Unfortunately, there will be no fast track entries or cabins (changing cubicles) sold during the upcoming Winter Holiday Season (between Dec 24, 2019 – Jan 7, 2020) based on a managerial decision. Please note that the baths will be open, however, we kindly suggest that you go there early because tickets/massages will be sold on the spot on the first-come-first-served basis.

As well as you can bring your own. Shower gels are provided for showering.
I hope this helps.
Have a great day.
If I visit multiple times in the same day (e.g. morning and afternoon), will I need multiple tickets, or is a ticket valid for the entire day / unlimited visits?
Thanks in advance
Hello Alf,
The bath tickets in the thermal baths in Budapest are all single passes and do not entitle visitors for multiple entries. In short, the answer would be yes, if you visit then leave the baths, you would be required to buy an additional spa entry for each re-entry.
The exception is the Private Bath section which is completely separated from the public pools, so to go to the private bath would not require an entry.
We usually suggest visiting more of the thermal baths in Budapest if you should leave the bath, why not explore a different highlight of the thermal baths in Budapest? Szechenyi Baths, Rudas Baths are unique and beautiful in their own ways offering multiple pools with hot spring waters.
Hi, Is it possible to hire the venue for a group of 110 in an evening? Or for smaller groups early in the morning in May?
Dear Abbi,

Have a lovely rest of the day!
