your browser will ask first.

Hotels with saunas are great. But sometimes you don’t want to have to book a hotel. Plus, real sauna culture won’t be found in a hotel. For that you need community saunas, the best type of sauna. So that’s what this is: 14,485 community saunas located across the world. Municipal swim-and-sauna halls in Finland, sentōs in Tokyo, banyas in Brooklyn and Warsaw. See you in the sauna.

the questions

what counts as a public sauna?
Somewhere anyone can pay for a single visit: a bathhouse, a banya, an onsen, a municipal swim-and-sauna hall, a hammam, a mobile sauna by the session. No hotel stay, no membership. Hotel spas are included only when they sell a day pass to non-guests.
do i need a membership?
Not for the venues we've researched: each one sells a single visit. The rest of the map comes from open data and nobody has checked those yet, so they're marked unchecked. Confirm walk-in access before you go.
are the prices current?
Prices are shown only when we read them off the venue's own website, with the date we checked. Confirm before you travel.

venues marked unchecked come from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
