A rainy day in Tromsø: swimming and sauna at Tromsøbadet

Rain can change your sightseeing plans, but it doesn’t have to leave you with nothing to do. If you’d like to spend part of the day swimming or enjoying a sauna, Tromsøbadet is an option to consider.

You can plan your visit before leaving your accommodation: check the opening hours, review the ticket options and read the visitor rules. That way, you’ll know what to bring and what to expect when you arrive.

Choose the visit that suits you

You don’t need to make a rainy day into a packed itinerary. Think about what you’d enjoy most: time in the water, a sauna visit or an activity to share with your travel companions.

Tromsøbadet offers swimming and sauna facilities. Check the current facilities status before your visit, particularly if there’s a specific pool or sauna you’re hoping to use. Availability can change, so a general article should never be your only source of information about what’s open today.

What should you bring?

Bring your swimwear. You can hire a towel at Tromsøbadet, so there’s no need to pack your own. If you plan to use the sauna, remember that you’ll also need a towel to sit on.

Before entering the pool area, you must shower without swimwear and wash with soap. Phones and cameras are not permitted in the pool area or changing rooms. Knowing these rules beforehand makes your first visit easier.

Read the visitor rules before you arrive.
