Price hike in Budapest’s historic baths today after years
With the Zsigmondy Club Card, you can get a significant discount at the Széchenyi, Gellért and Rudas spas. This year, even with the card, you will have to pay more if you want to visit these historic baths.
This year, for the first time in years, bathing with the Zsigmondy Club Card will become significantly more expensive.

Price increase even with Zsigmondy Club Card
Bathers could only protect themselves against spiralling utility bills and high inflation with the club card. So far, the Zsigmondy Club Card for Budapest’s historic baths has been available for HUF 3,500 (EUR 9.34) a session in places that otherwise cost around HUF 10,000 (EUR 26.68), according to spabook.net.
The change does not affect the prices of season tickets or tickets available at the box office, napi.hu warns.
Zsigmondy Club members can now enjoy the bathing services provided by the spas for up to 4 hours once a day, from 4 July 2023 for HUF 4,000 (EUR 10.67) on weekdays and HUF 4,500 (EUR 12) on weekends – Budapest Gyógyfürdői és Hévizei Zrt. (BGYH) announced on its website.
Brutal increase in the price of weekend tickets
Weekday tickets will be 14.3 percent more expensive, while tickets for weekends will be 28.6 percent more expensive from 4 July. For regular visitors and those who come several times a week, or even daily, the BGYH season ticket system offers much cheaper (up to HUF 1300-1500 [EUR 3.47-4]) tickets.
It’s not only baths and spas but also aquaparks that need to increase their prices due to the current economic situation. We wrote about the price hikes even in the cheapest water parks in THIS article. You might find your favourite one there…
NOTHING is GETTING Cheaper in Budapest, Hungary.
Pleasure times for FAMILIES – those from lower middle class to LOWER Class – the Hard Working Fathers and Mothers – in millions – possible barely surviving, with “little ones” rent and house mortgages, the CONTINUOUS cost of living – the out of control INCREASES, that one individual of his own accord – Victor Orban – his total ownership, has FACTUALLY created & manufactured – this cataclysmic economic DISASTER in Hungary – we are LIVING, which continues to WORSEN.
Orban – has dictated this path he has led us on as a country, this somewhat PERILOUS path, that has reached a time, that its REVERSAL – to stem and control or STABLELIZE the entire picture of the Economic and Financial future of Hungary, is QUESTIONABLE or Dubious.
Orban has “Demolished” the core componentry of us as a country being a Democracy.
Hungary, through the Orban dictatorial agenda – the Power Games against the European Union, the legally judged WRONGFULNESS of undertakings on funding, the “abuse” imposed directed at the European Union, signed off – driven by Victor Orban and his Government, leaves us, in our European Union Membership in a “purgatory” position.
Future funding – whilst the name of Orban is seen and his signature appears as Prime Minister of Hungary on documentation in Brussels, that we Hungary will see no FAVOURS nor assistance.
Hungary we are in a Black Hole and the Nadir, of our descending into deeper darker times, grows.
I thought that once Hungarians began to suffer in earnest, really suffer economically, they’d throw off the Orbán shackles and begin to benefit from the EU, gain some degree of respect in the civilized world, and build a country to be proud of. It appears I was wrong.
