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.
Szechenyi Bath is considerably less packed from around 6-7 pm. At 7 pm all the indoor facilities (pools, saunas, steam rooms, services) close down. But the three outdoor pools are open, two of which are very warm, and warm enough to keep you really warm under the open sky. If you have luck, you can even see a starry night, or a snowfall, flakes dropping into the steam cushion spreading over the outdoor warm baths.
From 7 pm the pools quiet down, most guests leave the baths to enjoy a dinner in a good Budapest restaurant. So you can easily spend 2 or 3 hours in the thermal baths, and feel as if you had your palace. Of course, you will not be completely alone, but the pools and the bath is big, much bigger than many tourists think of the 18 pools, so you will have some privacy.
The Cafe of Szechenyi Bath is a good snack bar with all sorts of drinks: alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, teas, champagnes, wines or beers are all available from about 7 am to 9 pm.
