I took a cruise on the Danube and also visited the Széchenyi Thermal Baths. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it. The cruise was very pleasant and a lovely way to see Budapest from the water, and the thermal baths were just what we needed during the heat wave in Budapest. The indoor circuit is really long, and we loved the cold-water pools.

Enjoy access to Széchenyi Thermal Baths with entry to over 15 indoor and outdoor pools, soothing steam rooms, and saunas.

Upgrade your experience with optional fast-track entry in the morning or afternoon, saving time at the entrance during peak hours.

Select a locker for secure personal storage or go for a private cabin with a changing space—ideal for added comfort and privacy.

Unwind at Hungary’s largest and most iconic thermal spa, admiring its grand Neo-Baroque architecture and soaking up the goodness of thermal waters.

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

Sure 😊 I'll give you a shorter, more natural version, as if you wrote it yourselves after your visit: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An experience well worth it Highly recommended if you’re in Budapest. The Széchenyi Baths are impressive and let you enjoy a typical thermal experience in the city. Plus, with the weather being so hot these days, it was a great way to spend the morning and relax. It’s true that the facilities are a bit run-down and that some areas could use a fresh coat of paint and a little more maintenance. They must have been truly spectacular in their heyday. Even so, we really enjoyed the experience and think it’s worth checking out. If you’d like, I can also make it a bit more personal and add a touch of humor, so it reads even more like a personal review.

Really glad we booked to come here, the bath experience was great. It was quite busy and certain pools we avoided because there were some quite loud groups which disturbed the relaxation element. You could buy food and drink whilst in there which again didn't feel too expensive. I booked tickets a few months ahead of time to avoid missing out but then was disappointed to see the tickets listed at a significantly cheaper rate on the day we attended. I wouldn't have minded if they were just on sale but the price shown pre-sale was still much less than I had purchased our tickets at which felt quite unfair. All in all, I would come back but I'd be a bit more savy about where I bought my tickets and for how much.

As soon as we arrived at the front desk to pick up our wristbands, we were greeted with a smile. We walked past the (gorgeous) gift shop, and a young man showed us how to find our cab and pointed us in the right direction. It was the best thing ever. We left everything there—shoes, purse, clothes—and went to enjoy the pool!! I loved the central circle with the current! And the jets coming out of the floor?! A wonderful massage. We loved it
