Hello!
My boyfriend and I are visiting the Baths next weekend. We wanted to know what we need to carry: swimwear, flip-flops, towels…? (I guess we obviously have to take our own swimwear). We have booked a private cabin, I don’t know if that has anything to do.
Thanks!

Thank you for your question.

We wish you a great time in Budapest!
I have a ticket watch with 15 entrance that I bought in November 2019. There are still some entrances left on it, and I had planned to visit Budapest in April 2020 and use the rest entrances then.
Normally it’s a one year valid but will you do some changes to this limit when you open again?
I’m a regular guest with 2-4 weeks in Budapest every year just to be in the thermal water.
Hello Roar,
We have contacted you via email.
Hi, me an a friend will be attending one of your baths next week on our holiday. I just wanted to query if the baths contain any chemicals or are chlorinated?
Thanks
Dear Beth,
yes, almost all of the thermal baths’ pools are chlorinated, except the pool in Rudas Bath in the wellness area.
Hai.i’m traveling with few of my muslim friends.what dress code do u suggest?
Dear Harini,
The general dress code in the baths is not very strict, usually we say “decent swimwear” is requested, but anything will do that qualifies as a swim wear for waters.
