The online-only fast track adds 2,000 HUF. Go before 9:00 on a weekday for the cheaper &ldquo;Good Morning&rdquo; ticket (10,500 HUF, about €29) and the emptiest pools. Book online if your date is fixed, or through a reseller with free cancellation if it isn&rsquo;t. Children under 14 are not admitted.</div> </div> </div> <p>Széchenyi Baths keep their main outdoor pool at 36–38 °C all year. That&rsquo;s the whole appeal, and in January it&rsquo;s also why half of Budapest seems to be in it with you. The soak itself is easy. The part people get wrong is the ticket: which one, where to buy it, and whether paying extra to skip the queue makes sense.</p>
