Liepāja – Beyond Expectations!

Liepāja, the third largest city in Latvia and the tenth largest in the Baltic States, is home to approximately 70,000 residents who call it their workplace and place of study.

It is nestled between the Baltic Sea and the Lake Liepāja, which are interconnected by the Trade Canal. Once an industrial hub and a closed military zone, Liepāja has transformed into a dynamic modern city, blending global aspirations with the comfort and charm of small-town living.

Liepāja pulses with a rich heritage of culture, artistry, and sports. Throughout the year, there’s something for everyone—whether it’s intimate exhibitions by local talents or breathtaking performances by international stars, classical music concerts, or a mega beach festival.

Sports enthusiasts will find both amateur competitions and European championships taking place.

Most events anchor by the architectural gem—Great Amber Concert Hall and its exceptional acoustics cheering audiences with every subtle nuance of sound.
