European Sauna Advice

I showed up to VinB in 2022 without an appt and was let in. It was mid afternoon on a weekday.

The curious part was being asked if I wanted a locker room with or without a camera. I said with a camera thinking sure I don’t want my stuff stolen. However it meant a mostly empty locker room with a few other guys. I doubt many women are choosing to be recorded changing.

I thought faster than you, and picked one without camera.

But, only one toeless woman changing when I was there anyway.

(1) I plan to book spa reservations ahead of time as much as possible. What are good times to book entry at V in B on a Friday and a Saturday? I read that the bouncers are less strict (or absent entirely) earlier in the day. When do they first come out, and when do they get stricter? That Friday will likely be my first time at V in B – though I plan to have gone to K in B beforehand. It seems like they’re stricter on first-time guests, and it doesn’t seem wise to lie about having been there before. Should I make a reservation for a very early time, especially for that Friday, to increase my chances of entry?

Thank you for reading, and thank you for sharing your wisdom!

These spas are not nightclubs or raves, where have you heard of people being denied access? You need a reservation at busy times to avoid having to wait. Unless you sit around wanking in the sauna, you're not going to be kicked out.

Bring a refillable, non glass bottle, there are places to fill up with water.

In summer, you can sunbathe outside, bring what you need for that.
