Sofie Badet

This is one of the old bath houses of old Copenhagen, located in the now hip and happening Christianshavn.
You can go in for just a quick shower (30kr), on cheap Monday’s for hammam (90kr), or go all in for the luxury hammam with massage, sauna, steam and the lot (750kr).
So, my partner and I did just that this Sunday. My oh my! It is difficult to describe how great it really was! The place is a bliss and the staff amazingly competent and friendly.
We were offered Turkish towels and slippers, changed and popped into the relaxation area for a cup of organic tea and dates. Here you had bath tubes with essential oils, cold showers, steam room, sauna, and more. After bouncing back and forth between steam and sauna, we went in for our hammam massage.
The two friendly masseuses asked us to lie down on a big, heated marble table — if you’ve ever had a hammam treatment, you’d know what I am talking about. My masseuse was a guy and since you are naked underneath the thin towel and practically end up only covering your most private parts it is essential that you’re not too shy. Or, you can ask for a same sex masseuse. After a whole hour of wonderful massaging, scrubbing, peeling, and rubbing you end up soft and clean like a baby. There are no words to describe how great you feel afterwards, loved every second of it!
After the massage, we sat down for a cup of tea before heading out for brunch — expect to build up a HUGE appetite.
