Dagály Termálfürdő

Located in a working-class neighborhood, this off-the-beaten-path bathhouse was long considered an everyman’s bathhouse until the government decided to give it a makeover to use it as a venue to host the 17th FINA Aquatics World Championships in 2017. While many were worried that it would lose its basic charms, the results of the makeover were a delightful surprise to bathers old and new. There are discounts for families, which means it is still very much a part of the community and hasn't lost its roots. Local families come for the green space and to make use of the new facilities, including a large swimming pool, lazy river, playground, basketball court, and sunbeds. Visitors in the know come for the healing waters and authentic bathhouse experience. Located just off the riverfront, it also has a picturesque setting and good view of the Danube from the lookout point.

Palatinus fürdő

Dating to 1919, Palatinus Thermal and Open-air Bath was the first public outdoor bathhouse in the city and at that time was home to the largest pool in all of Europe. They added the wave pool and the Bauhaus main building designed by Janáky István in 1937. The entire complex received a refresh and upgrade in 2017. The complex includes full-length lap pools, waterslides, saunas, a geothermal steam room, and ten thermal pools (most of which are open year-round). The grounds are huge, and while there is a café on-site, you might want to pack your own food and drinks to picnic on the lawn. The indoor pools are spacious and open and not as busy as other thermal baths in the city.
