FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the bath parties in Budapest.
What are the minimum and maximum age to take part in the bath party?

Minimum age: 18 +
Maximum age: none

The nocturnal VJ Sparty bath parties are cool, fun and unforgettable. There is no upper age limit, but there is a lower age limit set at 18 years of age (if the party guards are in doubt, you will be asked to show your ID/passport as proof of age).
Even though there is no age limit set, the general party crowd is about 20 – 40 years old, mostly 20-30 somethings enjoying themselves.

What is the music like at the bath party?

The spa party music is mostly triphop, funk, psychedelic music, so if like this sort of music and can enjoy the spa bath parties continuously re-painted with colourful laser beams, it is your chance to come and enjoy something unique. A must-see in Budapest, Hungary.

Can I use the whole bath complex during the spa party?
No, only the outdoor pools are open, the indoor thermal pools, saunas, plunge pools, octagonal pools, massage therapies, etc. are closed. Your party ticket is only valid from after 10.30 pm when the party begins and is valid until 3 am when the party ends.

While summer and spring parties are in Szechenyi Baths offering fun for thousands of party-goers at the same time (capacity of over 2,000 people). If you visit Budapest in the wintertime, do book a ticket online as space is quickly booked up. The pre-NYE party is held in Szechenyi Baths, which is huge, but the tickets all sell out, so again, make sure to book in advance.

Szechenyi Bath Party Dec 30 pre – New Year’s Eve 2020

Szechenyi Baths steam clouded hot spring pools are the special place to be on Dec 30 in 2020.  The party is usually on Dec 30 (not on Dec 31) saying farewell to 2020 in style. Enjoy it as a pre-NYE party of the year!

Book tickets for the best party at New Year in Budapest: tickets coming soon, please check back soon.

Autumn and Wintertime parties (October – February) are also held in Szechenyi Bath. Parties are usually scheduled for Saturdays.

The spectacular Cinetrip Pool Party is 2x a year, one in August, around the Sziget Festival date, and another one on (normally) Dec 30 as a pre-NYE Party. They are HUGE!  No wonder Cinetrip editions are always the greatest hit in the summer and winter, as they are even more spectacular than the regular weekly bath parties with their own fireworks show!

The first Szecska sparty in 2020 starts from February.

Buying your party tickets online includes a locker (or a private cabin in the bonus tickets). Missed one party? No worries, come back to Budapest in a cheap flight, get a great hostel in Budapest, and enjoy the party every Saturday in the summer of 2020!

Booking Party Tickets: buy online tickets here on the web-based payment platform. We have put the upcoming party dates in the basket, so early runners win! Group tickets and single tickets sell out the fastest.

Please do not buy the day time bath ticket if you want to come to the party. The day time bath ticket is valid until 10 pm, the party ticket is valid from 10 pm until the end of the party. 2 different tickets!

The bath parties / sparties are in both the summer season and the winter season. Szechenyi Bath parties are usually in the summer months (with a few notable exceptions, like the best bath party, the Cinetrip Winter Edition in Szechenyi Furdo), late at night after the official closing hours from 10:30 pm to 3:00 am.

How much is the Entry to Szechenyi Bath Party?

As for the Szechenyi party entry prices in 2020, the party admission fee starts from €50 in Szechenyi Baths. If tickets remain, the price in Forint is HUF 16 000 for the normal (the cheapest) entry. The cheapest category is usually sold out online (single tickets and group discounts). Tickets on the spot are only regular (no fast track, no duo, no trio) tickets, a single entry without extras, if there is any remaining.

The entrance fee is somewhat higher than the amount of the general bath ticket for a weekend bath, and the two tickets are sold separately. See our Szechenyi Spa Baths Price List here. Please note that the Cinetrip Bath Party tickets are more expensive, as it is a special VIP party in early August.

That said, once in a while (1x or 2x a year, there is a special VIP party with amazing shows, lots of extras. These bath parties cost about 3x more than the standard bath parties.)

What should I wear for the Szechenyi Bath Party?

Szecska Night Bath Party at Szecshenyi Spa

Do I have to wear Szecska bath party clothes, a stylish fashion showpiece with a stiletto, a dancing queen dress, or should I just be bare naked?

No, all you have to bring along is nice swimwear, whatever you would like to don: bikini is just as fine as a one-piece, speedos, long trunks, surf-style swim shorts – it doesn’t matter. Bring some established swimwear. A towel will be very useful too. And maybe a gown, if you tend to be on the cold side on breezy summer nights.

Mind you, the temperature of the outdoor pools is as follows: one of the thermal pools is around 33 degrees Celsius (91 degrees Fahrenheit), the other thermal pool is much hotter, 38 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit). During the Sparty time, you can use the thermal pool dedicated to the party, but unfortunately, the sports swimming pool is not allowed to use.

We also recommend bringing your own flip flops or some waterproof slippers as all of the baths are covered in stone, which may harden the skin on your soles.

Don’t forget to bring your own towel.

Is there safe storage at the Szechenyi Spa Baths?

Cabins Corridor Szechenyi Bath Sparty Budapest Spa

“So if I wear a swimsuit, where can I put my bag, my documents, my camera, my clothes?” Yes, there are lockers and cabins in the baths where you can safely store all your belongings. That said, we do not recommend bringing along your Rolex watch, or diamond ring and other extremely posh valuables to the party. You will be in the water, you may even drink some glasses of alcohol during the party. It is better not to worry about precious items. And by the way, it is enough to carry around the photocopy of your passport, so there is no risk of losing it in the city.

The organizers of the Szecska Sparty do not take responsibility for lost or unguarded items. If something got lost call the Szecska Info Line, the official Szechenyi Bath Lost Item Phone number: + 36 1 363 32 10 extensions 351.

Can I Buy Tickets for the Bath Parties?

Sure you can. As long as there are tickets left for the party, they are available. However, as tickets quickly sell out, we recommend booking a party ticket in advance, also the currency rate online is pretty good. (the Szecska parties have become so hip and world-famous that we get intrigued tourists from all over the world). All party date links on this page lead to the payment link, where you need to register.

How to register on the payment page?

Pick a party date and the number of tickets on. Then click on the Next button at the bottom. Then follow the instructions.

Can I buy Bath Party Tickets in Advance?

Szechenyi Bath Party

Yes, you can very easily. If you want to be absolutely sure that you get in, you can buy your ticket in advance online. Also, online tickets are a guarantee that you will have your own locker (or private little cabin room in bonus tickets).

Another way to buy tickets is to take a walk to Szechenyi Spa Baths, possibly days before the party begins, any day between 6 am and 9 pm when the last cashier closes, and let the cashier know that you would like to buy a Spa Party ticket (‘Spahr-tee ye-jet kay-reck say-pen’ / I would like a Sparty ticket please).

As you are buying your party entry in advance you will get a VOUCHER not a traditional bath ticket for day use. When you come to the sparty, your voucher will be validated by the Budapest spa party personnel. If you should be lucky and can buy entry after 10 pm, you will get a normal ticket, which you can use to enter the party. What an administrative ticketing system…

Or, you can buy tickets in advance for the Szecska party in the city centre on Szabadsag Square at a nice cafe in the middle of the green park in the square called Cafe Hutte.

Are there any VIP tickets for Szecska Bath Party?

Yes, there is. Beers, wines, cocktails, juices and more can be bought on location with your special waterproof party card: basically, there is no cash payment, but you can buy party money with your cash or card for the Party Card. The Party Card has a string attached, so you can keep it safe with you in the water (around the neck, or arm).

 Please note, that you are not allowed to bring your own alcohol on the bath party premises.
Bottles, in general, are not allowed, as the bath is logically a splinter-free zone, so the cocktails, beers, other drinks are served in plastic cups: we wish to keep you and your feet safe.

Are the Szechenyi Spa Parties Wild?

Well, they are not tame, but we would not say that they are ‘wild parties’ either. Great parties, psychedelic music, laser visual effects, triphop, hip-hop, funk music, etc.

Can I take photos at the Bath Parties?

Yes, with a special photo/video permit. Please note, that photos and videos are taken at the parties which can include you, too. By entering the Szecska spa party, you automatically accept that you might appear in the photos and video recordings.

These superb effects can be seen at Water Circus Spa Parties / Cinetrip parties at Szechenyi Spa Baths. Szecska is slightly more modest, but you can get a feel of the atmosphere easily.

The winter season of the Bath Parties used to be held in Lukacs Bath, but from 2018 all Parties take place in Szechenyi Baths. Enjoy your Budapest stay, and probably one of the best parties in the city!

History of Budapest Bath Parties
The idea of a party in a thermal bath was born in 1994 by L. Laki Laszlo, who later became the founder of Cinetrip. The first Sparty (however not under this name yet) was held in Szechenyi Baths – but only for a bigger group of friends of the organisers.
Regular Sparties for the public audience started in 1998 in Rudas Bath (and occasionally in Gellert, Kiraly and Lukacs Baths).

The secret of the huge success of the Sparty is not merely that it’s the only bath party in the world, but its unique music and the visual world too – featuring video projection mapping. Video projection mapping (the newest visual genre of the 21st century) is a special projection technology that uses different objects (for example buildings, in this case) as a display surface.

Lukacs Baths used to be the home of winter Bath Parties, but in 2018 the bigger Szechenyi Baths became the permanent venue due to high demand and increased popularity of the Sparty series.
