I liked the fact there was a cafe for food and drink upstairs too Only thing I wish I knew was you need to bring your own towel or buy one there but they weren’t too expensive”

Budapest Széchenyi Thermal Spa Ticket

3.Budapest Széchenyi Thermal Spa Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,178 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $59

Spend about four hours at Budapest’s Széchenyi Baths, using 18 thermal pools, saunas, steam rooms, and a private changing cabin. The mobile ticket offers one-time entry, but you must bring proper flip flops, a towel, and a swimsuit. Massage and Pálinka Museum options require careful checking.

“Lovely morning spent here. The pool was lovely and although there were lots of people it didn’t seem crowded. Bring a towel or even better a robe as it was cold when you got out. Flip flops a must. There are 3 entrances so please look for the one that says redeem online tickets. We got caught out and stood in 2 separate queues before we got the right one. I would say the Hungarians are not the most helpful not rude but just not helpful. I struggled with the communication aspects and I’m sorry to say relied on google translate. Definitely worth the effort”

“Small room with 4 tubs & 2 beer taps. Pretzels also provided. There is no door so other other spa guests kept coming in to look around. Pillow would have been nice. The larger spa experience was a bit overwhelming- no explanation or expectations provided. Very busy with warm indoor pools completely full. No exactly the cleanest either- lots of things floating in the water. The outdoor pool was wonderful! Full but still able to find a place to sit/stand. I also had a 45 minute massage which was really only 30 min and more of a body rub vs massage- I don't recommend. Take your own flip flops &…”

The lights were beautiful, but we were disappointed that the boat did not pass the Parliament building while it was lit up as that is the most beautiful of the buildings. The music was wonderful!”
