Szaunázók Hétvégéje, the sauna weekend
3 to 4 October
The Hungarian Baths Association opens the sauna season with a weekend of guided pours at baths around the country. At 16:00 on the Saturday every one of them runs the same themed session at the same moment.
About the event
This is the ninth time the Magyar Fürdőszövetség has organised it. Each bath that joins puts on its own sauna programmes across the two days, with special pours led by a sauna master, so no two will run quite the same weekend. The one fixed point, and the only part arranged centrally, is the session the association calls the official season opener.
In Budapest the Széchenyi is on the list, along with the Pesterzsébet iodine and salt bath and the Csillaghegy Árpád spring bath, and Szentendre and Leányfalu are within reach. The association is still adding baths, and each one publishes its own timetable, opening hours and offers.
