Saunas are a typical Nordic phenomenon, and interest in saunas has risen sharply in recent years, not only in the capital, but also in Trondheim.
More and more people have started using saunas, often together with other treatments, and several new varieties have also emerged. When you look at the menus of various spa and wellness centres, you'll often find a wide selection of saunas such as steam saunas, dry saunas, herbal saunas, infrared saunas and more, not to forget floating saunas. Many people have saunas installed at home and it has become popular to have a sauna followed by an ice-cold dip in the sea. Below are some recommendations for places where you can experience the wonderful benefits of a sauna.

Sjøbadet
Hot Sauna and Cold Dip
- Abenteuer
- Familien
Sjøbadet is located right by the Trondheimsfjord and is a lovely place to take a break from everyday life, whatever the season.
The central bathing area benefits from steps, a raft and diving tower alongside simple and modern facilities, and in summer, the city's residents often come here to swim in the fjord, sunbathe and relax. In winter, the on-site sauna is heated at fixed times. Use of the sauna is primarily intended for local members, but there is also a so-called "public sauna" open to anyone who wants to use the sauna and enoy a refreshing winter dip afterwards. The facility's central location makes it easy to walk or cycle here from anywhere in the city centre.

Bunker Sauna
Sauna with a History
- Abenteuer
Bunker Sauna is located in Østmarkneset by Ladestien. It is a bunker from World War II, which creative architecture students from NTNU with support from the municipality have turned into a sauna.
Previously, Østmarkneset was an abandoned quay facility from the war, where architecture students have given new life to the abandoned buildings and transformed the area into a popular meeting place for the city's residents. Alongside the sauna is a recently built restaurant, and both Trondheim freediving club and Trondheim Kayak Club have their club premises here. The sauna is public and open to everyone. No need to book a place. If the sauna is in use when you get there, simply wait until it is free again. And after a trip to the sauna, it's always nice to have a drink and a snack while looking out over the sea to the Fosen Peninsula.
