Thermal Bath "Szechenyi" (Széchényi Fürdő)

Located in the city park Varoshliget, the Szechenyi bath is one of the largest bathing complexes in Europe and the first therapeutic bath in Pest. Built in 1913, the bath was expanded in 1927 with a men's and women's section of the public bath and outdoor pools with a beach. Healing waters with a temperature of 76 ° C, feeding the pools of the Szechenyi baths, rise from a depth of 1246 m — this is the second deepest source in Budapest. In the mid-60s, a general thermal bath and a day hospital (complex physiotherapy department) were opened. The effects pool is equipped with: a circular corridor with a fast flow, whirlpool baths, a hydromassage shower for the neck, jet back massage devices hidden in the benches, as well as many other options for underwater hydromassage. In addition to traditional balneological services, the entrance fee includes some wellness treatments, visits to saunas, gyms, aerobics and group gymnastics in the water.
