Europe’s largest thermal spa complex, with its huge, steaming outdoor pools, numerous indoor pools of varying temperatures, saunas, and hot tubs. This is the iconic image of Budapest’s thermal baths. Beyond relaxation, Budapest’s thermal waters are traditionally renowned for relieving joint pain, promoting muscle recovery, and offering a truly relaxing experience. A visit to Budapest’s thermal baths is much more than a spa session: it’s an immersion in a centuries-old tradition, where you move from a hot pool to a cold one, from a sauna to a steam bath—it’s truly exceptional. It’s an unmissable experience for discovering the Hungarian way of life. Go for it—preferably in the morning—it’s spectacular! I’m definitely going back; plus, it’s peaceful and everyone is very considerate...

The Széchenyi Spa is an amazing spa full of hot pools and different types. 😊 I am a solo male 66yrsold global traveller and loved it and will go back when I am in Budapest again. I love when I experience a relaxing healing place like this to unwind after jet planes and airports to soothe my soul. 🙏 I spent most of the day there, and the price was really good for the experience. The environment has an ancient Roman feel about then. There were many people there but I never felt crowded . A must do if you come to Budapest. 😊 😊

We absolutely loved the spa. It’s a beautiful and very pleasant place. It’s a real treat to be able to enjoy the hot springs in a historic building. There are indoor and outdoor pools with water at different temperatures. We were also able to eat there. There are lockers where you can store your belongings while changing, as well as outdoor lockers where you can leave your things without worrying about them.

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

The day was fantastic. The weather and the experience outdid themselves. The baths were so relaxed and clean. I had a private cabin and found this great to be able to store my things safely and change at my own leisure. I spent 5 hours there in total 9 am start, I also had lunch in the restaurant and the beef stew was delicious. I highly be recommend this experience well done.

A very beautiful site—the thermal baths are magnificent—the outdoor pools are especially enjoyable when it's hot Quick and easy admission There isn't enough sun loungers and umbrellas for everyone; there should be a system where each private cabin is assigned one sun lounger

Lovely experience with the Danube boat tour and the Szechenyi spa bath! Booking together was easy and discounted. The private cabin was great too because I had luggage and arrived there before my hotel check in time
