There is an array of public saunas all over Helsinki and here is a list of the most popular ones.
The Finns believe that saunas are not only a fun recreational activity but also a relaxing way to unwind. Public saunas are somewhat of a unique experience in Helsinki that one must cherish as not only are they refreshing but also a communal activity to partake in. If you have not yet visited a public sauna, remember to read up on sauna etiquette.
