The €6 entry fee is worth it for the Castle alone but it also covers all the attractions in the Museum except the peasants exhibit. The castle is amazing with great views from the top of the main tower and lots to explore in the other towers. Well worth the visit and the fee.

Reviewed By SylvesterLondon - Bushey, United Kingdom

Lovely cave with carvings in the sandstone going back to 17th century. You're not allowed to deface the rock now but the older carvings give it a timeline. Beautiful place to be within the Gauja National Park. Location of The Legend of the Rose of Turaida (google it)
