This is a great way to unwind. Go upstairs, relax a bit, have drinks and a snack then hit the sauna and go for a nice dip in the pool. Coming from America, it's a great relief to leave behind your clothing and just swim and relax. The building is a walk back in time and a delight to see.

Great atmosphere and beautiful place. Often crowded. Would recommend trying the "upstairs experience" where you get to sauna in a wood heated sauna (the best kind) and... More

In Istanbul you can try hamam bath, in Helsinki you can visit Yrjonkadun Swimming Hall. Lucky me, I was there on a Sunday and Sundays are for women only. This setup with different opening hours for men and women creates a... More

This is an absolute gem of Finnish architecture and culture, and should not be missed. Every visitor to this part of the world should try a sauna anyway, it is such a feature of local life. The swimming is clothes optional (different days for men and women) but no-one minds if you keep your swimsuit on. During my visit most... More
