marianne's travel recommendations

Konventa Sēta is next to St John's Church, right in the centre of Riga and used to be a Dominican monastry. Konventa Sēta, Convent Court, consists of numerous well-restored passages lined with paste-coloured medieval houses. The hotel is a complex of 9 medieval buildings dating back to the 14th and 16th centuries, but offering modern comfort in its 141 rooms. In the hotel's basement is a souvenir and handicraft shop with a large choice of silver jewellery, traditional knitwear, hand-embroidered linen and amber.
