Tukums is a town in Western Zemgale or Eastern Kurzeme (subject to interpretation) and on the outer edge of Greater Riga area. Proximity and rail connection with Riga provides good employment opportunities, supported by some local industry - manufacturing of milk products, animal food, furniture, construction elements, heating equipment, professional workwear and maybe something else. The historic centre is nice as is Durbe manor. To the north and north-west there are nice hilly areas with a couple of winter sports sites.
