An incredible experience from start to finish. The boat tour was simply spectacular: a very pleasant ride with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere that invites you to completely unwind. The staff was very attentive and professional at all times, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of. The spa was the perfect complement. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and had a very peaceful atmosphere. The water circuits and relaxation areas help you completely disconnect from daily stress. Without a doubt, a perfect combination of adventure and wellness. I recommend this experience 100%. Ideal for enjoying as a couple, with friends, or even as a personal treat. I would do it again without hesitation!

We were able to enter very quickly with no waiting time; they immediately gave us a personal wristband linked to the QR code on our ticket. The wristband allows you to assign any locker to securely store your personal belongings. You can only open that locker by holding the wristband up to the magnetic lock. Beautiful, clean, and numerous thermal baths offering a variety of wellness experiences in pools at various temperatures, saunas at different temperatures, and even a Turkish bath. A wonderful day that will remain an unforgettable memory. Thank you, Budapest!

Both experiences were amazing. The spa was very relaxing, especially when you can enjoy both cold and hot pools, as well as saunas. We went on a sunny day and had a great time both outside and inside—you really have to make the most of it. I recommend spending at least four hours to visit all the facilities. As for the cruise, it was much more crowded and there were a lot of children. We took the 7:30 p.m. tour. For this simple reason, I’d recommend going later—around 9:00 p.m. would be great—so there are fewer people and fewer children. The views are spectacular.

Our day was very smooth and it was very stress-free because Headout it's so independent and had every information that you needed in their site. So it made our day even better because we've planned it ahead. We just went there showed our ticket and we entered the facilities. Simple as that. The baths were amazing very relaxing and we enjoyed our day. I will definitely recommend booking through Headout is very easy and also cheaper than other sites. I always book everything from Headout because as I said previously, it has all the information that you need and it's so simple.

I visited the thermal baths in Budapest today and it was such an amazing experience! The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, with beautiful architecture and a variety of pools to choose from, each with different temperatures. The warm thermal water was perfect for unwinding and truly helped me feel refreshed. Everything was well organized and clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Whether you want to relax, enjoy the spa, or just experience something unique, this is definitely a must-do in Budapest. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

We really liked everything, starting from the location - it’s very convenient to reach the thermal baths by metro - and ending with the wide choice of pools and attractions. You can easily spend the whole day here: there are several saunas and both indoor and outdoor pools. We tried everything and were very satisfied. The showers and changing rooms are very clean, and there is no problem finding a free locker. The interior is very beautiful and has a vintage atmosphere. The biggest impression on us was made by the outdoor pools, where you can have a really fun time.

    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.

    Admin was very slick. Great to arrive when there were no queues. One of the outdoor pools was closed so that put pressure on the remaining one but it was still fun. Bit expensive in comparison to other trips we did in Budapest

    The cabins were clean and the staff was very welcoming. Everything was very nice. It was particularly easy to find your way around the facilities and of course the architecture is beautiful. Worth a visit.
