One ticket gets you into everything at Széchenyi, all 18 pools and all 10 saunas and steam rooms, for the whole day. What you choose is where you change, which day you come and which door you use.
This page sets out the four tickets worth knowing about, what each one includes and the terms you buy under.
Tickets
Széchenyi Spa Tickets with Optional Upgrades
Most popular: all-day entry to the 3 outdoor and 15 indoor pools, with a locker or a private cabin, plus fast-track and early-morning options if you want them. Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Széchenyi Spa: Full Day Entry Ticket
The same day ticket from Tiqets: all-day entry with a locker or a private cabin, without the fast-track or morning options. Can be cancelled until the day before your visit.
Széchenyi Spa: Entry + Palm House with Snack and Cocktail
Best if you packed nothing: fast-track full-day entry plus the Palm House lounge, with a cabin, bathrobe, towel, disposable slippers, swimming cap, a cocktail, a fruit bowl and unlimited water. Non-refundable.
Sparty: The Ultimate Late-Night Spa Party Ticket
Saturday night only: the party in the outdoor pools from 21:30 to 02:00, with a locker, as a basic ticket or a premium one with drink coupons. Over-18s only. Non-refundable.
Why book ahead
- The bath advises buying before you come, and gives online tickets priority when it is full
- You arrive with a ticket to show, not a ticket machine to queue for
- Both day tickets can be cancelled, so a booked date costs you nothing in flexibility
Ticket types
Full day entry ticket
The standard way in. It covers entry and all 3 outdoor and 15 indoor pools, with somewhere to change and leave your things. Massages, food and drinks, a towel and flip-flops are not included, and the last two can be bought on site.
- Sold by Tiqets
- Booked as Entrance + Locker or Entrance + Private Cabin
- Can be cancelled or moved until the day before your visit
- Show your phone ticket to the staff at the help desk. The ticket directs you to the entrance on Állatkerti körút, by the Circus and the zoo
- Last admission is one hour before closing
What you choose between, and what changes the price
- Locker or cabin. A locker is storage in the men’s or women’s changing area and holds a backpack. A cabin is a private room to change in, which stays yours all day and takes a suitcase. The cabin costs more
- Weekday or weekend. Monday to Thursday is the cheapest time to come. Weekend dates cost more, and public holidays and peak periods cost more again
- Standard or fast track. Fast track costs more and uses a separate entrance. It is sold as a morning or an afternoon ticket
There are no child, student or senior rates, and nobody under 14 is admitted.
Fast track and the morning pass
Both come as options on the GetYourGuide day ticket. Fast track is sold with a cabin, for weekdays or weekends, as a morning or an afternoon ticket.
Each one is only valid for entry inside the window shown on the option, so read it before you pay. The bath’s own rule is entry by 11:00 on a morning ticket and after 15:00 on an afternoon one, and either way you can stay until closing.
The morning pass comes with a locker and is for entry before 09:00 only, Monday to Thursday, with a separate Friday version. Arrive after nine and it will not get you in.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead, and you can reserve now and pay later
- One entry only
- Bring a passport or ID card, swimwear, a towel, flip-flops and a swimming cap. Nothing can be hired
Entry with the Palm House
The Palm House is a lounge on the upper floor with a limited number of guests, a bar and a hostess. The bath’s own name for it is the Dayspalm. This ticket is the only one where you need to bring nothing but swimwear.
- Sold by Tiqets, with fast-track entry
- Includes full-day admission, a cabin, a bathrobe and towel for your stay, disposable slippers, a swimming cap, one cocktail (with or without alcohol), one fruit bowl and unlimited water
- The lounge keeps shorter hours than the bath, 09:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Thursday and 09:00 to 19:00 from Friday to Sunday, and last admission on this ticket is two hours before closing
- Non-refundable, and it cannot be rescheduled
Sparty ticket
A ticket to the Saturday night party, not to the bath. It includes entry and a locker, and the premium option adds drink coupons. Towels, flip-flops and further drinks are not included, and flip-flops are compulsory. Non-refundable.
Everything else, from the cash-only drinks card to getting home at two in the morning, is in our Sparty guide.
Where to buy
Online: the day ticket covers most visits and is the one with the fast-track and morning options; the same ticket from Tiqets can be cancelled until the day before.
On the day: the bath sells tickets on the door when it has room. The machines at the Bath entrance take cards only, and the staffed desks at the Steam entrance, the door nearest the metro, take cash in forints as well. Euros are not accepted.
Before you go
- Download the ticket. Your QR code is swapped for a wristband at the desk, and a booking number on its own is not accepted
- Valid for the date you booked, and for one entry. Leave the bath and you need a new ticket to return
- Proof of age: bring a passport or ID card for anyone who could be taken for under 14
- Swimwear and slippers are compulsory, and a cap if you plan to use the lap pool
- Pools close for maintenance in rotation. The bath lists what is closed on the “Available services” page of its website
- Hours, last entry and the quietest times are in the opening hours guide
