Copenhagen's gay sauna scene is small but solid. You'll find a few places operating openly in a city that's been one of Europe's most LGBTQ+-accepting capitals since it legalised same-sex partnerships in 1989.
Amigo Sauna
This is Copenhagen's best-known gay sauna. It's at Studiestræde 31A in the Latin Quarter, a few minutes' walk from the city centre. It's a multi-level place with a steam room, a dry sauna, wet areas, and private cabins. It's open most days; hours change, so check before you go. The central spot means it's easy to get to from most of the city's gay bars on Studiestræde and nearby streets.
SLM Copenhagen
This is part of the Scandinavian Leather Men network. It's more a leather and fetish club than a traditional sauna, but it does have wet facilities. They focus on events, so check their calendar; it's not always open for walk-ins. It pulls in a leather and bear crowd. You'll find it in the city centre, close to the gay bar strip.
Copenhagen's Gay Scene
Studiestræde and the streets around it in the Latin Quarter make up Copenhagen's gay neighbourhood. It's a compact area with bars, clubs, and the main sauna. Oscar Bar and Café, Café Intime, and Centralhjørnet are all within walking distance of each other. Centralhjørnet is one of the world's oldest gay bars, running since the 1950s. Copenhagen Pride is in August. It's one of Scandinavia's biggest, with the parade through the city centre drawing well over 100,000 people.
