Palatinus Strand Bath

The Palatinus Gyógy-, Strand- és Hullámfürdő lies on Margaret Island at 1007 Budapest, Margitsziget, and is run by Budapest Gyógyfürdői és Hévizei Zrt., the municipal company that also operates the Széchenyi bath. It is reached by bus 26, with the operator's own minibus running in the summer season. The bath combines an indoor medicinal section, a large outdoor beach complex of thermal, adventure and beach pools, a wave pool, a slide park, sports courts and a playground.
