Miss Moonshine's favorite part of her favorite Finnish city, Tampere.
Excuse mispelling in vdo. I forgot that there are 2 T's in Rajaportti Sauna, but only one due to KPT spelling rules of Finnish language when you write "Rajaporti Sauna" in Finnish and put the first/name in the genitive case, e.g. Rajaportin Sauna, theone t drops out because of the n ending.
Built in 1908 for the workers of Tampere in what is now a very ritzy area of the city, not unlike San Francisco in appearance (but better!). Tucked into the base of Pispala/Pynniki Ridge between 2 giant lakes connected by a river that runs through downtown Tampere, just a couple miles east. Totally wonderful walk from my AirBnB in Pynniki over the ridge, up and down staircases, over to the Rajaportti Sauna, where I met up with Tampere Sauna Blogger Tanja, on my first day in Tampere.
No lockers in the place, you can leave valuables with the front office. Naked single sex saunas both heated by the same oven. I did not see the oven and assume its wood or wood pellet burning.
