Lahteen Sauna is the oldest still functioning sauna in Helsinki opened around 1880 for the use of the former psychiatric hospital staff and patients and a hidden gem of the city only known by locals. Nowadays this historical piece is open to the public with a capacity of 10 people at a time. The seafront and the stunning setting of the hospital park offer a unique sauna experience in the heart of the city. The sauna is less than 100 metres from the beach. The sauna can accommodate up to 10 people at a time. The public shifts cost €10 (discount for groups €5). Private sauna shifts can take place between 1 PM and 11 PM.
