You have to experience the sauna and spa treatments at Forum Sauna for yourself. Once you’ve visited us, you’ll want to come back again – welcome!
Arrive at the sauna to quiet down, or offer your children a traditional way to get acquainted with our sauna culture. We also perform old folk healing treatments, such as cupping and peat treatments. If, on the other hand, you want to enjoy treatments tailored according to different seasons, there’s plenty to choose from.
We also have various spa treatments from which you will surely find the perfect one for you. How about a rose sauna, celebration or bachelorette wash, or perhaps a life-salt bath? We offer something for children, adults, youth, and the elderly – also for the forever young.
On Fridays, you are welcome to the public sauna from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Men and women have separate sauna and dressing areas.

Forum Sauna was established in 1926. At that time, the location was Yliopistonkatu 15, which had large sauna facilities with separate sections for men and women. Our family has owned the sauna since 1965. Then my father, Kalevi Salminen, bought the sauna together with his aunt Helmi Saari and her husband Eino Saari.
Forum Sauna ceased its operations at Yliopistonkatu in 1981. After that, we renovated the facilities of the Kurjenmäki spa, whose sauna building had been constructed in 1941. Forum Sauna reopened its doors at this Kurjenmäki spa location in 1981. Eino and Helmi Saari stopped running the sauna in 1988, and since then, Forum Sauna has been under my ownership.
Thus, the sauna is now run by the second generation, and it continues to operate both as a public sauna and a therapeutic sauna. It embraces new challenges and operational models while honoring the traditions, appearance, and spirit of old-time public saunas. The sauna stoves are oil-heated, and renovations have been made in the sauna steam rooms in recent years; both the benches and the walls have been tiled.
