’s Day program at Szechenyi Baths: have a prosecco in the baths, soak in the warm waters supplied by natural spring wells, get a massage, enjoy the steams and the stars in the open air pools, romantic walks nearby. Now how does that sound for a romantic evening?

Avoid the Busy House at Szechenyi Bath

February 14 is not much celebrated by locals yet, as Valentine’s Day in Hungary has only recently been growing into an event. So in all probability you will not have to compete with many couples who schedule a bath visit on the Day of Love.

The busiest hours at Szechenyi Bath Budapest in mid February are around mid afternoon, when the lunch hours are over, but it is still not dinner time.

The Széchenyi Bath has a enchanting vibe until closing time at 8 pm, all facilities—including both indoor and outdoor pools—close at 7:30 pm. Before then, the three outdoor pools are open, and two of them are pleasantly warm, perfect for relaxing under the open sky. If you’re lucky, you might catch a starry night or see snowflakes gently falling into the steam rising from the warm waters.

Night opening hours mean that you can enjoy fantastic night baths in the open air pools, while enjoying romantic stargazing (in winter time the sun sets at approx. 5pm in Budapest), or just watching from the warm waves how gently the snow is falling – through the warm steam pillow forming over the thermal pools.

The Cafe of Szechenyi Bath is a good snack bar with all sorts of drinks: alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, teas, champagnes, wines or beers.

Get a Massage at Szechenyi Bath

Schedule your Valentine’s Day bath visit slightly earlier to have a chance to try the indoor pools, steam rooms, saunas & plunge pools and, of course, to have a massage in Szechenyi Baths with professional masseuses.

Booking a Valentine’s Day massage in advance is a must. To avoid any inconvenience that could upset your schedule we suggest booking a massage therapy in advance.

To make the experience even more relaxing you can consider upgrading to the Palm House package in Szechenyi Bath which also includes rental services.
