Hagabadet – a timeless classic with class

It’s impossible to talk about spas in Gothenburg without mentioning Hagabadet. A beloved classic with Art Nouveau-style bathing facilities, offering relaxation and a wide range of treatments.

The bathhouse first opened in Haga in 1867 under the name Renströmska Bad- och Tvättinrättningen. When Valhallabadet opened in the 1960s, the old bathhouse was left abandoned and fell into disrepair for many years. However, it was restored in the mid-1990s, regaining its former glory.
