Széchenyi opened in 1913 and is still the largest thermal complex in Europe. The water comes from a bore of one thousand two hundred and fifty-six metres, arrives at seventy-seven degrees and feeds eighteen pools at graded temperatures.

The three outdoor pools are what you come for, especially in winter: at thirty-eight degrees in freezing air, the steam does not clear. That is also where the famous chess games are played, on submerged boards, between regulars.

Getting there

Metro line 1, Széchenyi fürdő station, in the city park. The exit is in front of the main entrance.

Hours

Monday to Thursday 7am – 8pm, Friday 7am – 10pm, Saturday and Sunday 8am – 8pm

The "good morning" ticket, for entry before 9am, drops to 10,500 Ft on weekdays. A private cabin and fast track cost extra, and day tickets are sold on the pool side, on Állatkerti körút.

What to bring

Rules on site

A cap is not required but flip-flops and a towel are, and hiring them on site is expensive: bring your own. Locker or cabin is chosen when you buy the ticket, and is hard to change afterwards.
