Széchenyi Thermal Bath and more
The Széchenyi Spa is a must on your Budapest getaway whatever you do, and whatever your tastes. And not just as one of the most beautiful spas in the world, but for all that its busy schedule has to offer.

Just like the Museum Night, at the Thermal Bath Night, the doors are open until just after midnight so that everyone can enjoy the facilities of numerous spas. In addition, Széchenyi Spa organises open-air movie nights. That’s right, you can watch films in the open air while enjoying a summer evening in an outdoor swimming pool.
