Gáspár V.

Széchenyi Spa Full-Day Tour + bonus

Super easy & straight forward if you follow the steps: go to cashier 3, “Hungarian Koncert” as you present the tickets. We got the cabin which was great! I had read the review so packed the following: - swimming gear - flip flops - towels - sunscreen - water (you can refill it everywhere) Swimming cap only needed in the big pool with lanes so didn’t bother. Easiest way to access is with the Metro - my 12 year old was able to easily navigate it! It is a few min walk from the entrance to the baths! There is a reasonably priced cafe. If you want to get some loungers, go early! We arrived at 11 mid august so busy day but no loungers/ chairs. It is a really fun experience! Beautiful architecture, lots of different temperatures baths, super clean! Bonus: everyone we met there spoke English - not to be taken for granted in Budapest!

Széchenyi Spa Full-Day Tour + bonus

We had a lovely afternoon just chilling. The sauna was really hot but the steam room was just right. After flying and travelling on Friday afternoon and an early museum start on Saturday morning this was just the thing. Relax in warm waters and even have a drink if you like. I could have easily gone to sleep. We didn't book any treatments but they looked value for money.

Széchenyi Spa Full-Day Tour + bonus

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

It was an enjoyable experience, there are many in-door pools of varying sizes to relax in. There are sauna's to detox the body an clean your skin, lovely architecture, food and drink is available at additional cost. The exterior pools are lovely and warm and relaxing with massaging jet streams of water and jacuzzi bubble functions. Great to experience days after sightseeing and just before returning home.

Sparty - The Ultimate Late-Night Spa Party Ticket

The beautiful surroundings and the fun atmosphere is let down by the men who were staring at and groping girls and furthermore the security guards who shrugged their shoulders when one girl complained about being groped. I would recommend anyone going to be careful attending these events and always go in a group.

Molnár D.

Széchenyi Spa Full-Day Tour + bonus

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.
