About Széchenyi Baths

How Can I Visit a Budapest Beer Spa?

Széchenyi Baths have two beer spas in its complex. One of the beer spas is meant for the visitors who visit the main Széchenyi bath complex and the other beer spa is just for those who wish to enjoy a soak in beer baths. However, both the Széchenyi beer spas are ticketed venues. We recommend combining your visit to the beer spa with a dip in the main Széchenyi Baths complex as a trip to Budapest will be incomplete without paying a visit to the largest thermal bath complex in Europe.

​Széchenyi Baths see huge crowds on a daily basis, no matter what time of the day or season it is. Pre-booking your Budapest Baths tickets is the best way to ensure that you get a hassle-free entry even when there are heavy crowds at the attraction. Not only do you get to skip the hassle of standing in long queues, but online tickets are also safe and they encourage contactless transactions.
