As temperatures soar across Europe during the current heatwave, Budapest has unveiled a timely summer attraction: a significantly expanded free beach on the banks of the Danube.
This is how people used to find refreshment in Budapest's baths and beaches 100 years ago.
This summer, Budapest invites locals and travelers alike to plunge into a fresh, uniquely urban swimming experience. On August 12, the Duna-fürdő Árasztó-part free beach officially opens its gates—exactly at noon.
On Saturday, July 26, the Hungarian Bathing Association will organize the Night of Beaches for the 16th time. This year, 51 Hungarian baths will join the program series.
From July, there will be a bath in Budapest every day of the week that will stay open until 10 pm in the summer heat.
There will be evening film screenings at the Széchenyi Bath, and from the beginning of July, the capital's baths will be open until 10 p.m. every day.
