Every October, Hungary turns up the heat with Sauna Weekend, organized for the eighth time by the Hungarian Bath Association (Magyar Fürdőszövetség). This nationwide sauna festival returns on October 4-5, 2025, welcoming wellness fans to experience the rejuvenating effects of sauna rituals across multiple towns and venues.
United Sauna Session: Aroma and Relaxation
A highlight of the weekend takes place at 4 PM on Saturday, when participating bathhouses across the country simultaneously deliver the same program: themed sauna sessions with synchronized music, enchanting scents, and jaw-dropping sauna master techniques. Expect aromatherapy, herbal steams, and the guidance of certified sauna masters—basically, bliss for body and mind. Each venue brings its own flair, with options like Finnish sauna, bio sauna, steam rooms, and infrared cabins to suit every taste.
Wellness After Dark and Sweet Deals
Many spas extend their hours for night sauna experiences, perfect for unwinding or socializing late into the night. Several places go the extra mile, offering exclusive discounts or bonus services—think cheaper tickets or freebies you’d normally pay for on any other weekend.
How to Prepare
Choose your nearest participating bath, check their opening hours (especially for late-night events), and look into ticket prices or special offers. Pack your swimsuit, towel, flip-flops, and maybe your favorite body oil. If you’re aiming for a popular spot, book your accommodations early—wellness getaways are in high demand. Organizers reserve the right to change the schedule or programs, so stay updated!
