Gellert Spa is one of the most famous thermal spa baths in Europe, and one of the leading natural hot spring spa baths in Budapest, Hungary
Kindly note that 1 out of the 10 pools will be closed due to maintenance in March.
Gellert thermal pools, swimming pool, wave pool and spa treatments offer a great relaxation and entertainment all year round. Visit Gellert Spa Bath and experience high quality relaxation at a fraction of the costs you would pay in any western country.
Gellert Bath opened in 1918 offering medicinal water treatments using the same deep underground springs the Knights of St John used in the 12th century, and later on the Turks to feel the invigorating powers of the mineral rich waters.
Gellert Spa is situated by the river Danube where panoramic boats carry passengers by day and by night. The building of the thermal bath is one of the many beautiful riverside attractions along the river in Budapest. To see available boat tours in the city you can check Budapest river cruise programmes and their daily timetables.
Come and visit our favourite bath in Budapest besides Szechenyi Baths: Gellert Spa Bath is the true gem of the thermal baths where you can easily spend a day, explore the numerous pools, get luxury treatments without having to feel crowded by other tourists. Spa and elegance await you in the Art Nouveau building of the almost hundred year old Gellert Bath.
Gellert Spa is famous for its lovely warm spring water pools, its architecture, its landscape, and also for its spa treatments, and pampering massage therapies at reasonable prices.

Is there anything mandatory you need? For example flip flops, towels etc. is any of this stuff rented out? And what are your opening times on a Sunday?
Hello Georgia,
Thank you for your questions about your Gellert Spa bath visit. Yes, there are some mandatory items to bring:
Bathing footwear to use between pools, corridors and other communal areas, outside the pool waters: flipflops – clogs (e.g. crocs type lightweight with holes in them) – slippers, slides (aqua or water slides) are all accepted
Towels come very handy as the bath services do not include towels. You can either bring one or purchase one as towel hire in Budapest Gellert Bath is currently not an option.
Swimwear: compulsory to wear. Best to bring a size and model you know and like (some available at the bath store of course, but the sizing or the model may not be your perfect choice).
Confirmation of e-Tickets, digital bath tickets or QR codes. If you ordered your Gellert Spa ticket online, you will be asked to bring it along then redeem your waterproof bath wrist band for the ticket upon check in at the online Reception desk.
Have a wonderful time in Budapest!
