Széchenyi Baths

Frommer's Review

Part of an immense health spa located in the City Park, the Széchenyi Baths are perhaps second only to the Gellért Baths in terms of facilities and popular appeal. Ivy climbs the walls of the sprawling pool complex here. On a nice day, crowds of bathers, including many families and tourists, visit the palatial unisex outdoor swimming pool. Turkish-style thermal baths are segregated and are located off to the sides of the pool. Look for the older gentlemen concentrating intently on their chess games, half-immersed in the steaming pool. Prices are all posted in English, and the refund system is described.
