The ambiance is wonderful, the pools exude the atmosphere of yesteryear while being clean and super neat. The pools are beautiful and especially the outdoor pool is the must see once it is dark. In December 2024 around 1800, you already have a beautiful view of the beautifully lit bridge.

The indoor pools were very warm but one of the outdoor pools did not work, few signs and cold in the changing area, few hairdryers.

I would highly recommend HeadOut. HeadOut has tickets at much lower price than other vendors for the same experience. They had tickets where other vendors said online that the date and times we wanted were not available. HeadOut's online ticketing is easy and efficient. Good user interface and good confirmation email communications. Gellert Baths were beautiful. I read on some reviews that Gellert Baths layout was confusing and signage was poor. I did not find that to be the case at all. The art newveau tiles are gorgeous and the baths have steam rooms, saunas (dry heat), and massages. Everything for a complete spa day. Also, they have lockers, private cabins, and private changing rooms; something for each budget level. In addition, you can buy bathing suits, flip flops, and towels there if you don't have them with you. I would highly recomment Gellert Baths and HeadOut.

Beautiful experience.Ancient but well-maintained hot springs. We would have preferred the thermal water to come out of the original ancient but fascinating mouths.

There's nothing to compare with a sunny winter day sat in the hot outdoor pool at Gellert. It's such a wonderful thing to be able to do :-)

Your Experience

Plan a spa day at the prestigious Gellert Thermal Baths, one of the most prestigious spas in Budapest and the rest of Europe since 1918. Often referred to as the ‘Palace of Baths’, for centuries these thermal waters were used for relaxation and treatment purposes. Soak up the exquisite art-nouveau architecture that is made up of turquoise and marine-green Zsolnay mosaics and ceramics, neo-classical cherub statues, and botanical friezes.

With a number of different pools including thermal pools, swimming pools, and an outdoor thermal bath – Gellert is truly a place to indulge all your senses. Many of the pools have underwater jets for aqua massage therapy and are filled with natural spring water. Check out the different massages available – many are quick and refreshing – and spend some time in the sauna.
