Make the groom a knight for the day: a cape and a sash for the old-town walk, a medieval-style banquet where the best man proclaims his crimes, and a crossbow or axe contest with a forfeit for the loser. The bars in the old town are small and friendly, so keep the dares loud but the group tight.
Keep the sauna for relaxing. Saunas are part of local life but are for relaxing, so leave the props in the changing room and keep the jokes for the bar.
