Tampere Sauna Experience

On the evening of Monday, 14 September, conference participants are invited to discover one of Finland’s most essential cultural experiences: the sauna.

Tampere is the sauna capital of the world, and we offer you a curated selection of sauna experiences across Tampere. Participants can choose from modern city saunas, traditional wood-fired lakeside saunas, floating sauna experiences on the lake, and guided sauna rituals rooted in Finnish heritage.

Some experiences take place in the heart of the city, while others invite you into peaceful natural surroundings just a short distance away. Options may also include guided walking tours, bike tours, seasonal Finnish dining, and opportunities to swim in clean natural waters.

All experiences are designed to be easy to join and require no prior sauna experience. They provide a unique setting for relaxation, informal networking, and experiencing Finnish culture in an authentic way.

Booking opens on 1 June 2026!
