Budapest Spas Increase Entry Fees

From next week, ticket prices for thermal baths in Budapest will change. The highest-traffic spas will see price increases of up to 10 percent.

As in previous years, the operator, Budapest Spas cPlc, will implement the price increase in a differentiated method. This means that from January 8 onward, the historic spas visited mainly by tourists will increase their ticket prices by a larger percentage, while those visited mainly by domestic guests will increase their prices by a lesser amount.

Of the Budapest spas, only Palatinus will not increase its prices.

There, full-price admission will remain at HUF 3,200 on weekdays and HUF 3,500 (EUR 8-9) on weekends.

For the two most popular historic baths, Széchenyi and Gellért, the price increases are between +10 and +12 percent. Thus, between Monday and Thursday, a locker ticket at the Széchenyi Spa will cost HUF 10,500, and HUF 12,000 on Friday and weekends (EUR 27.5-31.5).

The Gellért Spa prices will also remain the same.

For Rudas Spa, the price increase will remain within eight percent. Tickets will cost HUF 9,300 on weekdays and the weekend price of HUF 12,000 will remain unchanged (EUR 24-31.5). The price for the Turkish bath will be HUF 6,400 (EUR 17) on weekdays instead of the previous HUF 5,900.

The Lukács Thermal Baths will be +6.2 to +9 percent more expensive. The full price for the pools will be HUF 4,800 on weekdays and HUF 5,200 on weekends (EUR 12-13).

Holders of the Zsigmondy Club Card, which can be issued for one year at a price of HUF 5,000 (EUR 13), can still buy a four-hour ticket to the Széchenyi, Gellért, and Rudas spas for HUF 4,000 on weekdays and HUF 4,500 during weekends (EUR 10.5-12).
