Enjoy the hot springs in Szechenyi,
A drink at Palanca!

Visit the Széchenyi Baths, a must-see attraction in Budapest, at a discounted price. Originally opened as a spa in 1913, the Széchenyi Baths are now the largest swimming pool in Europe, making them a top attraction for travelers from all over the world.

Enjoy a refreshing swim in the outdoor pool and enjoy the warm hot springs indoors. If you purchase tickets in advance at Wag, you can enter without waiting in line, which is convenient.

How to get to Szechenyi Baths

The easiest way to get to Széchenyi Baths is by taking the M1 subway line. It is located right in front of the Széchenyi fürdő station (the last stop), so you can get off at the station and walk for 2 minutes.

Szechenyi Baths Preparation Checklist

The Szechenyi Baths are as large as a water park, and you have to wear a swimsuit to enter, so surprisingly(?) you need a lot of preparations.

Basic supplies:
Towels (hotel towels available)
Shower supplies
swimsuit
slippers
Waterproof phone case

This is a must-have. You can rent on-site towels (6,000 forints) / swimsuits (6,000 forints), slippers, and swimming caps (4,000 / 2,000 forints each).

Also, locker room use is a must. If you purchase from WAG, locker room access is included in the ticket, so don't worry!

Let me tell you a good time to visit

I definitely recommend visiting the Szechenyi Baths in the morning. This is because there are a lot of group tours in the afternoon, so it’s better to enjoy it in the morning. It opens at 7 a.m. from Monday to Friday, and at 9 a.m. on weekends, so the open run is definitely the answer!

The outdoor hot spring is the main attraction.

The Szechenyi Baths consist of three outdoor pools and 15 indoor pools. The outdoor hot spring pool is the main one. It is not as hot as we think of hot springs, but rather lukewarm, slightly warmer than my body temperature. However, it is not cold even if you visit in the winter.

There are also lanes for swimming, but you must wear a swimming cap to enter.

A comprehensive summary of all kinds of tips

I'll introduce some small, subtle tips for those who plan to visit the Szechenyi Baths.

1. Lights come on at night
So the night is more beautiful. If you have time at night, I recommend the night too!

2. Personal dryer use is not allowed.
Only the dryers on site can be used.

3. Slippers and flip-flops are a must
You can't move without this. You absolutely must bring it.

It's right in front of you. Let's plan a course together!
