Summer Chilling: You Can Swim for Free in Budapest - in the Danube

• 15 Aug 2023 11:16 AM

One of Budapest’s most popular summer attractions, the riverside beach spot of Plázs at Római-part in Óbuda, welcoms bathers until the public holiday of 20 August.

The only spot within Budapest along the Danube where you can swim, this open-air beach is now in its third year and is completely free of charge.

Visitors can use the showers, sunbeds and cycle storage, as well as take advantage of the nappy-change facilities and free drinking water.

Monitored by lifeguards, Plázs has its water and UV radiation checked at regular intervals to ensure a safe day out for all the family.

Plázs, Budapest 1039, Kossuth Lajos üdülőpart 15-17.
