‘A place for everybody’: Stockholm to open its first publicly run sauna
Stockholm is set to open its first publicly run sauna in Hornstull this June, aiming to provide accessible sauna experiences for all. The initiative comes in response to the long waiting lists at private sauna clubs in the city. This pilot project is part of a broader effort to create more membership-free saunas in the Swedish capital.
- ▪The new sauna will be located in Hornstull, a neighborhood in Södermalm.
- ▪The project costs 5.5 million Swedish kronor and aims to be accessible to all residents and visitors.
- ▪Stockholm has been criticized for its lack of public saunas compared to other Nordic cities like Oslo and Helsinki.
