Why Allas Sea Pool matters
Allas Sea Pool sits right in the harbour next to the Market Square, with heated outdoor pools, saunas, a sea-water pool and a terrace with views over the water. It is a relaxed way to try a Finnish sauna and swim without leaving the city centre, even in winter. Bring swimwear and expect to cool off by the sea.
Talking points
- Pools and saunas sit right on the harbour.
