Gellért Thermal Bath and Spa Tours and Tickets

Yes, you can book tickets for Gellért Thermal Bath and Spa in advance online. Tickets that include the use of either lockers or private changing rooms—also referred to as cabins, where you can leave your belongings for the duration of your visit—are available. You can also book a variety of massages with your admission ticket.

No, there aren’t separate sections for men and women at Gellért Thermal Bath and Spa. The complex is now completely co-ed, so men and women can go to the various baths and pools at the same time. The only bathhouse in Budapest to run separate sessions for men and women is Rudas.

Yes, there are a few important rules to know before your visit. You'll be expected to shower with soap and hot water before going into the pools, and wear flip-flops or rubber sandals when not in the pools. Swim caps are required in the indoor swimming pool, but not in the thermal pools.

Yes, you’ll need to bring your own towel and swimwear to Gellért Thermal Bath and Spa, along with flip-flops or slippers, a swimsuit, and a swim cap (if using the swimming pool). You can buy towels, bathing suits, slippers, and swim caps upon arrival, but they aren’t good value.

Gellért Thermal Bath and Spa offers sauna and steam rooms, as well as a variety of massages and pedicures. You can also purchase special soap or even mud to use during your visit.

No, Gellért Thermal Bath and Spa is not suitable for families with children. As with all spas in Budapest, it’s very much an adult space with a focus on relaxation and health. However, children 14 and over are welcome to visit the baths under parental supervision; kids under 14 cannot enter the saunas, steam rooms, plunge pools, or indoor thermal pools, but can use the indoor pool if they can swim.
