Bademaschinen

Quirky floating sauna on the Oslo waterfront

Oslo, Eastern Norway

Bademaschinen is one of Oslo’s most distinctive floating saunas, known for its creative design and spirited community atmosphere. Moored along the Oslo waterfront, this converted floating structure brings together sauna culture with a playful, artistic sensibility that sets it apart from more conventional offerings.

The sauna experience is classic yet characterful. Guests warm up inside the sauna cabin before stepping out onto the deck and into the Oslo Fjord. The setting provides wonderful views of the harbor and surrounding cityscape, and the social atmosphere makes it easy to strike up conversations with fellow bathers.

Bademaschinen operates seasonally and sessions can be popular, so booking in advance is recommended. Swimwear is required. The sauna is accessible from central Oslo on foot or by public transport, making it easy to combine with a day of exploring the waterfront.
