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.

  3. Hello, we are traveling to Budapest from the 27th till 29th of December and i can’t seem to find that date to reserve tickets

    • Hi Nour,
      Thank you for your inquiry about services between Dec 24, 2019, and Jan 7, 2020, in the baths.
      Due to the high number of visitors during the festive winter days, the thermal baths’ managerial decision was made that no fast track entries or cabins (changing cubicles) are sold during these days.

      On 26th December 2019, on the date of your visit, guests will be checked in on a first-come-first-served basis. As long queues are expected there may be some lines waiting in the cold. Please find more details, advice and other thermal bath alternatives on the following link: BathsBudapest.com/Dec
      Enjoy the thermal baths in winter Budapest and explore some more if it is not your first visit in the city.

  4. Hello,
    I left 2 comments on Dec 15th and 16th, but both of them disappeared.

    I don’t know why.

    We are visiting on Jan 2nd, 2020 and would like to know if outdoor thermal pool&sauna facilities will be available on that day.

    Hope that I can get your answer this time.

    • Dear HJ LIM,
      Thank you for your inquiry about services between Dec 24, 2019, and Jan 7, 2020 in the baths. 
      During winter season the wave pool is closed, but the other two outside pools and the sauna are open.
      Due to the high number of visitors during the festive winter days, the thermal baths’ managerial decision was made that no fast track entries or cabins (changing cubicles) are sold during these days, with the notable exception of the pre-NYE night party tickets, which will be bookable for December 30 as usual (in Szechenyi Baths http://szechenyispabaths.com/szechenyi-baths-new-year-bath-party/).

      Guests of day time visit will be checked in on a first-come-first-served basis. As long queues are expected there may be some lines waiting in the cold. Please find more details, advice and other thermal bath alternatives on the following link: BathsBudapest.com/Dec
