This place was a real find and a very Latvian experience (no other tourists apart from ourselves). The sauna experience felt utterly rejuvenating and almost meditative, and the food offered in the small cafe was outstanding and very reasonably priced. Cannot praise this place enough. :)

Great place. Large, clean. It's also a public establishment, not to be confused with the many smaller private saunas normally rented by groups, and not designed for individual visitors. There's usually an English-speaking staff member around at the Balta Pirts. The best thing is that it's easy to find; if you go to the addresses of many saunas/pirts in Riga there's nothing to indicate to a foreigner that any sort of bath house exists at that location.
