We found two entrances to the baths, one with access directly to the indoor pools, and the other central, with access to the open area. I would divide the baths into outdoor pools and indoor ones with saunas. As well as visiting times, daytime and evening. It is much more pleasant to be in an outdoor pool in winter, when the air temperature is +6 degrees, the steam above the pools heats the air. The most difficult thing is to force yourself to get out, but you can warm up in the saunas at both ends of the complex. I have the impression that most people prefer to relax in the open air. Indoor pools are located in walk-through rooms, so we only got to some of them on the second day :-) There are a lot of visitors, but there is no need to be afraid, there were no inappropriate ones. We took booths for 6200 forints, although all things can also be placed in boxes for 5700. You can rent slippers and towels (1000 and 2000 forints respectively), but when we saw the line in the basement, we decided it was better to buy, especially since we were going to visit the baths for two days. Surprisingly, the slips and towels are very high quality. There were lines that lasted 30-40 minutes, but this was during peak times, during lunch, and this may be due to the limitation on the number of free booths and boxes. Allow at least 4 hours, otherwise you simply won’t have time to visit all the pools and saunas. And of course it’s better to go in a group, it will be more fun :-)
