Badstuer i Malmö
Sweden
Hva er de beste badstuene i Malmö?
Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city, sits on the Öresund strait 20 minutes by bridge from Copenhagen. Ribersborg Kallbadhus, a historic open-sea bathhouse on a pier extending into the Öresund, is Malmö's most distinctive sauna venue — separated by gender, swimwear-optional in single-gender sections, with open-air sea access for cold plunges in the strait. The city's regenerated Western Harbour district adds newer wellness venues. Swedish swimwear norms in mixed sessions. Malmö benefits from proximity to Copenhagen's design-forward floating sauna culture, making cross-strait sauna visits a natural combination.
