Live Jelgava’s Pulse – Cosy Studio with Stunning City Centre View

Step into the soul of Jelgava at the Heart of Mitau, a bright and cosy studio apartment perched on the 4th floor in the very centre of the city. Once the capital of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia, Jelgava (historically known as Mitau) is rich in stories—and this flat places you right in the middle of them.
This thoughtfully designed studio features a comfortable bedroom area, a welcoming living space, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private bathroom—perfect for solo travellers, couples, or history lovers eager to explore the city’s legacy.
From your window, enjoy sweeping views over the cityscape, where modern life meets echoes of the past. Though the climb to the 4th floor requires a bit of spirit (no elevator), the reward is a peaceful retreat above the bustle, with a view that’s worth every step.
Inside, you’ll find vintage photos of Jelgava in its former glory, adding a personal touch to your stay. Just outside your door, discover:
The majestic Jelgava Palace – the largest in the Baltics – only a 5-minute walk away
Academia Petrina, Latvia’s oldest higher education institution
The Holy Trinity Church tower and the island of wild horses
Local favourites for food and coffee: Parks, Chocolate & Pepper, Central Caffe, Tornis, and Pilsētas Elpa
The main bus station is a 7-minute walk, with minibuses to Riga in under an hour. Free street parking is available, and short-term parking is possible in the backyard.
As a seasoned traveller myself, I’ve created this space to be a restful, inspiring base for discovering Jelgava. Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a cultural deep dive, the Heart of Mitau welcomes you.
