There is nothing that screams more Finnish than an authentic Finnish sauna. Sauna culture has been important to Finns throughout history. In the sauna we cleanse our bodies and our minds. When it gets too hot we go out to cool off and then we head back in again. There are plenty of places to have a sauna experience in Helsinki. Allas Pool’s saunas and outdoor pools float right next to the Market Square, City Hall and Presidential Palace, so the view from Allas is pretty great. Allas has a heated pool and a pool that is the same temperature as the sea water. Löyly is a modern seaside sauna with a traditional smoke-sauna and a wood-burning sauna. Löyly’s outdoor seating area is ideal to cool off after a good steam and from the seating area you can descend the steps and dip into the Baltic Sea. In Lonna, a small island short ferry ride away from the city center, you may experience archipelago atmosphere in a picturesque, modern yet traditional wooden sauna. The most traditional public sauna, representing the decades old tradition in the urban environment, is Kotiharju sauna in Kallio. Feel the real city vibe on the sauna benches, where true Helsinkians have sat through the years.

You can also find these on the map.
