Amalienbad
The big swimming pool was built between 1923 and 1926 with an interior decoration in Art-Déco style. Expect the pool to be crowded (depending on time) and hence it may be hard to swim in straight lines. In the sauna areas (for additional price), there are cold and warm pools and a hot tub in addition to a steam room, a bio sauna and two Finnish saunas (with a schedule of Austrian aufguss sessions).
