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.

    Hi,
    I just book 2 tickets for tomorrow (august 6, 2019). Made the payment with PayPal, but I haven´t received any ticket or confirmation number.
    Could you send it to me?
    Or, can you send me an email address so I can send the payment confirmation to you.

    Thank you

  5. Hi we want to visit the baths on 9th or 10th or 11th August – what’s the best way of guaranteeing entrance ? We are two adults two teenagers. We arrive at 7pm on Thursday 8th August and leave Sunday 11th august
    Thanks

    • Hello Cathie,

      while we normally would recommend online bookings to secure your appointments or entries, during the Sziget music festival week – even if you do not attend the festival just the baths – (Aug 7-13) the city attracts half a million extra tourists, so the decision was taken that fast track tickets and fast track treatments will not be bookable during this period, with the exception of Saturday night party tickets, which will be bookable for Aug 10 as usual in Szechenyi Baths.
      Guests of day time visit will be checked in on a first-come-first-served basis. Unfortunately, we expect long queues due to the increased demand, even long lines in the sun. Please find more details, advice and other thermal bath alternatives on the following link: BathsBudapest.com/Aug

      Arriving before 8 am (between 6 am and 8 am) would be very advisable if you do not mind getting up earlier to secure a better chance of getting in the baths with shorter queues.
      Please find other things to do in Budapest in August here:

      Enjoy your August trip in Budapest!
