There is nothing so wonderful and bizarre as walking outside in February in your bathing suit and getting into an outdoor thermal pool. At Szechenyi you can swim, relax or even play chess on the tops of stone pillars. It is open from 6am to 10pm every day, but the thermal pools close an hour earlier. A variety of fitness and spa treatments are available but it is rejuvenating just to be there.

The bath is situated in the City Park, on the Pest side of the capital. By public transportation, it is easy to reach on metro line 1 (yellow line). By car, it is close to where the M3 freeway runs into town. From downtown, the Andrassy Boulevard stretches out to Heroes Square, and the bath is a few hundred metres beyond the square.
Address: H-1146 Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 11.
