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
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.

Hello, I have a vaccination card from the United States. My vaccine dates are February, 2021, March 2021 and October 2021. I see a comment about expiration. I have not heard of the vaccinations expiring. Will my card be valid for entry July 2022? Will the pools be open then? And am I required to make a reservation?
thank you.
Hello
As of today 17 Feb 2022 between 1300 to 1330 the security guard was taking photos of peoples’ c19 passes rather than scanning or reading them instead? On the passes one could read full names and peoples’ date of birth, and their surgery practice details.
Wheras scanning just the QR code or checking the details with a photo ID should be sufficient.
We did not read or signed any GDPR conditions nor accepted any T&C with the Gellert Spa, so my questions are:
1. On what grounds your security guard was taking photos of the c19 passes?
2. Why peoples’ data should be stored in someone’s phone? It is very wrong according to European GDPR regulations.
2. What do you do with people’s data, howbyouvstore then and how do you use them?
3. How long do you keep those datas ?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
