Konventa Seta where I stayed during my visit is located very conveniently to most of the fascinating destinations in the city. The old cobble stone streets are negotiated by the most modern young women in heels(!) headed for their places of work. Every visitor should take back with them some form of amber for which the Baltics are known. And, of course, the magnificent art nouveau buildings could take the whole day to inspect and admire. Riga citizens seem to have a way with flowers, too. Visitors should check out the unusual floral arrangements at most flower markets and the imaginative plantings in the parks. Last, but not least, Laima chocolates!
