Pro tips to help you make a pick

Gellert Baths tickets offer the choice between a locker or a private cabin for storing your belongings. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, the locker access ticket is your best pick. However, if you prefer privacy or plan to store larger items, go for the private cabin option for more comfort.

The combo tickets, pairing a visit to Gellert Baths with a Budapest River cruise or a Hungarian Parliament tour, are ideal for a mix of relaxation and sightseeing. While saving you money compared to booking each experience separately, these tickets let you spread out your activities over two days – unwind fully at the baths one day and enjoy the sights of Budapest on another.

When booking the Gellert Bath and Budapest River Cruise combo, choose a day cruise for stunning views of Budapest in natural light or an evening cruise to see the city beautifully illuminated from the Danube.

Towels and slippers aren't included in your Gellert Baths ticket, so it's best to bring your own to avoid additional rental fees. You'll also need a swimming cap if you plan to use the main swimming pool (though it's not required in the thermal pools).

If you have any medical conditions, please consult your doctor before visiting the bath. Please note that entry to Gellert Baths is not allowed in case of fever, vomiting, diarrhea, infectious skin, or respiratory diseases. Massages are not available for pregnant guests.

I loved the thermal baths, a 10 out of 10. The cruise was also very nice, but the translator was speaking too fast, so I couldn't really follow what was being explained. Thank you

We had a really great experience! Everything was wonderful, and we really enjoyed our time. The experience was definitely worth it, and we would happily recommend it to other travelers. Everything went smoothly, and we left with lovely memories. Thank you for such a great experience! Only downside is open desk didn't had any overhang, right before our cruise started we got caught in the rain and couldn't enjoy open desk properly, unfortunately. But everything else was perfect, thank you!

A timeless escape, a true moment of well-being! ✨ We had a wonderful time at the Budapest thermal baths, an experience we recommend without hesitation to anyone looking to treat themselves to a truly relaxing break. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and very professional, which immediately made the visit enjoyable. The baths are clean, well-maintained, and meticulously kept right down to the outdoor spaces, especially the greenery, which adds immensely to the charm and beauty of the venue. The signage is also clear and well thought-out, making it easy to find your way around and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. Between the stunning setting, the soothing atmosphere, and the quality of the welcome, we felt like we treated ourselves to a true timeless escape far from the daily grind. It's so much more than a simple visit: it's a wellness experience that will remain a fond memory. A must-do when visiting Budapest! We leave relaxed, delighted, and eager to repeat the experience 💙

Very easy to buy the tickets and had immediate confirmation from HEADOUT. The experience at Lukács Baths was good. Not the Instagram kind but ok to experience the Baths. Cabins to change were a good idea. They were simple and clean.
