James Hammond described his experience at Löyly, a sauna rated by Time magazine as one of the greatest places in the world. For €29, visitors get a two-hour slot at the waterfront sauna, which includes a bar, water, towels, and lockers. He recommended the cycle of sauna, cooling off outside, and showering, calling it a trendy and unreal must-do in Helsinki, though possibly touristy.
“And the next activity is something we booked a while ago, and this is a place that Time magazine in 2018 rated as one of the top 100 greatest places to be in the world.”
“And it's called Looloo, but spelled L O Y L Y. We pronounce it Looly until someone else told us otherwise, which I'll come to in a second.”
“This is €29 each, and this gets you a two-hour time slot at their sauna by the waterfront. There's a bar inside, they provide water, towels, and a locker, so you can sauna for 15 minutes, cool off with a beer or a Coke, sit outside in the sun, shower, and repeat.”
