A full day at Budapest’s Széchenyi Spa with 3 outdoor and 15 indoor thermal pools, plus optional cabin upgrades for comfort.
“The outdoor pools are amazing. Indoor are a little grubby and run down but ok. Definitely get a private cabin to keep everything and get changed in private”
Visit the Hungarian Parliament with a multilingual audio guide, plus an orientation walk around Kossuth Square and its monuments.
“The tour itself takes 45 minutes. You meet the guide outside the entrance and they get your tickets, explain about going through security, etc. Then you are given headsets where you can pick your language. There is a WC right before you enter. Since I picked the day the taxis were on strike and had already walked a lot (!) there was an elevator to take me up the 4 floors. I was able to walk down just fine. The guides themselves were very kind! While the tour is fairly short the history and building are amazing. As an older, solo traveler, I was pleased I had chosen this!”

Skip-the-line entry to Budapest’s Széchenyi Baths with a private cabin, plus an optional Pálinka Museum visit for real Hungarian flavor.
“Absolutely amazing experience. We purchased a changing room lockable area, worth the money. Nice and clean throughout. Take two towels & your flip flops- you can buy these also from the spa shop. We visited the spa during winter and our towels got damp outside hung up so next time I’d take 2 towels. Swimming cap needed if you want to go in the lane swimming outdoor pool. We really enjoyed our visit! Staff very friendly and helpful. Very good value for money”

“This experience was very expensive. We paid a lot of money for a dip in a fancy “hot tub”. It was underwhelming at best. There should’ve been an option to pay for a two hour experience. There was not. We paid for a full day experience for two. There wasn’t enough to do there for a full day.”
