Accessible

The thermal pool in the female only section can be accessed by wheelchair (directly from the main hall, without any raised areas or stairs that would hinder the way) the pool lift is currently not available.
The garden and outdoor areas are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible at the moment, but the baths are working on turning Gellert Spa into a truly accessible bath complex in the future. Thank you for your continued patience.
Please see a video about visiting with a wheelchair on this link.
Currently, there are two Budapest thermal baths ready to accept wheelchair users, with accessible routes and entries and pool elevator lifts.
These two thermal spas are perhaps lesser known but excellent choices. Paskal Thermal Bath is in the green Zuglo district of Budapest with low-ramp public buses (or you can hire a private wheelchair-accessible transfer to the baths).
The driving distance is estimated at approx. 25 min from Deak Square, the heart of the city. Pesterzsebeti Thermal Bath is also away from Budapest city centre in the southern zone of the city, in Csepel District (approx. 20 min ride by taxi / private transport). Before making a visit, to avoid any unpleasant surprises, kindly make sure to inquire about the updates regarding the state of the lift as occasionally they may be out of order.
