Details

The Széchenyi Bath is the largest thermal spring bath complex not only in Budapest but in Europe as well. It was built in 1913 in a Neo-baroque style. At the time it opened its baths were private, having separate steam baths for men and women, as well as different public baths for men and women.

But the experience doesn't end at the spa; it extends into the heart of Hungarian culture with tasting options inside the Hungarian Gastro Cellar. After your rejuvenating day at the spa, venture into the city center to savor the flavors of the “Hungarian spirit”. We believe that a nation can be truly known through its cuisine, discover Hungary's drinks with us: choose between 1cl of pálinka or 2x0.5dl of wine (one white — one rosé) complimentary tasting.

Reserve your Széchenyi Thermal Spa & Gastro Cellar combo ticket now for the perfect blend of relaxation and cultural discovery.

• Your ticket is valid only for one-time entry.

The thermal baths were amazing, our favourite was the outside ones but we wished both of them were hot as the one with the seating in the middle and the current was cooler and we would have wanted to sit in it longer if it was as lovely and hot as the other outdoor one. Don’t bother with the Palinka museum, we decided to go as it was only a few feet from our hotel and we had some time to kill before going to the airport. It was very underwhelming, the interactive stuff would have been good if it had worked! The barman was lovely and we enjoyed chatting to him while we tasted some Palinka, which we did not enjoy!

Loved the Thermal Spa - staff were great when I felt unwell, supported me and ensured I was ok later. Very busy though.

We loved our trip. very relaxing once we were in. A little confusing with 'picking up the tickets' as it's the same desk that you buy normal tickets from. All of the private cabins were in use when we got there so they offered a locker instead which was fine. need to take your own towel and flipflops as advised on the ticket info.

Great place to visit whilst visiting Budapest even in the cold of winter. While this is a day pass I believe you may have to stay within the baths to obtain this (I may be wrong) while leaving we had to hand our wrist bands back. A cafe is located in the baths. Outdoor baths were amazing but if you like to achieve cleanliness I wouldn’t recommend the indoor thermal suite as there was a let me say horrible smell. The sauna was also amazing to visit.

Good value for money, made it super simple to get into the spas. Wasn’t able to make the testing unfortunately but it was in a good area. I would recommend going in peak summer, will be busy but it was overcast the day we went so didn’t stay as long as we could have on a sunny day

We have visited the spa once before, however using definitely sped things along when we arrived. A fair price, and a great experience … didn’t have the time for the additional Palinka Tour, which would have been good, but maybe next time. Highly recommend

Overall the baths were very enjoyable and relaxing. We went in late September so it was not nearly as busy as some of the reviews mention in the summer however it was a little cooler and did rain for a bit. Definitely would recommend checking this out

excellent venue, would recommend getting there early as loungerw fill up quickly once it gets busy. only tried the small cafes on the side of the lockers and couldn't complain about food. they do follow strick rules in the pool no food or drink in the pool and if you want to swim lanes the. make sure your planting a swimming cap.

We walked from the city centre which took around 30 minutes, we then showed our ticket and we then had access to the spa the full day. I would recommend getting a room to get changed as this isn’t much of an extra cost. Drinks and food inside are not overly expensive however it can be difficult to find a bed so I would recommend going early.
