Budapest: Széchenyi Spa Day Ticket with Optional Upgrades

1.Széchenyi Spa Day Ticket with Optional Upgrades

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 23,911 reviews · 1 day · from $51Our pick

Spend a full day at Budapest’s Széchenyi Spa, with 18 thermal pools, grand architecture, and optional cabin upgrades.

“In our experience getting the morning cabin package was the best option, this allowed us to skip the queues and have our own space to change and shower. After seeing the unisex changing rooms it deffo showed us we made the right choice to pay a little more. The outdoor baths themselves were great, but did notice a smell in the indoor ones. Overall happy we chose to do the morning baths instead of the afternoon and would highly recommend getting a cabin.”

“Our guide was named Eduardo, and he was fantastic. We were picked up right outside of our location. Born and raised in the Azores, he was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Dinner was so delicious and it was fantastic to have dined with our guide who was able to continue to educate us on the best choices. He was familiar with all the staff so it was like we were dining along friends. The sites were wonderful and the hot springs were a fantastic way to end the night. I’m so glad we booked this. I don’t think we would have enjoyed it as much if we would have driven…”
