the charm of liepāja is concealed in its special atmosphere. perhaps a bit restrained and harsh, yet also noble and rebellious. sometimes calm, sometimes swirling – like the sea washing the shores of liepāja. genuine and truthful – this is liepāja.

liepāja has grown from a small fishermen village into the third largest city in latvia. it is well known for its culture and creativity. liepāja is the home of the oldest professional latvian theatre and the internationally recognized liepāja symphony orchestra. annual festivals of classical, rock and organ music as well as theatre, dance and art festivals take an important role in the cultural life of the city. liepāja beach has white fine sand which amazes even those people who have been to the world’s most famous beach resorts. after a strong wind you can find some pieces of amber washed ashore. since 2001 each year the Blue flag – the most popular tourism eco-certificate is awarded to liepāja city Beach.

Karosta – the largest historical military territory in the Baltics, occupies the northern one-third of the city. it is a part of liepāja, but at the same time - a world of its own. Karosta is a spectacular, paradoxical and unique site in the world’s history and architecture reflecting the interaction of tsarist russia military elegance and robust soviet militarism. You may like or dislike it, but Karosta certainly won’t leave you indifferent.

liepāja is the only city in latvia, which purposefully utilizes the so-called universal or “accessible for all” design, when it comes to standards for new and renovated buildings, thus providing accessible environment, infrastructure, products, services and information to all people, regardless of their age, health, vision and movement possibilities. several tactile maps are installed around the city and on the beach. liepāja city beach is the first one in latvia that has been adapted to the needs of people with

visual impairments and movement disabilities – a swimming area has been created, which is equipped with audio-buoys for the visually impaired and an adequate sanitation module for people with vision and movement disabilities. liepāja has received an award at the international competition “european destination of excellence” for creating a convenient infrastructure for people with special needs.

in liepāja you will find outstanding infrastructure, high quality services, good transporation links and low costs, as well as countless possibilities for putting together a cultural, entertaiment, sports or leisure activity program for your guests. all this makes liepāja an excellent destination in latvia for your conference, exhibition, business meeting or team building activity.
