Saunas in Berlin
Germany
What are the best saunas in Berlin?
Berlin's sauna culture is as varied as the city itself. Vabali Spa in Tiergarten is the flagship — a 20,000 m² Balinese-inspired Saunalandschaft with 11 saunas, outdoor pools, and Aufguss on fixed schedules. Liquidrom in Mitte adds a float-pool and sound-immersion dimension to its sauna offerings. The city has a well-established gay sauna scene centred on venues like Stahlrohr and Böcklerpark, while district Stadtbäder (Tempelhof, Kreuzberg, Neukölln) offer affordable neighbourhood Saunen. Berlin's sauna etiquette follows the German standard: textile-free inside the saunas, swimwear in connecting pool areas, voices low, phones away. Aufguss ceremonies are the social anchor of most larger venues.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Saunalandschaft?
A Saunalandschaft is a large German sauna complex combining multiple saunas, steam rooms, cold plunges, outdoor areas, and often Aufguss ceremonies. Vabali Spa and Liquidrom are the Berlin reference points.
What is an Aufguss ceremony?
Aufguss is a guided sauna ritual where a 'Saunameister' pours water infused with essential oils on the hot rocks, then fans the steam around the sauna with a towel. Sessions run 10–15 minutes on a fixed schedule throughout the day.
Do I wear a swimsuit in a Berlin sauna?
No, swimsuits are not permitted in the actual saunas at most Berlin venues. You bring a large towel to sit on. Bathrobes are worn between sauna rounds.
