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.

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.

Was beautiful but a lot of renovation Cafe queues were slow Should not force buying of flip flops for sustainable purposes or at least have 2nd hand ones

Do Budapest’s City Park classics in one go, then keep extra budget for food and taxis with a better-value bundle.

Vajdahunyad Castle Museum: Self-paced entry to the castle and Agricultural Museum, with access to interior halls, courtyards, and the Gatehouse Tower lookout.

Széchenyi Spa: Full-day entry with access to saunas and steam rooms, plus a locker; select an option with a private cabin and fast-track entry.

Visit both on the same day or split across days—your tickets stay valid as per the option selected.

Soak across Széchenyi’s outdoor pools, then move indoors for the warmer thermal rooms and saunas.
