The Szechenyi bath, another very popular spa for both locals and tourists offers a sizable sun bathing area, which surrounds 3 pools of different temperatures. The temperature ranges from 27ºC/80.6ºF to 34ºC/93ºF with the hottest 38ºC/100.4ºF. Winter or summer, chess is played in the shallow waters of the 34ºC/93ºF water of one of the pools. the interesting thing is that this Bath was established by accidentally finding a hot spring gushing out 38ºC/100.4ºF water when drilling for a water well. The temperature and pressure is always consistent and the cooler pool temperatures are controlled down by adding cold water.

The Spa construction finished in 1913 in a neo baroque style. It is the largest of it's kind in Europe. The minerals in the water are effective in healing dermatological problems, gynecological disorders as well as diseases of the nervous and digestive systems.

The location is easy to find since the spa is located behind Hero's Square in the lush surroundings of the City Park. the yellow subway/metro stops right at the entrance.
