Hallenbad City Sauna

The Hallenbad City is the city's central indoor pool at Sihlstrasse 71, a few minutes' walk from Bahnhofstrasse and the Hauptbahnhof, and its basement hosts a public sauna area. The sauna offers a Finnish sauna at 80 and 90 degrees Celsius, a gentler bio sauna, a rest room, and an outdoor area. Admission to the sauna is CHF 12 (approx $15) for adults, according to published listings, and pool entry is charged separately. Women-only sessions are reserved on Tuesday mornings from 8AM to 14:00 and Thursday evenings from 6PM to 10PM, and the sauna is mixed at other times, so visitors should check the posted schedule. The facility is municipal, which gives it a practical, no-frills character: lockers are available, towels may need to be brought or hired, and the clientele is mostly local. It is an excellent budget option compared with luxury spas, and its central location makes it an easy after-sightseeing stop. A short annual maintenance closure took place in August 2026, and the facility has since reopened, but visitors should check for further closures. Nudity is customary in saunas in Switzerland, as in Germany; towels must be placed on benches. The Hallenbad City is about five minutes from the Hauptbahnhof on foot, and trams stop nearby at Stauffacher or Sihlstrasse. Opening hours were not confirmed here, so they should be checked on the city website before going.
