Public Saunas in Stockholm (2026 Guide)
Stockholm's public sauna scene splits between historic bathhouses (Centralbadet, Sturebadet) and newer floating saunas in the harbour. The old bathhouses retain much of their early-1900s architecture and run single-gender traditional sessions; the floating pavilions run modern mixed sessions.
