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.
BATHS Opening Hours – 9am – 7pm
Covid Passports –no longer required
Gellert Spa is open Monday – Sunday 9.00 to 19.00. As per the Hungarian government regulations, Covid passports are no longer required to be presented from 3rd July, 2021 onwards (Hungary has reached the Covid vaccination target of 5.5 million vaccinated citizens, which was the threshold established by the HU government). Please kindly note that during the months of Covid pandemic, official regulations are subject to change (following government decrees), so please do check the status of the bath requirements before your visit.
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.
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.
Hello, when will the reconstruction take approximately? thanks a lot
Hello Jan,
I am afraid the opening date is not confirmed yet. It is also possible that Gellert Spa keeps closed in 2020.
We recommend you select a different bath or lido. Please find more Budapest Baths on the following page: http://www.bathsbudapest.com/szechenyi-bath
Have a nice holiday in Budapest!
Hi,

Best regards, Charlotte Krantz
Hello Charlotte,
Unfortunately, at the moment, visitors will need to present a valid Covid passport from a country given the green status by the HU government. Sweden is not on the list yet.
The entry requirements for the thermal baths in Budapest is as follows:
visitors are to have a valid immunity card issued by the HU government or any of the countries accepted by the HU government, momentarily, mostly South-Eastern European countries including Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Moldova etc. as well as Turkey and Bahrain). The full list of countries whose Covid passport has reached the point of mutual acceptance in the intergovernmental negotiations can be seen here (update on 30th May): https://koronavirus.gov.hu/cikkek/vedettsegi-igazolvanyok-elfogadasa-20210530
Regardless of any tests, cards, certificates etc., if a visitor shows any symptoms related to Covid at the entrance of the baths (high temperature etc.) they will be rejected from entry to the baths.
We hope that in a few months’ time travel and entry procedures will become more transparent and smoothly organised. Until then, thank you for your continued support to minimise the potential spread of the virus.
Hello,
Kindly note that from July 3, 2021 Budapest Baths, including Gellert Spa will no longer require visitors to show a Covid passport before entry. Visitors can attend the thermal baths and spas without a vaccination card / Corona virus passport.
Hello,
Can you give any updates of the reopening of Gellert baths?
When do you think it will open again? This summer? Fall? Before Christmas? Next year?
Any information would be much appreciated.
Hello Ulrika,
