Warsaw is turning up the heat by the Vistula!
Both residents and visitors can now enjoy not just one, but two free riverside saunas nestled along the river. Joining the popular floating Sauna Wisła at Czerniakowski Port, a brand-new mobile sauna has arrived to enhance your riverside experience. This mobile sauna will alternate between Saska Beach and the Rusałka/ZOO area, inviting you to explore new scenic spots along the river, relax, and rejuvenate.
Warsaw’s riverside saunas have become an autumn-winter sensation in the city’s vibrant “Vistula District.” Imagine warming up in a cozy sauna before taking a brisk, refreshing plunge in the chilly waters – a tradition that brings people closer to nature, even when temperatures drop. This mobile sauna wasn’t just a whim – it’s here thanks to a popular vote in the city’s participatory budget, highlighting the community’s passion for active, wellness-oriented outdoor experiences along the riverfront, all year long. The new mobile sauna perfectly demonstrates how eager people are to stay active and healthy by the Vistula, even when the weather isn’t ideal.
The beloved Sauna Wisła, first launched in 2021, has become a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. Anchored at Czerniakowski Port, it offers breathtaking views of the harbor, a cold plunge pool, warm wooden interiors, and refreshing showers – all designed to provide a natural, soothing escape in the heart of the city.
Best of all, these sauna sessions are completely free! Each week, you can join on selected mornings and afternoons. Start your weekend right with a Saturday or Sunday morning session, or make a midweek escape on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with both morning and afternoon slots available. Wednesdays even feature a unique “Must Be the Poet” event, where you can unwind to the rhythm of live poetry readings—an unforgettable mix of art, warmth, and relaxation. Each session runs for 1.5 hours, giving you ample time to soak in the views, the atmosphere, and the warmth.
So, if you’re ready to add some cozy adventure to your autumn and winter, Warsaw’s riverside saunas are waiting for you! Find the full schedule and reserve your spot here.
