Id defo recommend this. This outdoor pool is heated even though its huge, its reasonably priced to get in and its a 20-25 min walk from the city centre.

They look like the pools I went to last year, very cool place, they have loads of pools of varying temperatures, saunas and you can get massages if you want. Definitely check it out if you can.

If you wanna try something different I'd definitely recommend Celeritas Shooting Club. It's pricey enough but it lasts several hours, you get to shoot all sorts of different guns at a range, some famous ones also like Dirty Harry's revolver, would highly recommend it.

Definitely worth going up to Gelart Hill also, some amazing views of the city up there and you can get a taxi all the way to the top and then walk back to the city, hitting some bars along the way.

As for nightlife there's a great spot called Szimpla, it's one of what they call "ruin pubs", disused buildings that aren't suitable for living in but they turn them into pubs! Great buzz about the place.

There was another good spot, but the name alludes me right now, it was on the top floor of a big enough building and they use the roof as a beer garden and have bands play up there as well. I'll update if I remember the name!

If you want something a bit different try Icebar Budapest. It's a bar made entirely of ice, they give you gloves and a big coat going in and you get little cocktails made served in carved out ice cubes. It's a bit of a novelty thing though so you wouldn't spend more then 25/30mins there.

I highly recommend the baths, they are a great cure if you've had too much of the local brew the night before!
