If you want a proper swim take a swimming cap or you won’t be able to use that pool. My mistake for not checking but would have liked a proper swim too”

Skip-the-line entry to Széchenyi Baths plus time to relax in 18 pools and saunas, with a possible Pálinka Museum add-on.

“Lovely morning spent here. The pool was lovely and although there were lots of people it didn’t seem crowded. Bring a towel or even better a robe as it was cold when you got out. Flip flops a must. There are 3 entrances so please look for the one that says redeem online tickets. We got caught out and stood in 2 separate queues before we got the right one. I would say the Hungarians are not the most helpful not rude but just not helpful. I struggled with the communication aspects and I’m sorry to say relied on google translate. Definitely worth the effort”

Go to Europe’s largest public spa in Budapest with full-day access to Szechenyi’s thermal pools, saunas, and wellness facilities.

“The baths themselves were definitely worth a visit. Unfortunately, as other reviewers have said, they are unable to scan Viator QR codes at the entrance. This resulted in a 30 minute hassle trying to gain admission. I called Viator customer service but got no answer. Eventually the people at the gate took pity on me and let me in, but I’m not sure they would all do that. Viator did reach out later, but it was too late to be of any help. I was hesitant to book with them because of other reviews, but I thought surely they had worked it out by now.”
