The experience

Europe’s largest thermal spa complex, with three outdoor and fifteen indoor pools inside an 1913 neo-baroque building.

Széchenyi is Europe’s largest thermal spa complex, built in 1913 and fed by two thermal springs. The full-day pass covers three outdoor pools, including the main thermal bath where locals play chess in the steam, and fifteen indoor pools and saunas within the neo-baroque building.

This is a self-paced visit — there is no fixed route, and most visitors spend anywhere from two hours to a full day moving between the pools at their own pace.
