We booked a pass that included a locker, and we went there at 8 a.m. on a Thursday. We got in very quickly—there was no line. There are small changing rooms with large lockers to store your belongings. In the morning, we started with the indoor pools. Very few people in some of the pools—we were alone. There are lockers next to each pool to put your phone, towels, etc. There are many pools with different temperatures. Very pleasant. Around 10 a.m., we went to the outdoor pools... really nice... there were a few more people, but it was fine. There were plenty of lounge chairs... we stayed until noon. Great experience.

The Széchenyi Thermal Baths are absolutely amazing; the building is beautiful and features incredible historic architecture that will leave you speechless, especially the outdoor pools. Plus, the whole experience went smoothly thanks to Headout; we got our tickets through them and skipped the long line at the ticket office, which was a huge relief since we could head straight in to relax. Top-notch organization and a must-visit if you’re in Budapest

The spa is pretty amazing. There are at least a dozen pools of various temperatures, plus saunas of different intensities. There are hours of things to try out and lots of space to relax. You get a little wristband when you enter and this gives you access to the lockers, which work great. The online ticketing worked perfectly. Note! Bring towels and flip-flops, or you have to buy them there.

It was a wonderful experience. We really enjoyed our time at the Széchenyi Thermal Baths, and the weather was great, so we were able to explore all the different areas. A nighttime stroll along the Danube is definitely worth it—seeing the whole city lit up is breathtaking. I’ll definitely recommend it to my friends.

It was all very easy and straightforward. We didn't have to wait in line since we'd bought our tickets in advance. The staff at the spa were very helpful, and there were tons of pools—cold, hot, and warm... it's definitely worth a visit. You'll have a great time and enjoy yourself like a kid.

An exciting evening boat ride with all the illuminated architecture in the background. The hot springs had incredibly hot water.... despite the bad weather, it was absolutely delightful to take a dip, even outdoors. A wonderful experience—I highly recommend it to everyone.

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

The facility offers various types of packages, each with a specific entrance that may not be immediately obvious, but the staff are happy to provide directions. The outdoor area is the largest and most spacious, featuring three pools, and there are lounge chairs along the edges that are available to guests if you’re lucky enough to find them free. Inside, we found three areas with pools and saunas that were closed for maintenance. There is some moisture on the ceilings of a few rooms, but this is acceptable given the nature of the facility. Staff regularly come by with mops to remove any water residue on the floor. Since the space is very large, we had no trouble finding a spot in the various pools and saunas, which are ultimately quite similar to one another. The cruise, which departs at 8:30 PM to take advantage of both sunlight and the effect of the illuminated buildings after sunset, allows you to take photos with different atmospheres. The boat was spacious and well-organized; the open-air area on the upper deck is perhaps a bit small and doesn’t offer space for a large number of people. The audio guide is accessible via a phone app; it may not start automatically at the various points of interest even with GPS enabled, but the information provided is still comprehensive.

When we bought the tickets online, we just went to the ticket counter, showed our code, and they gave us wristbands that let us into the park and access our lockers. Once inside, we explored the place. The outdoor lap pool was under repair, so I couldn’t use it, but I was able to enjoy the others. I went during the hot season and enjoyed it even though it was a bit stuffy, but I imagine it’s more pleasant in the winter. I left feeling really relaxed, to be honest, because there’s a pool with very cold water and another area where you can apply ice and get treatments.
