About Liepaja City Council
Liep─üja is the 3rd largest city in Latvia and 10th largest one in the Baltic States. Approximately 72 000 people have chosen it as their home place. The city is located on a stretch of land between the Baltic Sea and the Liep─üja Lake, which are connected by the Trade Canal. The oldest electric tram line in the Baltic States’ territory curves through the city’s residential neighborhoods from north to south. It is also worth mentioning that this nature-friendly type of public transportation in Latvia is only available in Liep─üja and two other cities. The sea with its widest sandy beach in the country, strolling, beautiful scenery and colorful sunsets – these are just a few of many magnets that attract locals, neighbors and guests from more distant lands located in Europe and around the world. Liep─üja is a destination city with high tourism added value. It provides high quality tourism services to diverse groups of travelers with different interests and needs, including people with special needs. In 2013 Liep─üja won an international “EDEN” contest in the category of “accessible tourism” or tourism for people with disabilities, and was named the European Destination of Excellence in Latvia. Liep─üja also has rich cultural, artistic and sports traditions. Summers in Liep─üja are usually filled with various events and festivals – starting from the massive “Summer Sound” beach party to the festival of speed “Rally Kurzeme”, when tens of thousands of guests are gathering in the city.
