City infrastructure »
With good reason Daugavpils Fortress, the historical centre, century-old wooden homes of the Old Suburb (Vecā Forštadte) and the Church hill in Jaunbūve can be considered the most significant town building landmarks of Daugavpils.
Daugavpils can be proud of the large number of water bodies (there are 12 lakes, Daugava river etc.), as well as parks and the vast wood park that surround the city.
Historically Daugavpils has developed from a number of different residential areas. In the framework of Development programme of Daugavpils „Mana pils - Daugavpils" (according to the territorial planning) residential areas will be developed in order to keep their singularity and at the same time - to ensure good quality of the services received by residents in all parts of the city. Attractive living environment forms an important aspect of investment climate, which is a significant factor for attracting foreign as well as internal investments from other regions of Latvia to Latgale region.
