⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to everyone! The combined spa and night cruise on the Danube was one of the highlights of our trip. After spending a few hours at the spa, enjoying relaxing pools and moments of pure wellness, we ended the day with a wonderful evening cruise on the Danube. Sailing at night, admiring the illuminated monuments and the cityscape reflected on the water, was simply thrilling. The atmosphere was magical, romantic, and evocative, creating moments that will remain etched in our memories for a long time. The contrast between the relaxation of the spa and the historical and cultural beauty visible from the river makes this combination truly perfect. The organization was impeccable and the value for money surprising: for the cost of the experience, you get much more than you’d expect. It’s an offer that lets you experience two fundamental aspects of the city—wellness and its history—in a single day. If you’re looking for something that combines relaxation, culture, breathtaking views, and authentic experiences, this is undoubtedly an experience not to be missed. I would do it again in a heartbeat and recommend it without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We booked a pass that included a locker, and we went there at 8 a.m. on a Thursday. We got in very quickly—there was no line. There are small changing rooms with large lockers to store your belongings. In the morning, we started with the indoor pools. Very few people in some of the pools—we were alone. There are lockers next to each pool to put your phone, towels, etc. There are many pools with different temperatures. Very pleasant. Around 10 a.m., we went to the outdoor pools... really nice... there were a few more people, but it was fine. There were plenty of lounge chairs... we stayed until noon. Great experience.

Ending the second-to-last day with a relaxing swim was a great way to recover physically from all the walking. I highly recommend using the indoor pools—especially the 20-degree one, along with the others—for that purpose, and the outdoor pools for fun. As for the cruise, it’s a great way to get full shots of the buildings and bridges from a different perspective, and 8:30 p.m. was the best time in June to capture them at sunset and dusk. I recommend this combo as the most interesting of the excursions.

The spa is pretty amazing. There are at least a dozen pools of various temperatures, plus saunas of different intensities. There are hours of things to try out and lots of space to relax. You get a little wristband when you enter and this gives you access to the lockers, which work great. The online ticketing worked perfectly. Note! Bring towels and flip-flops, or you have to buy them there.

I recommend buying your ticket online, first of all because it’s more convenient, and secondly because entry is quick thanks to the QR code. Using a private changing room is also recommended because it allows you to leave your belongings there and have a private space to change after your shower. There aren’t many showers, but the water is hot.

The baths were spectacular, envigorating and relaxing all rolled up in one. Had a blast in the lazy river in the middle of the outdoor pool. Then went to the indoor pools from warm to hot. Service was spectacular. Would strongly suggest getting a private changing room. And don't forget to bring your own towel and flip flops.

Enjoy access to Széchenyi Thermal Baths with entry to over 15 indoor and outdoor pools, soothing steam rooms, and saunas.

Upgrade your experience with optional fast-track entry in the morning or afternoon, saving time at the entrance during peak hours.

I had a really great time at the Budapest thermal baths. I recommend going on your last or second-to-last day to help you unwind.

After a slightly chaotic/frustrating start, we spent a lovely day at the Szechenyi baths. We booked a day ticket plus private cabin online the day before but we arrived just before 11am, only to be told that they'd reached capacity so we had to wait outside. Their system seems a bit odd if they are still selling on the day tickets even though people have booked online and then can't get entry. Anyway, we only had to wait about 30minutes and then we were in. Beautiful buildings, lovely baths, fun whirlpool and bubble pools, sun beds and cafe/bar plus inside pools. A lovely, relaxing way to spend the day, thank you. The private cabins were good for leaving all your stuff and getting changed too. I suppose the advice to turn up early is really true! And you need to take a towel as you can't hire them, only buy them and they're expensive!

We purchased a ticket that included fast-track entry and a private locker/cabin, a convenient option that lets you skip part of the lines. The outdoor area is definitely the most beautiful part of the complex: the outdoor pools are picturesque and the atmosphere is pleasant. Unfortunately, however, some areas were closed during our visit. The indoor area, on the other hand, disappointed us: the facilities appear poorly maintained, and some of the indoor baths have a rather unpleasant odor that detracts from the overall experience. Overall, it was an interesting visit, but we expected better maintenance.
