How we chose

Slow Hours is an independent guide; no place has paid for its spot. The list only includes saunas whose prices and opening hours are published by the operator, that you can visit without a membership, and that are open or in season right now. Each pick stands for an occasion the others do not cover as well. The order is not a ranking.

Prices, hours and dress codes come from the Slow Hours database, which is checked against the sources every month. If a place closes, it drops off the list automatically. More saunas by occasion: Aufguss, With ice bath, Wood-fired, Outdoor, Cheap, Late night, On Sunday.
