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.

Dear Gellert staff
Nice to meet you.My name is Ryosuke and I am one of the intepreter at TOKYO STORY TV which makes Japanese TV program.
The reason why I write this e-mail is we want to make it clear that the temperature of your spa and onsen. Is it correct that the temperature of your spa and onsen is aronud 36 degree?
The TV program called “Worldwide Surprising Cool Japan Inspectors(Sekai ga odoroita Nippon sugo-idesune Shisatsudan)”we make is always trying to check accuracy of our information. And all the time we MUST NEED the comments of each your attraction BY YOURSELF. Especially this time we’re going to introduce and compare the degree of spa in some countries because Japan is one of the countries which is popular as spa “onsen” countries as well
We really apricieate if you send us as soon as possible because of our broadcasting schedule. Our program needs a recording with Japnese comedians just before broadcasting on TV.
Best Regards,
Ryosuke Namba

If i pay for a cabin, can i put my trolley into the cabin for all the permanence in the spa?
Hello Ylenia,
We suggest the tickets with cabins for you.
The cabin is like a tiny room, or cubicle, which can store a standard check-in suitcase easily.
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.
Hope we can welcome you at Gellert Spa!
