8 Best Saunas in Trondheim

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 onsite 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 afterward. The facility's central location makes it easy to walk or cycle here from anywhere in the city centre.

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.

Pirbadet is Norway's largest bathing facility, and in addition to a large wellness center, it offers most bathing activities here - and a little extra.

A session in a sauna is said to be good for both body and soul, and Pirbadet has two dry saunas and a steam sauna.
