Why visit Liepāja in 2027
In 2027 Liepāja shares the European Capital of Culture title with Évora in Portugal, and marks it with a year-long programme of cultural events. Beyond the calendar, Liepāja is a genuine destination in its own right: a long Blue Flag beach, the Great Amber concert hall (Lielais Dzintars), a deep musical heritage and the atmospheric Karosta naval district. A culture-focused year means more to see and do across every season, so it is an ideal time to combine events with a relaxed seaside break on the Baltic coast. Use this hub to picture the year, then plan the details around the days you want to be in town.
