Nice experience, definitely the spa should be renovated and beautified a bit.... And better and more functional hair dryers.

We went on a Tuesday afternoon in December and the fast track is NOT necessary. A must visit if you go to Budapest! It is a fantastic experience.

Reservations give you access to the spa from a reserved "fast track" entrance. We arrived at 10:30 a.m. on a Monday and there was no one in line. The entrance was from 7 to 11 a.m. With this ticket you have a booth where you can change that locks with an electronic wristband so you can leave your belongings inside. The spa is a maze even just to find the showers to wash with soap 😅 the facility is huge but a bit old, still worth visiting for the uniqueness. Recommended experience!

We loved how relaxed we were feeling at the end of the experience! The outside pools were awesome! It was very convenient having our own cabin! We weren't really satisfied with the inside pools and amenities! Just to note that there were only 2 hairdriers available for hundreds of people and didn't really blow any air!

Quick and convenient procedure with the tickets in QR. The hot springs are spectacular and by mid-afternoon on Sunday they were not so crowded. With 2 hours for us it was enough. The cabins are ideal to be able to leave all your things and change quietly. Then there are individual showers and hairdryers so you can leave as good as new.

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).
