Updated 16 Nov 2025How to book a sauna in Oslo
Norway's sauna culture spans the Oslofjord, Bergen's Vågen harbor, Tromsø's Arctic waterfront, and coastal towns like Bodø. Floating operators (KOK, SALT, Pust, Bademaschinen) sit beside community-run rafts and municipal pools. Most venues require advance booking, while select public saunas still offer drop-in sessions. See our Oslo saunas guide for detailed recommendations.
