Yrjönkatu's Swimming Hall / Yrjönkadun Uimahalli



It’s nearly impossible to mention Helsinki’s hidden treasures without talking about Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall, an architectural Nordic Classicist-style marvel, which not only is one of Finland’s first and oldest public indoor swimming hall, but also hosts different saunas (steam, wooden, you name it), including one of the largest wooden sauna stoves in Finland, as well as a café, where you can stop by to have a drink or small meal, called Cafe Yrjö.



There are two ways to enjoy the venue. The simple, and cheapest, is by buying access to the 1rst floor, swimming hall. For further indulgence, and a true Finnish experience, buy a 2nd floor fare which includes access to swimming pool, different saunas, individual resting cabin, and café.
Good to know : The swimming pool has separate days for men and women (Women: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun. Men: Tue, Thu, Sat). Also, swimming in the nude is the norm here.
