Visitors can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy panoramic views of the Gauja River valley, the nearby forests, and the town of Sigulda itself.
Inside the castle, visitors can explore a range of exhibits and displays that showcase the castle's history and culture. There are exhibits on the castle's construction and evolution, as well as displays of medieval weapons, armor, and other artifacts. Visitors can also learn about the daily life of the castle's inhabitants, including the knights, soldiers, and servants who lived and worked there.
