Please note that Széchenyi Bath is not fully accessible.
At Gellért Bath, entry is via the thermal areas. The accessible sections include the women’s thermal pools, saunas, the swimming pool, and the small jacuzzi area. Wheelchair-accessible lifts are available on both the women’s and men’s sides, providing access to the swimming pool. However, the outdoor area is not accessible.
The pools equipped with hoists are the women’s 38°C thermal pool and the large jacuzzi in the swimming pool area (27°C).
Currently, there are two Budapest thermal baths ready to accept wheelchair users, not only with accessible entry points and routes but also with lifts that can elevate the wheelchair user directly in the pool.
These two thermal spas are perhaps lesser known but excellent choices. Paskal Thermal Bath is in the green Zuglo district of Budapest with low ramp public buses (or you can hire a private wheelchair accessible transfer to the baths). The driving distance is estimated at approx. 25 min from Deak Square, the heart of the city. Pesterzsebeti Thermal Bath is also away from Budapest city centre in the southern zone of the city, in Csepel District (approx. 20 min ride by taxi / private transport). Before making a visit, to avoid any unpleasant surprises, kindly make sure to inquire about the updates regarding the state of the lift as occasionally they may be out of order.
