Hello
I read in a Budapest tourist guide book that there is a pool only for women. How can I order 2 tickets for me and my female friend for this pool?
Dear Guest,
thank you for your email.
Gellert Spa has turned into a mixed spa bath complex on January 01, 2013. Before that, men and women had separate thermal pools, but it is no longer an available option for those seeking a men only or women only bath.
As Gellert Spa & Thermal Bath has become a coed bath palace, men and women are allowed to enter the baths together at the same time at any time.
To buy your fast track entries, please follow:

Hello,
We have the Budapest Card (120h) and we want to come to Gellert Spa, for the baths and massages.
What do we have to do in order to come on Monday?
Do we also have to book tickets before we come and how do we get the discount if so.
Thank you,
Antonio
