If you're in Helsinki and want to experience a sauna, Allas Sea Pool is a great choice. It’s this modern outdoor sauna-and-pool complex right by the harbor, with insane views of the sea, ferries, and the city skyline.

They have warm pools, a sea-water pool and several saunas. In summer, the whole place feels super lively with a big outdoor terrace where you can grab drinks or snacks. In winter, it’s cozier, think steaming pools, cold air, and that very Finnish sauna vibe.

This is such a unique Helsinki experience. You’re basically swimming on the edge of the Baltic Sea with the city right behind you.

GOOD TO KNOW:

– Bring your swimsuit + flip-flops

– You can rent towels if you need them

– It can get busy on weekends

– Sunrise and sunset are perfect for photos!

Even if you don’t go in for the sauna or a swim, it’s still worth stopping by for photos!
