Helsinki Public Saunas: Sompasauna
This sauna with a wood-burning stove was built on the seashore in the Kalasatama area by a group of Helsinki volunteers and is maintained in order. She works on the principle of self-service - there are no permanent employees. Anyone can come to the sauna at any time of the day, flood the stove and enjoy the steam for free (however, in winter it is recommended to bring a small package of firewood and a bottle of water, which can be purchased at the nearest gas station). And visitors to this sauna are free to swim in the sea.
In another country, such a sauna would be a risky venture, but in a calm and respectable Helsinki it is safe. Good for budget travelers.
Address: The southern tip of the Kalasatama area, a 20-minute walk from Kalasatama Subway Station.
