Our visit to Gellért Thermal Baths was the ultimate way to relax in Budapest. The highlight for both of us was definitely the 40°C thermal pool! We loved the contrast of dipping into the cold plunge pool right after—it was exhilarating and left us feeling amazing. Having a private cabin made everything easy and stress-free, giving us space to change and store our things comfortably. Only one steam room was working, so was a little crowded at times. Also, the wave pool is going to be repaired, so wasn't working. But did not meter from how amazing the spa is. The facilities were beautifully kept, with a serene atmosphere throughout. While food and drink prices were a little steep, it didn’t take away from how special the overall experience was. Highly recommend booking ahead through Headout—smooth and reliable. A five-star spa day!

Very good but not great. The baths are considered the most luxurious, but I think you have to understand by the: historical. The place is beautiful but needs major renovation. If you've forgotten your equipment, it's possible to buy it all on site. The cabins are very practical for leaving personal belongings. The pools are top-notch, especially the 40-degree pool. Beware, this is a mixed area. The outdoor pool was crowded. Good experience, but not exceptional. I'd recommend it!

Had a great day at the Spa. The large outdoor pool is being repaired but that didn't spoil things for us. Fruitbowl and drinks in the solarium upstairs (included in the price) was lovely and relaxing. Access via the VIP entrance ( which we eventually found at the side of the building) was easy. Most staff friendly and helpful with one exception. All in all well worth the money.

🇬🇧 Stepping into Széchenyi Thermal Bath feels like entering a royal dream — where history whispers through steam, and every drop of water carries centuries of healing. From the stunning neo-baroque architecture to the soul-soothing waters, it’s not just a bath… it’s an experience, a memory, a piece of Budapest’s heart. A place where time slows, bodies relax, and love lingers in the mist. 🇭🇺 Széchenyi fürdő nem csak víz — ez Budapest lelke, gőzbe rejtett történelem és nyugalom.

We reserved the activity in advance by booking from here. We got a confirmation immediately and it was just so exciting to know we were going to try this amazing Széchenyi spa.
  • Budapest is widely known as the ‘spa city’ since it is home to about 123 natural hot springs. This drew in the Romans who used them for relaxation and medicinal purposes during the first century AD.  Today, the city boasts more than a dozen thermal spas which draw in millions of visitors each year. Here is a guide to buying Budapest bath tickets, the best time to visit, what to expect, and more. 
  • Budapest Baths are available at various spas. Széchenyi Baths and Gellért Baths are the two most popular spas in the city. They offer benefits such as private bath areas, full-day baths, skip-the-line entry, locker access, and combo experiences that allow you to get the best experience. 
    The Széchenyi Baths (Szecska: Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő) is the largest and one of the most famous baths in Hungary. It has 27 pools and more than 20,000 customers visit every day. The Szechenyi Bath has three outdoor pools, one indoor children's pool, two thermal pools with whirlpools, eleven thermal bathtubs (two for cardiovascular diseases), twelve pools for water-massage (two are covered by roofs), and ten steam baths (four saunas). Depending on the Széchenyi Bath tickets you opt for, you can expect a variety of benefits such as skip-the-line access, private cabins, locker facilities, massages, and more.

    The Gellért Thermal Baths are not just a place where people bathe in thermal water and relax – but also a museum with centuries of history and tradition behind it.

    The Gellért Bath and Spa is a famous 4-star hotel in Budapest that has two thermal baths (one indoor and one outdoor) as well as an additional pool that serves as the swimming pool during the summer. The spa operated continuously for over 100 years until its renovation was completed in 2013. 

    Lukacs Baths

    The Lukacs Bath is a large and beautiful bath complex located in Budapest's 14th district on the Buda side of the city.

Like most thermal baths in Budapest, it offers both indoor and outdoor pools, as well as pools with various temperatures that are fed by natural springs.

    Rudas Baths

    The Rudas Baths are among Budapest's oldest thermal baths, first established by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1550.
