11 of the world’s weirdest and coolest saunas!

Sauna is one of Finland’s most treasured traditions. For centuries, Finns used the sterile environment of the sauna for personal hygiene, births, cooking, and of course, relaxation. Considered a luxury in many other countries, saunas are a necessity in Finland. Even the Finnish soldiers of World War II constructed their own makeshift saunas out in the field.
Today, there are more than 3 million saunas in Finland — that’s about one sauna per household! Needless to say, the Finnish tradition of stripping down and sitting back in a steamy sauna isn’t going anywhere. Although the tradition of sauna remains the same, some of today’s saunas are weird in the most amazing ways.
We’ve rounded up a few of the world’s weirdest unique saunas. Prepare to sweat with sauna envy!

The Tram Sauna

Italian designers wanted to prove that public transport also could be relaxing, so they created the first ever Tram Sauna. The sauna is made in a real tram cart, and is currently located in the middle of a real spa complex, where it sits on its own tracks.

The Salt Sauna
