Understanding Thermal Baths in Szechenyi Baths

Thermal Bath

Thermal Bath

There are 18 pools to be enjoyed at the Szechenyi Thermal Baths, which are open every single day throughout the year; even on bank holidays and public holidays!

Even if you're not planning to stay long in Budapest, a visit to the Szechenyi Baths is still an absolute must. While at the Thermal Bath, you can enjoy frolicking in the whirlpools, indulge in an underwater massage and soak your body in the springs of the many pools throughout the complex.

Thermal Spa

Thermal Spa

The Thermal Spa part of the Szechenyi Baths is where you can enjoy a plethora of luxurious spa treatments and services.

There are so many incredible treatments, medical services and luxury packages to enjoy at the spa at Szechenyi.

Opt for a swim in one of the many pools, then head to the sauna or steam rooms to really revitalise your skin. Once you've finished that, luxuriate in a mud treatment or medical massage and finish off with a spot of Aquafit.

One of the incredible benefits and features of the Szechenyi Baths is that you can obtain plenty of treatments that are of specific medical prescriptions only. While there are still so many spa activities to enjoy even without medical necessity, it's nice to know that you can head to the spa at Szechenyi if you require the likes of a carbon dioxide bath or a specific medical massage.

Cabins

Cabins

The cabins at the Szechenyi Baths are small changing rooms that are combined with storage facilities. The price of these are slightly more expensive than the standard locker prices but it means that you have a place to get changed, as well as to store your belongings in a safe and secure place.

While it's certainly not a necessity to have your own cabin while visiting Szechenyi Baths, it does mean that you're entitled to a little bit more privacy than if you were to just use the standard male/female changing rooms.

Parties

Parties

There are dozens of parties that are housed at the Szechenyi Baths throughout the year, including almost-weekly parties throughout the summer months, as well as Christmas and New Year parties too.

When purchasing tickets to the bath parties, it's important to note that the price of your ticket will include your entrance to the party which lasts from around 10.30pm until 3am. It will also include the price of your locker storage throughout the evening, so you can rest-assured that your belongings will be safe.

The bath party season runs from the beginning of February, until the end of September, with most events occurring on a Saturday night, nearly every week.

There is also the pre-New Year's Eve party to enjoy at the Szechenyi Baths which is held every year on the 30th December.

Tickets for parties at Szechenyi often sell out very quickly, so it's imperative to reserve your ticket as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Plan Your Szechenyi Thermal Baths Time/visit

When it comes to planning a visit to the Szechenyi Baths, it can be quite overwhelming at first as you're sure to want to fit as much as possible into your time there.

There are a few things to keep in mind when planning your visit, including how long you should stay, what you should wear and whether the thermal bath or spa is better.

How much time to spend there

How much time you wish to spend at the Szechenyi Baths really depends on your own personal preference; there isn't really one set period of time.

Many locals may choose to visit the baths for just 15 minutes on a morning before they head into work, but if you want to truly make the most out of your stay then a good few hours is probably advisable.

The length of time you should spend there also depends on what you plan to do at the Szechenyi Baths. For example, if you just want to explore the range of pools there then you won't require as much time as if you were to indulge in a few spa treatments, for example.

Clothes to Wear, rent towels etc.

Many first-time visitors to the baths have no idea of the correct thing to wear when swimming and visiting the spa at the Szechenyi Baths.

The dress code is relatively simple, in that there is to be no nudity at any time. However, if the most important and private parts of your body are always covered, then your choice of swimwear is entirely up to you.

Women are advised to wear bikinis or full piece swimsuits that suitably cover their private areas and may also wear shorts and a top if they wish to.

Men are also required to the most basic standard of swimwear, including the likes of Speedos, as long as everything important is covered appropriately.

Swimming caps are compulsory in the main swimming pool but are not required in any of the other 17 pools.

Furthermore, these dress code standards also apply to children over the age of 14 (as children under the age of 14 are not permitted in the Szechenyi Baths).

It's also advised that you should wear appropriate hats and sun cream on hot days throughout the summer

Choose Thermal Bath vs Spa

If you're planning to visit the Szechenyi Baths for a good few hours, then it's a good idea to factor in both the thermal bath and spa.

The thermal baths are the more relaxed areas of the Baths, where you can enjoy the hot thermal water without feeling too much pressure to just sit and relax; you can make the experience your own.

However, if you're looking for a more dedicated relaxation experience whereby you can enjoy a vast range of spa experiences then the Szechenyi Baths Spa will be better suited to you.

The Spa includes an offering of medical services, thorough treatments and plenty of in-depth experiences that will relax, rejuvenate and reinvigorate you.

Of course, the main difference between the Szechenyi Baths and its Spa, is the price. You can expect to pay more if you want to use the spa services such as indulging in a thermal massage, pedicure or specific medical treatments.

Best times to go

It goes without saying that weekends at the Szechenyi Baths will be much busier than during the week as both locals and tourists descend upon them.

If you're looking to visit when it's much less crowded and not filled with tourists, then early morning (between 6am and 8am) is the best time to go.

The summer months (June to September) are also the busiest times of year for the Szechenyi Baths so it may be best to avoid visiting during these months if you want a less crowded experience.

Private Cabin or lockers?

It's entirely dependent on your personal preferences as to whether private cabins or lockers are the best option.

Lockers are the cheaper option when visiting the Szechenyi Baths, but private cabins offer more privacy as you'll also be equipped with your own personal changing space.
