Saldus is a town in south-west of Latvia nestled in a cozy valley next to the river and lake, so that the sharp winds rush over it, but all the good things trickle into the heart of the town. With 22 000 inhabitants Saldus Municipality encompasses 15 parishes, borders with Lithuania and is central transport artery of the region.

From time to time Saldus is silent, sometimes separate, but always open. When guests come, Saldus fills their bellies with sweet candies, and cups with coffee. Things that are intended always come true in Saldus. The School of Music and Arts ais filled with children, O. Kalpaks’ square is full of colorful flowers and the basketball baskets are filled with balls. Saldus is filled with active people.

Saldus is not a town with only one goal. Evenly important are both – people of Saldus and its guests. Both arts and sports. Both family and community. Rationally, Saldus desires to be a place where market squares and concert seats fill up. Emotionally a place where goals and long-cherished dreams come true.

A church and a market square have been in the center of Saldus for centuries, but the town itself has considerably grown. Saldus can be discovered as “sweet” town – watching the brisk activities of the local sweet manufacturers and tasting their products. As in Janis Rozentals’ town they can take a tour to the great Latvian artist’s favourite painting sites, visiting his workshop "Tower of Dreams" and seeing the church he depicted in his diploma painting. As in the city of "Saldus Saule" – listening to and singing along until the dawn at the oldest and the richest in tradition in Latvia open-air rock music festival "Saldus Saule". Saldus Municipality offers leisure activities for adventure seekers, nature lovers as well as for those who love to be creative or be acquainted with cultural and historical values.Moreover, travelers will be offered delicious meals, cozy accommodations and invigorating saunas.
