The ease of access to the site and the baths. The cleanliness of the thermal baths and the super easy access to the different pools. And above all, the wonderful temperature of 38 degrees.

Organizing the visit was very easy! The information provided and then explained by the host was very intuitive and easy to follow. Waiting times were short and everything went very smoothly! We are happy with our choice and will definitely be back for other activities and initiatives! Very good job!!

Hello, the tour on February 5, 2026, at 12 p.m. was very good. However, the meeting place with the guide, a very unpleasant woman who didn't even introduce herself—I don't know her first name—made no effort to help if you didn't understand English. This is the first time I've ever seen a guide who has no patience with tourists. She needs to change jobs.

The cruise took place in really pleasant conditions, the staff were very polite, and the view of Budapest at night was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it.

We took the boat trip at the beginning of February this year. We bought tickets for €12 and, what can I say, it was definitely worth it! The upper deck is open, so it was very cold, but there were blankets available to take up with you free of charge. Downstairs, there is plenty of space in the warmth with drinks and even a few snacks. The salami pizza was amazing! The views you get, especially on a night cruise, are spectacular. The Parliament is of course the number one attraction. We would definitely do it again!

We loved the old baths, the first ones you come to on the first floor. We spent most of our time there. The panoramic pool on the top floor was also marvellous. Totally reccomend a visit to these baths.

Renovated last in the 1800s, Király Baths have stood the test of time and its old-world charm will make anyone feel like they have traveled back in time. There are four pools in the Király Baths. The main pool resides beneath a quintessential Turkish dome. The bath area is lit only by natural sunlight that seeps in through the holes of the Turkish dome which creates a beautiful effect. The thermal baths at Király maintain temperatures between 78.8°F and 104°F and the medicinal waters that come from deep hot springs of the neighboring Lukács Baths contain minerals such as sodium and calcium.

Király Baths are known for their iconic Turkish dome and the traditional octagonal pool. The pool area is only lit with natural sunlight that seeps in through the many holes carved out in the dome. Király Baths are authentic Turkish thermal baths from medieval times. Turkish thermal baths, however, are not the same as the Turkish steam bath, also known as Hammam. At Budapest thermal baths, warm water with medicinal properties is used, while Turkish Hammam uses steam and hot water. Turkish thermal baths such as Király Baths are known as Ilidzas.

Király Baths retain the architectural elements of medieval Turkish baths. It was built in the 16th century. The building still holds a medieval charm with bricks and a dim-lit interior. The main attraction of the Baths is the octagonal pool under the central dome. Domes were an integral part of Ottoman architecture. The central dome over the main pool in Király Baths has holes to let natural sunlight into the bath. Around the pool are colorless arches, complimenting the Ottoman-style architecture. The floors are marbled, and baths tiled. There are benches around the main pool for visitors to rest. The overall design of the building is typical of the baroque style Ottoman architecture that prevailed in the period, and the same can be found in the design of the courtyard, small pools, and hallways.

Pools at Király Baths

Since the medieval periods, steam baths have been a part of many societies. At Király Baths, tourists can enjoy a steam bath in enclosed spaces where thermal water is filled to make steam. Steam, as much as geothermal water, is known for its medicinal properties.
