Public saunas

Finns love sauna, there are about 3 million saunas in Finland with about 5.6 million people! Many have their own sauna, but the tradition of public saunas has become popular again. The map lists some popular public saunas in Helsinki; some have the possibility for swimming, some are just saunas. In saunas separated for men and women, people bathe naked, but in mixed-gender public saunas, people wear swimsuits.
