Saunas

Women: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun / Men: Tue, Thu, Sat. The oldest public swimming hall in Finland with beautiful classist architecture. Since there's no need to wear a bathing suit, men and women have separate days for swimming. The experience is all about buying ticket to the 2nd floor (opens in afternoon) - it includes access to the best saunas and you'll have your own restaurant table. The staff serves drinks and small traditional Finnish dishes.

Wonderful minimalistic sauna by the sea, located next to a 70's brutalist neighborhood. You can also take a swim in the sea or just enjoy the soothing view from a big window.

Parks & Nature

Accessible via Kauppatori, Suomenlinna is the old maritime fortress of Helsinki. Lots of ruins, museums and a very nice atmosphere (especially in the summertime). A really nice daytrip for the price of a single tram ticket! Don't forget your swimsuit.
