Periscope Spa is a rooftop sauna and jacuzzi complex in the heart of Tampere, located at the end of Restaurant Periscope’s large terrace with direct views over Ratina Stadium and the city skyline. The spa area includes two panoramic saunas, three outdoor jacuzzis, two changing rooms with showers, plenty of lounge space, a sauna cabinet and a cosy fireplace room. From the saunas and hot tubs you can watch concerts and football matches at Ratina while enjoying the warmth of the steam and the bubbles — a very modern take on the Finnish sauna experience in Finland’s “sauna capital”. The facility is open year-round, offering crisp winter air and city lights in the colder months and long summer evenings on the terrace when the weather is mild.
The space is primarily designed for private groups: you can reserve a single sauna with a jacuzzi for a small gathering or the whole Periscope Spa area for larger celebrations, corporate events or birthdays, with capacity up to around 50–80 people. Packages typically include use of the saunas, jacuzzis, lounging areas and basic amenities in the changing rooms, while food and drinks can be pre-ordered from Restaurant Periscope to turn the visit into a full evening with snacks, main courses and desserts. The central location in Tampere, just a short walk from Nokia Arena, shopping centres and other nightlife, makes Periscope Spa a popular choice for travellers and locals who want a stylish urban sauna instead of a traditional lakeside facility. Reviews often highlight the views, atmosphere and well-organised service, giving the venue a strong rating among sauna experiences in Finland.
