It's a must-see in Budapest, but frankly the price is outrageous, the site needs a good renovation and there should be more regulation of the number of people on site, because as it is, you're stepping on yourself. What a shame!

Wow what an experience.. beautiful buildings and setting. Then the thermal baths.. the outside bath was relaxing and peaceful. The inside baths were also nice. I liked the different temperatures and the sauna. Felt fresh and revitalised at the end.

Although a little far from our Novotel hotel opposite Parliament, we really enjoyed the place, with its imposing baths. But the best of all remains the other Gellért baths, where you'll find yourself in a 1930s setting not to be missed during your stay.

The temperature of the water was disappointing at 29degrees. It was a lot hotter on my previous visit. I would not come again. Only stayed over 1 hour.

Tickets cost less with Headout. On the other hand, when it comes to entry with lockers, there really aren't any cabins compared with the Gellért thermal baths, where a few (public) ones are available. So you have to change in plain sight, or in the toilets. Men and women are supposed to be separated, but this isn't always the case... The water smelled of chemicals and the outside bath, although very nice, was quite dirty at the bottom. On the other hand, the thermal baths are very large and diversified, so we had a good time in spite of everything. The outdoor bath is a real highlight!

Your experience

Feel the Stress Leave Your Body at Széchenyi Spa

With 15 indoor pools and 3 open-air bathing facilities, the Széchenyi Spa is considered the largest in all of Europe. It is most known for its massive outdoor thermal pool that has a running temperature of 40°C, perfect to keep you warm even on the coldest winter days! Just picture floating in a pool of healing water.

The Széchenyi Spa feeds on the city’s extended thermal spring network running below the earth. This hidden gem has always pulled in settlers and cultures throughout history, starting with the Roman Empire, who developed their own bathing culture in the location of today’s Budapest during the 1st to the 5th century. Get skip-the-line entry to this healing spa and enjoy the ultimate rejuvenating experience!

Visit Pálinka Museum

Visit a hidden gem in the heart of the city to sample the famous Hungarian Palinkas. Different from whiskey or vodka, palinka is made exclusively from different types of fruits and has a pleasant aromatic smell. Learn all about the history of the delicious beverage as you enjoy a guided tour of the Pálinka Museum and a one-of-a-kind interactive exhibition. Then, relish in the taste of one of the best samples of palinka (spirits; non-alcoholic drinks are also available).
