Kulttuurisauna Public Sauna

Very much a positive surprise. Not necessarily a ”traditional” finnish sauna experience, but it’s even exotic, as well as a unique experience for locals. Astetics are extremely relaxing, not a place for a conversational date, as much as a meditative experience. The lights and mood make for some romantic experience but I imagine it being more interesting for couples who been together a long time or friends who just want to hangout in silence. Bring your own towel, swimwear and a sauna mat. Book well in advance if you want a specific time, but if you’re alone you might get lucky and get a yourself a slot.

It was actually my go to place until recently. The peace and quiet has been ruined by the new bridge. Theres no privacy anymore while swimming and there are annoyingly loud skateboarder teenagers also who choose to totally ruin the experience of the place with their noise. Please do something!

A minimalist’s dream. The space feels super cozy. Smells of coffee throughout. Staff welcoming and friendly. Got really busy as the afternoon went on - get there early for more space. Women’s sauna was full of yapping throughout which was annoying but couldn’t ruin a wonderful experience. The löyly in the sauna packed a punch with the large ladle provided. Felt like a good communal experience with everyone taking turns filling up and creating löyly. Would be great if the women weren’t yapping away, but beyond that, 5 stars. The space + wood fired heater combo is too strong, and happily will look over that one tiny detail.

New booking system indeed makes it easier to see how it will be crowded, with still enough capacity even for last minute booking on Sunday evening. Excellent and very relaxing sauna experience, my best sauna ever, highly recommended!! As of June 2024) Seems that a new road/bridge for tram is under development, hope the access becomes a bit easier. https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/19845-construction-of-the-crown-bridges-tramway-project-is-about-to-start-this-autumn.html

Obviously, when you’re in Finland you want to go to a sauna. Skip the tourist stuff, skip the fancy drinks, views and prices. Go to an original Finnish sauna, the way a sauna should be: you undress, you shower, you sit down in the sauna room, you sweat, you pour some water on the hot coals, you sweat some more; you walk outside and you jump in the harbor to cool off. Repeat! They offer tea and cold water for drinks. And that’s all you want. The very best part of this: Friday is quiet day, no talking in the sauna! A total steal for €17 for the maximum time of an hour and a half. I recommend reservations, because there is a limited number of guests per timeslot. It’s the absolute best public sauna I’ve had in Finland! (No photos for obvious reasons)

Came here for a rainy morning sauna session and really enjoyed it. The place has a rustic charm, very peaceful and aesthetic. The courtyard was lovely too. We had a great swim. Just a heads up, the price is on the higher side, especially when you need to bring everything yourself. I’d come back for the experience, but probably not too often because of the cost.

Lovely place! Incredibly calm and run by nice people.

Best sauna experience. Not too dry. Go early to beat the rush. The cold sea dip facility is a great experience too.
