Katja Pantzar : Helsinki by Sauna
Helsinki by Sauna invites readers to discover unique public saunas and explore the heart of Finnish culture. Experience unforgettable sauna moments across Helsinki’s urban and natural landscapes.
Suitable for: For sauna fans and travelers interested in exploring Helsinki's diverse sauna culture.
The international sauna boom continues to drive interest in the quintessential Finnish cultural experience - sauna - which is sought after by travellers to Helsinki. Sauna, one of the few Finnish words to make it into the international
lexicon, is a source of wellbeing and wisdom (with roots dating back 10,000 years) inscribed in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible
Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
This richly illustrated guide with full-colour photos offers up a curated list of 25-30 of Helsinki's diverse saunas. All are accessible to the public, ranging from urban design sauna complexes with bars and restaurants (including one owned by a Hollywood actor) to community saunas, a heritage smoke sauna tucked into the forest, and a cottage sauna on an island complete with a sea castle built by renowned Finnish-American architect Eliel Saarinen.
Helsinki by Sauna doubles as a travel memento and an aspirational travel guide for sauna fans who dream of a sauna journey to the Finnish capital.
