Closed until 2028
The Gellért baths, with their covered pool of columns and mosaics from 1918, have been closed since 1 October 2025 for a full renovation. Their official website gives the reopening as planned for 2028. Any website that is still selling tickets for the Gellért in 2026 or 2027 cannot be trusted.
What to do instead
- For a historic bath with a dome, the Rudas baths, a ten-minute walk along the same bank.
- For the open-air bath, the Széchenyi baths.
- For something quiet and cheap, the Lukács baths.
The Art Nouveau façade looks the same from outside, at the end of Liberty Bridge, with Gellért Hill behind.
