Saldus is sometimes quiet, sometimes secluded, but always open. When visitors arrive, Saldus fills their bellies with sweets and their mugs with coffee. The things that Saldus envisions always come true. The art school fills up with children, O. Kalpaka Square fills up with flowers and basketball hoops fill up with balls. Saldus is filled with bustling people.

Saldus is not a city with only one goal. Saldus is as much about its citizens as it is about its visitors. Both art and sport. Family and community. Rationally, Saldus wants to be a place where market squares and concert seats fill up, but emotionally, a place where goals and long-held dreams come true.

As mentioned in the poem “About What Comes Out” by Saldus local resident Maris Čaklis, Saldus still has a church and a market square in its centre, but the town itself has grown a lot.

You can also get to know Saldus as the sweet city – by watching the bustle of local sweet producers and enjoying sweets, as the city of Rosenthal – by walking around the famous Latvian painter’s favourite painting sites and seeing the church he painted, as the city of “Saldus Saule” – by listening and singing along until dawn at the oldest and most traditional open-air rock music festival “Saldus Saule”.

Saldus Region offers recreational opportunities for lovers of thrills, friends of nature, as well as for those who love to be active and explore cultural and historical values. And, of course, travellers can enjoy invigorating saunas and cosy accommodation.
