Hungary’s thermal baths are ready for a big reopening in March
Due to economic reasons or maintenance work, some thermal baths have closed down in Hungary. However, in March, they will reopen and welcome those who would like to have a nice spa day upon the arrival of spring.
Akácliget Thermal Bath
In the Akácliget Thermal Bath, only one therapeutic water pool has been available since the beginning of the year. Spa treatments were halted, but rheumatology outpatient appointments are still provided. Nevertheless, guests are able to book accommodation. However, this period only lasted two months, as from 1 March, all the treatments will be on offer again. The thermal bath announced on its Facebook page: “For healthy lifestyle enthusiasts, our wellness department can be visited again upon prior registration..”.

The indoor experience bath at Lenti Thermal Bath reopens
The indoor adventure pool belonging to the Lenti Thermal Bath has been on maintenance break since 9 January, writes termalonline.hu. Since then, the spa pool, the semi-covered hydromassage pool, the swimming and learning pool, the sauna world and the energy park have been in operation. But after nearly two months, the indoor experience bath reopens and guests can enjoy the adventure pool again. You can visit the pool from Monday to Sunday, between 10 AM and 7 PM.
In addition, guests can soak in the healing waters which are well-known for their therapeutic properties. In the 3,500 m2 indoor spa, guests have access to 4 pools, one semi-covered pool and a 630 m2 relaxation area.
Anna Bath
As a cost-saving measure, Anna Fürdő shut its door on 19 December. This was agreed upon by the general assembly of the city of Szeged in October. In recent months, only physiotherapy and electrotherapy treatments were available. However, on 3 March, the spa will reopen, and guests will be able to use the balneotherapy treatments again.
Siklós Thermal Spa
On 9 January, Siklós Thermal Spa Complex and the adjoining Hotel Castello were closed down. However, you do not have to wait long for the reopening, as from 10 March, both the spa and the hotel await guests.

Entry Cost Factor – Family and Single.
Rudas Furdo, Budapest, Hungary, that I frequent on a regular basics, as a 73 year old – spiralling up-wards entrance cost – which now is 6300 huf – cubicle and “traditional” bath pool area ONLY.
Thats a Monday to Friday rate, which Saturday & Sunday – no doubt HIGHER.
I take my own towel. bathing attire and thongs.
If I did not – the entrance cost would be HIGHER.
AFFORDABILITY – family affordability – the dramatic cost increases post February 2020 and the Russian War on the Ukraine.
My opinion, we continue to see “pleasure family places” – being PRICED out of the AVERAGE Hungarians ability to PAY and use these facilities, which same applies to Lake Balaton – WRONGFUL.
Nothing continues to get CHEAPER in Budapest, Hungary.
Some places are not the cheapest, but Hungary is blessed with all these natural resources. The only places where are more bathing in thermal waters is Japan. Few years ago I took some of my Japanese friends to the Gellert too, but many others are cheaper. I can hardly wait when I get back to Hungary to go to many of these hot springs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgb2qCHHot8 this is from Kurokava onsen, furdo varos a Kyushu sziget kozepen, nagyon szep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avgLRN4lfx8 This one is in Nigata area on the east side of the Honshu main island.
