Seem like some of you travelled around a lot. I know the thread is for Europe but could you guys please also shred some light on the East Asian places? I'd love hear more about naked male-only but non-gay spas and public saunas in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan (yes I know nudity is common in all Japanese bath houses)
I want to try some hidden gems in hotels or gyms or sport centers, for both locals/residents and walk-in tourists, where nudity is allowed/encouraged.

- erqw,
is the sauna and steam room at Podoli co-ed? everywhere I looked only mentioned 'a' sauna and 'a' steamroom.
The steam is in the male shower area. There is a spa / sauna area for extra money...never seen anyone come in or out the door. The steam is free with your swim ticket.
- erqw,
Got it. Thank you!
The two pools themselves already look very nice, plus a steam room in the mens shower area. Hmmm... will definitely give it a visit! thanks for sharing the info!
Sauna Deco is on my bucket list to go to next year. Could you please provide more details? What is the proportion of men and women? Do couples make out? Have you witnessed any erection?
podoli is a paradise! I was there this year in April. Lots of men showering naked. Several naked men in the sauna. I sucked one of them in the restroom.
Amalienbad is great too and good price. They are quite rude but you can meet plenty of hot guys there. Harder to play than Therme Wien because it’s busier and smaller. But on friday afternoons especially it’s very cruisey
Also in Vienna and Berlin and a few other cities- Holmes Place Gym / Fitness.
Vienna and Berlin had naked saunas in the Men's Locker Room. There was also a mixed Sauna / Steam Relax area that was naked as well. The clientele were 20-30's and quite fit. My experiences in the Pool Sauna facilities in Vienna was that 80% of the clients were perhaps 70 years+. No judgement just what I experienced.
Day passes can be a bit pricey. Check online for the gym you will visit.
4 Hotels in Vienna had reduced rate passes to another GYM- John Harris in Vienna. The facilities looks quite nice online. My hotel was not on this list and I think a full price day pass would have been 38 Euros.

Sauna Deco was very disappointing for me. I went here on a Saturday at 18:30 (you need to book in advance, and this time slot was the only one remaining) until closing time, a few weeks ago.
I only saw 3 moderately hot guys there over the evening: 1 gay guy with his boyfriend, and 2 straight guys with their girlfriends. Mostly very old men and women, including a few old ugly men trying to cruise persistently.
The place is quite small. It seems that even when the place is fully booked (as was the case for me), there are just ~12 people simultaneously in there.
When it comes to the facilities themselves, I have seen better ones in public swimming pools in other countries. And you'd see more hot naked guys at those swimming pools in 10 minutes than at Sauna Deco over 4 hours.
There is an old school baths called Mineralna banya Pancharevo. It is in the outskirts of Sofia but you can reach it with public transportation. It coast 9lv per hour and there is a separate men section with 2 pools with hot spring water and showers. Everyone has to go completely naked.
Sometimes things are happening but you need to be careful coz staff are watching.
There’s another public bath called Mineralna banya Bankya and it’s a very beautiful building but everyone is together so it’s more like a spa.
A cruisy gym with open showers and sauna and stream room for men only is World class health academy.
Hi Tigrerabo,
Thanks for the info really appreciated.
I might try Mineralana banyan Pancharevo. I'm not looking for sex just a male- only space with nudity. Is this Place busy if so, when might be the best time to go I.e. the busiest.
World class health academy sounds good but I will have to look to see if they do a day pass. Is this Place busy?
Mineralna banya Pancharevo seems a long way out from central Sofia. 1 hr 45 mins by car from where I'm staying if this is the correct place.
Pancharevo is especially busy on Sunday afternoons. World Class has a day pass for 30 leva.
Pancharevo mineral bath can be reached in less than an hour from Sofia city centre. And by car I believe it’s less. Maybe 40 mins. It’s more busy on weekends.
Today at 1:01 PM
I will be in Sofia on Thursday. Do you think Pancharevo, Sofia would be busy that day if so, what would be busiest time to go that day. If it's busy I will definitely give it a try. I could see the outskirts of Sofia on the bus. I'd hate to go there with only very few there.
It won't be busy, that's one thing for sure. Try late afternoon but it closes at 18.00.
Any insight on Helsinki in December? Wondering what places, days and times are busiest. I know it's a weird month. Already planning on Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall on men's days but I'm worried it won't be busy because of the time of year.
