Leányfalu’s Thermal Bath throws open its doors late every Friday and Saturday, turning the quiet town on the Danube Bend into a steamy, music-filled escape. From 20:00 to midnight all year, young revelers, chilled-out couples, and friend groups soak under the stars in hot pools while DJs spin feel-good tracks. The vibe is relaxed, the water is warm, and the night is yours to drift through mineral-scented steam and soft lights.
The ticket window is open from 20:00 to 22:30, and the party runs until 24:00. The two star attractions — the hot-water experience pool and the hot medicinal pool — operate from 20:00 to 23:45. Tickets for the night session cost 13.70 USD between 20:00 and 24:00. Heads-up: season passes don’t apply for these nocturnal swims, so bring a card or cash for entry.
Thermal waters that actually work
Leányfalu’s medicinal water is famous for a reason. Regulars swear by its calming effect, and many come specifically to ease nerve pain and muscle aches — or just to drop their shoulders after a long week. Between immersions, the Sauna House is open, with a classic dry sauna and a steam cabin to deepen the unwind. You can move between pools and heat rooms at your own pace until just before midnight, when the outdoor mist starts to glow and the last songs fade out.
Where to find it and when to go
The address is Móricz Zsigmond Street (Móricz Zs. u.) 142, Leányfalu, and night bathing runs every Friday and Saturday year-round. The rhythm never changes: ticket office 20:00–22:30, pools 20:00–23:45, night session 20:00–24:00. It’s a simple setup with a predictable cadence — arrive after sunset, slip into the water, linger until the last bell. Organizers reserve the right to change the schedule and program, so it’s worth calling ahead if the weather looks wild or it’s a holiday weekend.
Stay the night in the Danube Bend
Leányfalu leans into slow travel, and the accommodations match the mood. A family-style guesthouse welcomes visitors who want a cozy base — think a homelike atmosphere across 6 rooms, with space for up to 14 guests at once. It’s intimate but professionally run, so you get warmth without the rough edges. For a classic hotel option, the three-star Villa Székely sits right in the heart of town, only a few minutes’ walk from both the Danube and the thermal bath. It’s made for multigenerational trips: kids, parents, and grandparents all find their groove here, whether that’s early swims, long breakfasts, or late-night returns from the steam.
Make it a ritual
The night bath isn’t a one-off event; it’s a standing invitation. Bring friends for a low-key celebration, bring sore muscles for a reset, or bring your week and let it dissolve in 104-degree warmth. Dress for the season, pack slippers and a towel, and arrive ready to do very little — on purpose. Leányfalu will take it from there.
