Budapest Bath Tickets Guide

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.

Recommended Experiences 

Spend a whole day relaxing at the famous Budapest Baths, Széchenyi Spa. Enjoy skip-the-line access and get direct entry into the spa. You can choose between a private cabin or a locker for your experience. 
Indulge in a 45 minute VIP massage and soak in the medicinal natural hot springs at Széchenyi’s Spa. With this experience, enjoy a private cabin, skip-the-line entry, and a free guided tour of Hungary’s Pálinka Museum. 
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. These maths were made partly indoors (and therefore covered) because Gellért Hill gets quiet cold at night; however, they keep some open-air pools too (even today). The Gellért Baths' G-Classic open-Air Bath is known for its fantastic scenic view overlooking Gellért Hill, Gellért Square, and the Danube River. Depending on the experience you opt for, you'll enjoy various benefits such as locker access, VIP treatment, massages, locker access, private cabins and more.

Thermal Baths

Budapest was once known as "the queen of water", which makes thermal springs a great surprise. The heat coming from the ground under Budapest helps supply hot water that flows into all of Budapest's unique spas. Budapest's mineral water is used to treat many common ailments, health conditions, including digestive problems and skin diseases.

Sauna

Specially designed saunas have been created for recreation and relaxation. They are created to cater to the growing need, providing customers with an ideal environment to get rid of daily stress while receiving health benefits at the same time. 

Steam Baths

Steam baths in Budapest are beautiful, mystical, and very relaxing. They have the perfect mixture of the quaintness of a new but also with an old-world experience.  Their steam baths make you sweat so you can cleanse your body of all those germs and bacteria on your skin, but it goes even deeper than that though because it helps ease the pain with its anti-inflammatory properties, which is great if you're having muscle aches or headaches.

Swimming Pools

Swimming is healthy for the heart and soul and swimming pools in Budapest are particularly therapeutic due to their historical significance. Most Swimming pools in Budapest were built around 100 years ago during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and hence they have become very popular tourist attractions due to their regal history and architectural beauty.

Széchenyi Bath

This massive spa complex contains 12 thermal pools inside a neo-baroque building with ornate staircases, colonnades, roof terraces, halls with columns decorated with stucco ornaments. The thermal baths were built by the architect Alajos Hauszmann between 1902 and 1904 during Hungary’s turn-of-the-century period of urban renewal.

Gellért Baths

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. The thermal baths were built by the architect Ferenc Medgyaszay during Hungary’s turn-of-the-century period of urban renewal. 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. The Turkish-style bath complex has three separate pools (two hot and one cold), which are located alongside each other to allow for easy transition between them. Each pool is uniquely decorated with stone columns, arches, and colorful ceramic tiles. 
Here are the other things to do in Budapest to help you plan an itinerary: 

Danube Cruises

These cruises are a one-of-a-kind experience that combines the history of Hungary with the stunning scenery along the river bank. Some of the sights you will see include the statue of Szent Gellért, Danube Promenade, the Hungarian Parliament Building, and the Buda Castle. Book Danube Cruises

Budapest Parliament

The Budapest Parliament is an important and visually striking part of Budapest's architecture. It was built between 1885 and 1904 in Gothic revival style, partly to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the Magyar expedition to the Carpathian Basin.
