The map above supposedly shows all the public saunas in Finland.
According to Statistics Finland, the total number of saunas (public and private) was estimated to be over 2.4 million at the end of 2023 out of a population of just 5.6 million people.
If you want to learn more about Finnish culture have a look at the following books:

And if you want your own Sauna, you can buy one on Amazon.

Not accurate
John says
Use some critical thinking, dude: why would 5.5 million people have 2 million public saunas?
It’s not public saunas. Yes, there are 2 million saunas in Finland. But they’re not public. They’re in private homes.
Finnishperson says
This is the most incorrect shit i’ve seen in fucking YEARS my man. Like seriously is this just a troll? Saunas are very rarely public, usually only inside cities. And Finland is 99% countryside.
