Sigulda — breathe freely!

Sigulda is one of Latvia’s most beautiful cities. There are not many places in the world where the beauty of nature becomes an integral part of the city. Our city does not have great industries, but it has hills for skiing in the winter and winding roads along which one can ride a bicycle in the summer. Our slogan - Breath

e Freely! - confirms our mental and physical activeness.

Winter sports in Latvia are associated with Sigulda. The Opera Festival once again reminds of Sigulda. Bungee jumping, the vertical wind tunnel Aerodium, and our rope course Mezakakis, Siguldas`s Adventure Park – this is the kind of emotion one can experience only in Sigulda. Our traditional Bird Festival in Mores region, the autumn colors in Turaida, Gutmana Cave and Maija’s Love Story, Dainu Hill — all characterize Sigulda, as does the concert hall White Grand Piano and the Kremerata Baltica Festival. And that is not all…

Although the population of Sigulda is growing, it is not likely that in the near future we will see traditional elements of growth, such as tram system, factories, or expensive mansions. We continue to develop our city as a city of love, parks, history, and beautiful tales — that is our plan for Sigulda.

Sigulda district is a place where people can feel at ease and enjoy life with daycare facilities and schools for children, and for adults, work places not far from home. One can relax and enjoy world–class culture and both summer and winter sports in Sigulda.

A city is not created in a short period of time but over hundreds of years, likewise development of the local traditions and culture. Therefore local inhabitants of Sigulda are active participants in the local celebrations, both summer and winter, including the 800^th anniversary of the founding of the city.

In Sigulda everyone can really breathe freely!
