Budapest thermal baths, compared
Fifteen baths, one city, and the prices are nowhere near each other: a weekday adult ticket at the lidos on the outer districts costs a fraction of what the famous domes in City Park charge. Two of the big names are shut for years, one is a session-priced Ottoman hammam, and several sell cheaper fares that only a Budapest address or a local transit pass unlocks. The table below puts all of that side by side, with a link to our full guide wherever we have written one.
Live notices
- Rudas Thermal Bath and Swimming PoolThe bath cannot currently be used by visitors with reduced mobility. This is the operator's own wording and it names the whole bath, not one section.
- Paskál Medicinal and Lido BathThe geothermal sauna is permanently closed for renovation into a salt inhalation room, work started 17 August 2026 with no completion date. The medicinal water drinking fountain is also currently out of service, with no end date.
- Pesterzsébet Iodine-Salt Medicinal and Lido BathThe wave pool's 2026 season ended early, on 6 September, and the bath's notice puts that down to the weather. The beach area it sits in is closed for the winter.
