The visit to the hot springs was totally worth it. We arrived around noon; there were people there, but it wasn't too crowded, so we were able to really enjoy all the pools, both indoor and outdoor. We had access to lockers, and everything worked out great. I'd definitely go back! As for the Danube tour, it was really nice, but it was definitely very crowded, and I think the people who really get the most out of it are the ones by the window. It was still really nice, though; I just think you get more out of it on the open-air boats. A lovely experience

Entry was super easy with the tickets on our phones. The site is beautiful and the water is wonderfully warm. However, it was very crowded. Just getting a locker is enough. Bring sunscreen. We only put it on our faces and got badly sunburned in April. An absolute must-do. The fact that children under 14 aren’t allowed on the premises is a very good thing; it lets you enjoy yourself more peacefully.

It was such an amazing experience in these thermal baths. The building from outside as from inside is absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I have never seen so many saunas and thermal baths all together. It would also nice to see that you can play chess in the outside pools and also have food or a drink.

We spent an afternoon there—it was really, really nice. The big outdoor pool was closed, but with the two outdoor pools and everything inside, it was more than enough. The building is spectacular. They recommend going in the morning, but we had a wonderful time in the afternoon.

The Széchenyi Baths in Budapest are an experience you absolutely must have at least once. The place is stunning, with impressive architecture and outdoor thermal pools that are amazing, especially in winter. The atmosphere is top-notch: you can relax in the warm waters while watching people play chess or simply enjoying the moment. It’s the perfect way to unwind for a couple of hours. That said, it’s important to note: it’s usually pretty crowded and can feel a bit overcrowded at times, especially if you go during peak hours. Even so, there are plenty of pools and space to move around. Overall, it’s a highly recommended experience: it’s not the quietest place in the world, but it is one of the most iconic and special spots in Budapest. If you can, go early or at sunset to enjoy it to the fullest.

“I had an amazing time at both Sparty and Széchenyi Baths. Széchenyi Baths were absolutely beautiful, with stunning architecture, relaxing thermal pools, and a really unique atmosphere that made the whole experience feel special. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy one of Budapest’s most famous attractions. Sparty was a completely different vibe, but just as unforgettable — energetic, fun, and unlike anything I’ve experienced before. The music, lights, and overall atmosphere were incredible, and it was such a fun way to enjoy the baths at night. I really enjoyed both experiences and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Budapest, whether you’re looking to relax, have fun, or both.

    It was great—these are two must-do experiences when visiting Budapest. I recommend going to the spa in the morning because it's less crowded, and the night cruise was incredible.
