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 the upcoming months.
Gellert thermal pools, swimming pool, outdoor 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 by River Danube Budapest
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.
Gellert Spa Bath – Outdoor Pool
Kindly note that the outdoor pool at Gellert Spa & Thermal Bath—formerly the iconic wave pool featuring not only Budapest’s or Europe’s, but the world’s first artificial wave machine from 1927—has a gradually deepening design, ranging from shallow areas that may be suitable for younger visitors, to significantly deeper sections on the opposite end. – Temperature: 26°C, Water depth: 0.40 m – 2.75 m.
While the outdoor pool is typically open from the end of May through September, it may occasionally require maintenance on short notice. For this reason, we strongly recommend checking availability on the day of your visit, either at the entrance or with staff on site, as access to this pool cannot always be guaranteed.

Hi are there lockers to store stuff? If so, how big ? and do they cost an extra fee?
Hello Miranda,
thank you for your inquiry.
There are tickets with cabins or with lockers. All tickets are sold with some kind of storage space.
The cabin is like a tiny room, or cubicle where you can get changed and store your belongings.
The cabin size is approx. that of a dressing room in a clothes shop, so you can leave there the 20 kg suitcase as well ( if it is a regular size) along with your jackets etc.
The door of the cabin has a unique chip code lock, which opens and closes with a special waterproof bracelet: in fact, with the chip incorporated in the wristband bath entry provided at the bath. Please make sure that your door is locked with the silicon wristband before leaving the cabin. As you are wearing the band all the times, it is quite secure if you make sure that the door is not left open.
The size of the locker is 120x30x65 cm (1200 x 300 x 650 mm)., so it would be too small for your bags.
The lockers are also opened and closed by your wristband.
The tickets with lockers are slightly cheaper than the cabin tickets.
I hope I could help.
can I buy a ticket for February? Or is that too soon to do right now?
Hello Serge,
the 2019 rates will be available in January.
Thank you for your patience.

Dear Gerd,
as far as we can see you have booked 2 single 45 min massages.

Hi,
Tell me please, do you provide any towels? For additional payment or price includes it? Thank you in advance
Tanya
Hello Tanya,
although towel rental is available in Gellert Baths, there are often queues building up at the Rental Room (please see on bath map). Please note that the fast track entrance is only for the bath entry, and will not entitle you to have a quicker access to rentals or services.
Therefore, we strongly recommend bringing your own towel to avoid some unnecessary inconvenience. The towels can be rented with a deposit of HUF 2,000, and a towel rental fee of HUF 1,000 (cash only, both).
Hope we can welcome you at Gellert Spa!
