About This Experience

Beer Spa Budapest runs this session at the Széchenyi address in City Park. You get 45 minutes in a handcrafted wooden tub filled with warm thermal water infused with hops, malt and a beer salt blend, and a copper tap of Hungarian draft beer that you pour yourself, as often as you like. A host gives you a welcome briefing on arrival, and a private, lockable changing cabin is included. The optional add-on is a full-day Széchenyi ticket with skip-the-line entry and a private changing room, so you can spend the rest of the day in the main pools.

Arrive at least 20 minutes before your slot to get changed and hear the briefing. Once in the main hall, do not stop at the information desk: the provider asks you to turn left into the corridor and go straight to the BeerSpa reception. It opens at 10:00 and the provider asks you not to arrive earlier. If you add Széchenyi, the bath is open 7:00-20:00 Monday to Thursday, 7:00-22:00 on Friday and 8:00-20:00 at weekends, with a 36-38 °C outdoor thermal pool, a 32-34 °C leisure pool and a 26-28 °C swimming pool where a swim cap is compulsory.

Reviews are warm and consistent. Guests describe the session as fun and calming, enjoy having draft beer on tap right beside the tub and say their skin felt soft afterwards. One reviewer noted that staff let them fill up once more at the end, and several felt it was a good reset after days of walking around the city. Those who added Széchenyi liked having the main bath straight after. One guest wanted to make the trip for the beer spa alone. The only complaint in the sample is that the changing space was a little small.

On dates we checked in late October 2026, the beer spa alone cost about $101, and about $157 with full-day Széchenyi entry. The listing shows 4.4 from 94 reviews. It suits couples and groups of friends who want something playful and are happy drinking beer at midday. It is not for under-18s or pregnant women, and anyone who does not drink will be paying for an unused tap. If you have never been to Széchenyi, the add-on turns a 45-minute novelty into a full day.

Bring your own slippers, which are compulsory in the bath area, and a towel, or pay 5,000 HUF for one on site. If you take the Széchenyi add-on, a swim cap is also needed for the swimming pool, and the bath’s shops take cards only. To compare this session with the Lukács beer spa on the other side of the river, see our Budapest beer spa page, which covers prices, add-ons and which bath each one pairs with.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.4/5 by 94 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

A really fun and relaxing experience; considering we didn't know what to expect, but the beer spa was very calming and it was fun to have draft beer on tap right next to us! Changing space was a little small but otherwise everything was great.

A very novel way to spend an hour or so. We didn't do the main spa but it was worth the journey there just for the beer spa. Would recommend, especially after looks of walking & sight seeing.

We booked the beer spa with Széchenyi add on & absolutely loved it! The beer spa was one of our favourite experiences during our time in Budapest. Skin felt so soft afterwards. Loved that you could pull unlimited pints for the full experience time & the staff even let you fill up once more at the end. The private changing rooms are a great addition & having access to the spa afterwards was great too!

Do I bathe in actual beer?

No. The tub holds warm thermal water infused with hops, malt and a beer salt blend. The beer you drink comes from the tap beside you. Reviewers say their skin felt soft afterwards. You can shower before getting dressed in your private changing cabin, and if you added Széchenyi, head on to the thermal pools.

Should I add the Széchenyi ticket?

If you have not been to Széchenyi yet, it is worth it. On dates we checked, the beer spa alone was about $101 and about $157 with a full-day Széchenyi ticket including skip-the-line entry and a private changing room. Reviewers who took both liked going straight into the main pools afterwards. See Széchenyi tickets for the standalone options.
