Budapest Gyógyfürdői és Hévizei (Budapest Spas)

The municipal company that runs Budapest's spas: Széchenyi, Rudas, Lukács and Gellért, the last closed for works until 2028.

Budapest Spas cPlc, in Hungarian Budapest Gyógyfürdői és Hévizei Zrt., is the city company that operates Budapest's great thermal spas. Each spa has its own website, its own online ticket sales and its own rules, collected in a common set of regulations with annexes for each bath.

Its spas

  • Széchenyi, in City Park: the largest, with outdoor pools.
  • Rudas, at the foot of Gellért Hill: a 16th-century Turkish bath, rooftop and night bathing.
  • Lukács, next to Margaret Bridge: the locals' spa.
  • Gellért: closed from 1 October 2025 until 2028.

Before you go

Since 1 August 2025, Széchenyi and Rudas do not admit children under 14. The day ticket does not include a towel or bathrobe. Buy on each bath's website: there are resellers who charge more for the same ticket.
