Full description
Book your full-day ticket to the Széchenyi Bath in advance and take advantage of complimentary tasting of Hungary's famous spirit "pálinka" on an optional guided tour inside the Pálinka Museum. The Széchenyi Bath is the largest thermal spring bath complex not only in Budapest but in Europe as well. It was built in 1913 in a Neo-baroque style. At the time it opened its baths were private, having separate steam baths for men and women, as well as different public baths for men and women. In 1927, the spa complex was expanded and today it comprises 3 outdoor and 15 indoor pools. After its expansion, the thermal artesian wasn’t adequate to supply the spa, so a new well was drilled. The second thermal spring dates from 1938. Towels and swimsuits are available for purchase only, no rental. Please note that swimsuits that cover the entire body are not permitted. During your visit, blow off some steam at the pools of Széchenyi Spa (built-in 1913.), which is Europe’s largest healing bath with its 15 indoor, and 3 grand outdoor pools. Pools are of varying temperatures, between 18 to 38 °C (64 to 100 °F). The complex covering 6220 square meters (67000 sq ft) also includes saunas and a steam bath. Afterward, discover a hidden gem in the city center to taste some Hungarian pálinka (spirits; non-alcoholic drinks are also available). Differently from whiskey or vodka, pálinka is made exclusively from different sorts of fruits and has an aromatic smell. Inside the Pálinka Museum's interactive exhibits, you will learn about its birth, tradition, and history. That’s why Hungary's Pálinka Act of Parliament exists which regulates and protects the production and quality of palinka.

Great few hours at the baths, we only used the outside baths but they were lovely ond warm on a cold November morning. We booked cabins, these were very easy to use and handy to leave your clothes and bags in. A bit small but very clean. We went on a Sunday morning about 10am by 11.30 it was very busy so would recommend going early.

We really enjoyed the bath experience. It was unbelievable how many there were, every corner turned there was a different bath at various different temperatures. It was very relaxing and would definitely recommend as a must do activity when in Budapest.

Unique tour, historic place, it wasn't very crowded so we could enjoy it a lot. Easy access. However, the service at the Thermal Baths is not the best... staff have no patience with visitors, they don't speak English, it's a struggle to get a towel... I had to buy one. Take a towel from your hotel! I don't think they care much about welcoming tourists.
