Sandunovskye Baths

Sandunovskye Baths is Moscow's classic banya, famous for its grand interiors as much as for the steam. The halls, marble stairs, and painted ceilings make it feel closer to a palace than a bathhouse.

You can visit for a traditional banya session, and guided tours are sometimes offered for people more interested in the architecture than the ritual. Either way, it is one of the city's more memorable public-bath experiences.
