Valga Municipality is located in South-Estonia, lying along the line of the Estonian-Latvian border. Southern Estonia is one of the highest, as well as the prettiest regions in Estonia with pristine and untouched nature, a rich historical and cultural heritage and authentic people respectful of integrity, simplicity and the sense of humour.

The municipality of Valga extends over 750 square kilometers and has an estimated population of 16 600 people. The population is mainly concentrated in the town of Valga, villages and sparsely populated areas covering the rest of the municipality.

The administrative centre of Valga Municipality is Valga, the historical district centre of Kreis Walk, first mentioned in 1286. On June, 11th, 1584, Walk was granted a town privileges by Stefan Batory, King of Poland.

In 1920, after the proclamation of independence of the Republic of Latvia and the Republic of Estonia the town Walk was divided between two countries and the border was set in the middle. The northern side - Valga, belongs to Estonia and Valka on the southern side belongs to Latvia. This unique twin-town Valga-Valka is a pearl waiting to be discovered.
