Hungarian thermal spas where you can welcome the New Year

As the year draws to a close, several thermal spas across the country are gearing up for a unique and memorable celebration. These 8 spas offer extended opening hours coupled with a diverse range of activities. 

Night spa parties

The tradition of welcoming the New Year with a night dip has become a staple in many spas. As highlighted by Termál Online, it’s advisable to secure your tickets in advance to avoid missing out on the festivities. Budapest’s thermal spas once celebrated the city’s birthday with a special offer of 150 forint tickets, providing a brief and affordable escape. However, this budget-friendly opportunity has concluded, and standard ticket prices have resumed. Though tickets may not be as cheap as they were during the birthday celebration, the experiences offered by the spas are undoubtedly worth the investment.
