Massive night beach holiday coming up in Hungary!

If you love a good beach time in this summer heat, you’ve come to the right place. At the initiative of the Hungarian Bathing Association (Magyar Fürdőszövetség), the Night of the Beaches will be held again this year on 29 July. On this day, Hungarian baths are expected to be full of people wanting nothing but a good cold bath. 2023 marks the 11th edition of the Night of the Beaches. 

The 11th Night of the Beaches – 29 July, Saturday

Zoltán Balogh, the secretary general of the Hungarian Bathing Association told MTI, the Hungarian News Agency, that they are waiting for applications until mid-July from bathing establishments that can accommodate bathers until late at night. So far, a dozen spas have joined the programme.

Every year on the last Saturday of July, dozens of beaches, spas, thermal baths and aqua parks across the country offer extended opening hours and special programmes, he added.

Special beach programmes and discounts

Last year, tens of thousands of guests visited the more than 40 bathing establishments participating in the programme on the Night of the Beaches. Spas are free to organise local activities and offer discounts to guests. Each spa can adapt its own opening hours to its own timetable, and there is no charge for members of the association to join the programme, they said.
