Good to know · City saunas

A Finnish sauna usually runs at 80 to 100 degrees with dry air, bio saunas and sanariums at 50 to 65, steam rooms and hammams at around 45 degrees with high humidity. Most Swiss saunas are textile-free — with a towel under your whole body.

A round lasts eight to fifteen minutes, then cool off in cold water and rest at least as long. Three rounds are enough. If you’re new, sit on the lower bench, it’s less hot there.
