Gellért Thermal Bath

I loved the experience of the Thermal baths. It was clean and easy to navigate, not terribly crowded for a summer day. One pool was under construction, but there is plenty of space and options. I enjoyed my time and felt it was a must when visiting Budapest ❤️😊

A good place to cool off during intense heat. The thermal pool is nice and the regular pool is also very nice. Though it could be cleaner, but I’ve got no major complaints. A second/third food vendor could also be helpful.

The Gellért Thermal Baths (often mistakenly referred to as “Grill Plague” due to pronunciation!) are one of Budapest’s most iconic and luxurious spa destinations. Located inside the stunning Gellért Hotel, this historic bathhouse combines Art Nouveau elegance with centuries-old thermal healing traditions. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with breathtaking architecture — colorful mosaics, intricate stained glass, and grand columns. The interior is nothing short of a visual feast. The thermal pools, fed by natural hot springs, are rich in minerals and perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. There are several indoor and outdoor pools of varying temperatures, along with saunas, steam rooms, and even a wave pool in the warmer months. The outdoor thermal pool, surrounded by beautiful classical buildings, is particularly charming. The atmosphere is calm and soothing, making it an ideal place to unwind after exploring the city. It’s also less crowded than some other spas if you visit during weekday mornings. One of the standout features is the thoughtful accessibility: most of the pools are equipped with aids to help wheelchair users enter and enjoy the baths comfortably, making it a more inclusive experience for everyone. Whether you’re looking to soothe tired muscles, enjoy architectural beauty, or simply relax in a piece of Budapest’s spa culture, Gellért Thermal Baths are a must-visit. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit, towel, swimming cap and flip-flops — and give yourself plenty of time to soak it all in.

The Gellért Thermal Bath is undeniably one of Budapest’s most beautiful historic spas, with breathtaking Art Nouveau architecture and a classic European atmosphere. It’s a place that feels like stepping back in time. 🛁 The variety of thermal pools, saunas, and steam rooms is impressive, and the setting—especially the stained glass and tiled interiors—is truly unique. It’s a great place to unwind and experience Budapest's famous bathing culture. 🧭 However, be warned: the layout is confusing. The building is like a maze, with little signage and multiple disconnected areas. Finding your way around—especially to your locker or cabin—can be frustrating, and staff assistance is minimal. 🎒 Lockers are available, but it can take a while to find yours, and there’s no clear system explained at the start. If you opt for a private changing cabin, that can be a better choice for convenience. It can also get crowded, especially in the afternoons. Try to visit early in the day for a more peaceful experience. Leave a like if you read this👍🏽🤩

Oh. My. Gosh!!! This place is just so unbelievably beautiful! I came here by myself, 09.30am on a Tuesday morning in July. I bought my ticket online but you can also purchase it at the door. Opted for the “private cabin” It’s literally just a small changing room but you can lock it with the wristband you get so thats great for leaving your stuff there. Multiple thermal baths, a gorgeous outside area with a bar, restaurant and lots of loungers. You do need to bring your own towel & slippers. If you want to go swimming in the indoor pool (last picture) then you need a swimming cap. You can buy all of that stuff here as well but it’s pricey.

Very nice complex of baths. Pretty building and outdoor area. The pools are various temperatures from 18 degrees to 40 degrees centigrade. People with long hair need a swimming cap for the large indoor pool but not the other pools. There‘s a café that serves ok coffee, if a bit expensive. Entry to the complex is not cheap but it includes use of lockers. Bring your own towel and flip flops. It wasn’t too busy on a Wednesday morning.

Well-organized and clean! The whole place — inside and out — is beautifully detailed. The colors of the tiles, floors, and sculptures all go together so well, it just feels really calming！

Less busier than most popular baths in Budapest but still worth a visit it cost €64 for the 2 of us with a cabin for the day it a bit cheaper on week days. . It has an indoor and outdoor pool, with steam room and a sauna. There are about 5 thermal baths with different temperatures and some plunge pools. There are spa treatments available, a cafe, bar area and a shop on site.
