Széchenyi Thermal Bath
Széchenyi Thermal Bath, located in Budapest’s City Park, is the largest medicinal bath complex in Europe and a masterpiece of Neo-Baroque architecture. Opened in 1913 and expanded in 1927, the complex now boasts 18 pools—15 indoor and 3 grand outdoor pools—with water temperatures ranging from 18°C to 40°C, all supplied by deep thermal springs rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and sulfate. The iconic yellow façade and ornate interiors create a unique atmosphere, while the outdoor pools, including a whirlpool and a thermal pool, are especially popular for their relaxing ambiance and year-round accessibility. Inside, visitors can enjoy steam rooms, saunas, and a variety of spa treatments, such as massages and facials, all designed to promote health and relaxation. The baths have a storied history, with roots tracing back to the late 19th century when the first artesian well was drilled, and the tradition of thermal bathing in Budapest extends to Roman and Turkish times. Today, Széchenyi Bath is a must-see for its architectural beauty, therapeutic waters, and the quintessential Budapest experience it offers.
