The ride itself is quite expensive and shortnand the kids said that not worth the money. But we go to to see some great sights as we were allowed to walk up to the tower along a bobsleigh track that wasn't used during the summer. The track was really impressive from the inside and views impressive bothered from the track and the tower. Just a little suggestion - try to put together a small exhibition. Even one or two rooms would cover it to give some general info about the place and the sport itself. Anything is better than just offering the ride and views only.

This was a bit of a weird place. The views of the surrounding countryside from the top are astounding, but the track itself isn't really interesting att all (unless you are practicing the sport I suppose). So if you see this as a viewing platform it's pretty neat.

The skeleton bob was a great experience! Would absolutely come again

Did the “soft” bobsledding and was not disappointed. Went faster than I thought, and would definitely recommend!

Very cool attraction during the summertime as you can walk from the top of the track.

I was there for competition and the track was great for sliding.

Very interesting place with great views and in the same time is very attractive place for extreme lovers. The cost of one Bob drive is 10€/7€. The Bob is for 4 people. The first one is a driver+3 lovers of extreme. After finishing the car lifts back to the starting point. You can also go to the place (6nd floor) of start of the real sportsmen. The very important thing is CASH ONLY. This may be inconvenient.

3 euro to walk on the track. No riding. Takes awhile to complete the circuit. Not missing anything if you skip here altogether

We came Latvia specifically to do the bobsleigh. This was an amazing experience. Nothing can prepare you for the first corner. We reached speeds of 65mph/105kmh and really enjoyed it. An extreme adrenaline rush. Would definitely recommend for the adventurous. It's located approx 60 mins car ride from central Riga.

was nice to see the track and walk a bit

A fantastic experience, and a great day out of Riga not only for an activity such as bob-sleighing but also seeing a charming Latvian town.

Great stop on the way to Tallin! Amazing views. Very cool to explore and walk down the track, one of the only places in the world you can do that. Hopefully can try it out in the winter some time!

We came to look around the track and were able to walk down to the finish line and watch the international teams doing training. The lady in reception was very nice and friendly and gave us tips on where to go to get the best views.

Recommend for sleds and extrem lovers. Great for winter and summer fun. You will never forget this feeling when you get down the track. Wonderful and scary!

A very peaceful feeling here. Quiet but you can imagine defending the castle during this period. A superior location for defences! The surrounding forests and deep valleys stunning!

The place can be visited even outside the specified hours - the tower requires a ticket. There are some panels and the view from a platform towards Turaida castle is great.

Nice views around the castle to the Gauja national park. Some architectural decisions (growing trees around the boundaries of the castle) makes it possible to feel the size of the castle. Entrance price is 2e for adults, 1e for a discounted ticket (students, etc.) and 5e for a family ticket.

Beautiful place to take a stroll. There isn't much left from the old castle, mostly ruins consisting in one wall with adjacent rooms. Still interesting if you got an hour or two to spend walking around, nice Grounds, couple souvenir shops.

The place is good, you could shoot a lot of awesome photos and you could enjoy some time with nature in that place

Beautiful collection of historical buildings in gorgeous nature surroundings. Also an old cold war bunker to explore if you dare!!

Well preserved but not much to see. Would not recommend going there just for the sake of it. As part of cable car ride, it was good to walk around krimulda. There was even a small wooden walking bridge nearby.

It is pretty amazing to see old ruins like these. The old walls are still very visible. The view of the valley from this castle would have been amazing back in the day.

There is basically only one wall left but the place around it is very nice, you can take a long walk around it and there are so many awesome places to take photos. Oh,and you can walk with your dog there.

All the Gauja natural reserve is beautiful. If you are planning a trip to Latvia don't miss this place.

Good place to visit. Many old and nice buildings like small town.

There is nothing except this ruin and oportunity to take some short trails around.

Ok

The ruins of an medieval castle surrounded by woodlands. Not much left today.

An interesting historical place with ancient fragments of the castle is a great place for walking in nature.

Overall a nice place. The sad thing was the bathroom (toilet paper all over there floor and just very dirty in general). The service was a 3/5. The staff forgot about 2 items that we ordered resulting in 3 people waiting to be served while first meals served got cold. Received no apologies what so ever from the staff. The food itself was nice and flavourful. Maybe it was just a busy day so it got a little chaotic. But still recommend to pay this place a visit. Desserts were nice!

What a wonderful charming and tasty place. Loved it. The staff are very kind and with smile. Respecting rules with COVID,how many people to come inside/ cleaning. We had our lunch there and left with plenty of tasty cakes afterwards. Porc is amazing. Definitely will come back next time.

This place was very crowded and for good reason, the food was delicious, fast, and good portions for the price. My friend and I split the salmon and what was supposed to be the hummus bowl but accidentally got the one with shrimp.

I only have great things to say about this place! Very tourist friendly (server speaks English and they have an English menu). Prices are fair (only 19 Euros for two people). It is vegetarian friendly. Card and cash payment available. Coffee is amazing and the food was really good. Wish they had a little honey for the porridge on the menu but to be fair I didn’t ask for it. Atmosphere is very cozy, warm and calm.

I really love this place. If you want coffee and cake 🎂 🥮 🍥 🧁 🍰 this place is for you. If you want tasty meal, this place is for you. There is one small issue. Premises is small and place is really popular.

had a latte and tiramisu rulete here while my friend had the sweet potato fries! am a dessert lover and i absolutely loved the food here :-) i would definitely come back!

Nice service, very good prices, very good dishes and be warned for some time-consuming cake choosing 😂 Too many too beautyful masterpiece-cakes! We wanted to try so many that bought sime with us. Very cosy place, possible to sit on the couch outside-ish and enjoy. Not very good pic, but this is potato pancakes with salmon, was very good.

Sigulda's most famous place to eat and have dessert! Salmon with stewed vegetables was just great. Cappuccino is well made and dessert Zefir is highly recommended. Though the Aperol spritz was very bad... Otherwise this is the place where I come back for a decade and is always as good as expected.

We had a lovely dinner here. Everything was excellent. My favorite was probably the potato pancake with cottage cheese and salmon, the pancakes were really crispy. The seafood soup was packed with fish and veggies. I liked that they put the cream for the meatball soup on the side so that tyou can decide if you want to put it in. You have to order at the bar and then they bring you the food to the table. It’s a bit noisy as it’s located on the main street.

Phenomenal café!!.. Top notch food and beverages!.. Very cozy and friendly staff! Pastries were amazing, fresh with great texture and flavorful! I didn't try the deserts, but by the looks, I can tell they are great!

Definitely a cute vibe. But food is just ok. The cod fish is definitely not fresh and nor well cooked. Soup is good. Deseerts look appetizing but we havent tried

The food was good, tasty and beautiful. The service was perfect and th waitresses were also kind enough to service me. They understood English and they talked perfectly. Totally recommend it!

Just found this place because of good reviews ⭐️ Definitely “must visit” 👍 We were waiting around 5-7 minutes and it was full inside 😊 Everything was very tasty 👍👍👍

Stopped here for afternoon meal, and was not disappointed. Great food in a great little cafe. At a great price.

Absolutely gorgeous after renovation. I'm a Latvian myself, and I haven't seen this many national romanticism interior details in one place before.

Traveled to the location to see the old castle. Unfortunately the old castle at the time was under construction having a new bridge built. That was fine so instead toured the new castle. The castle from the outside was beautiful. It was kind of pricey for a ticket & it did not have very much to offer on the inside but the view from the top of the tower was great.

The manor Palace is very nice to visit, having art exhibitions hosted inside. There is also a ghost, beware. The view from the top, floor 5, is 360 degrees and wonderful perspective of the surroundings. Maybe a bit expensive and half of one floor is not for visiting.

The old castle is closed in spring 2023. The other places in the complex are not "workshops", they are souvenir shops with a tool or two. They are there for shopping. I did not go into the new castle. It looks like a manor house, not a castle. The "stable" is full of shopping, there is no resemblance at all to a stable. Really disappointing. All the buildings are just shopping.

An excellent experience. Everything is well organized. You can freely walk around almost the entire castle, climb the tower. I recommend paying a visit.

Lovely place, the castle is astounding and the all the facilities around are kept in nice state. Perfect place for a relaxing walk on the evening.

The Sigulda new castle is quite boring, not too much exhibits, the basement is completely empty, and ghost room is just a small room with a tub. The only attractive thing is to climb up the top and have a good viewing of surrandings.

3.50euro to enter castle.

Very nice wooden location, with nice landscape surrounding. The place had a great pseudo-historical atmosphere, with many lovely details. The food and service were excellent, though a bit pricey too. Recommendation!

Dinner was great and the staff is very nice and polite. The place is very very nice! If you come to this area this is the place to go!

Very nice food! Excellent service. A nice man who served us was very polite, wearing neat white shirt, speaking fluently 3 languages. Atmosphere was very friendly and cozy. Even though a tourist group arrived few min before us , we were seated in a separate hall with quiet and peace. Highly recommended. Food: duck breast and deer

Good service and excellent food late evening. We took duck breast and pork chops with mushroom sauce and both were delicious.

Excellent food, great service. Two thumbs up BIG TIME! Recommended 100% After over a decade working in best country clubs in the states I can honestly say they are the best in Latvia from what I’ve tried so far. Not overpriced, portions are good size, each and every dish was very delicious. We will be back soon. Thank you, Kungu Rija!!!

Food was delicious and served very nicely. The sizes of the portions were also good. Surroundings were nice and the service was polite. On the negative side, the internet was not working on terrace and it is not a cheap place. Also the terrace was facing the road, which wasn't buisy, but it would have been nice to look somewhere else.

Actually stopped at this restaurant for lunch on my cruise excursion. And was very surprised at how very nice and elegant the restaurant and service were. The food was delicious and the atmosphere, architecture and grounds were beautiful.

Amazing place. Authentic Latvian atmosphere. Romantic. Baby and pets friendly. Old pond and oaks. Beautiful fireplace. Perfect ibside and uotdoors design. Food is outstanding!!! 10 stars. Must visit place!

Awesome food, awesome service! They managed to feed us at the highest level although there was no electricity few moments after order was made. Staff is super nice and very polite!

If you are hiking around castles and caves, you really should stop here. Amazing latvian family restaurant, builded traditionaly by the owners. Great country style, natural bio wood all around. Fantastic dishes; creatives, perfectly well cooked and good price and quality. Good service. Super big parking and a small lake views. Maybe jazz music too loud, but ei! It’s jazz! So we forget it. Fummetsvan will come back for sure.

Super place , very friendly service and food was delicious 🤤 definitely would return

Found this restaurant on google map. The food were gorgeous and delicious! And it’s not expensive! The service was also great. It’s quite a good and cool experience 🥹✨and highly recommended to everyone ~

The restaurant is on the side of the road near Turaida. The menu is traditional and has several attractive dishes. The atmosphere is nice. The service is good. The food was ok. However, they did not have several ingredients and the portions are mid. The rabbit leg was overpriced at 26 euros.

I can only note the restaurant, we did not stay at the hotel Excellent food, good wines, good service. We went two consecutive evenings. The second day, I asked water, but I didn't want a bottle, was too much, tap water was enough for me, but they said no 🙃 I can understand, but it's a pity

The staff was very rude and not accommodating at all. After informing that dogs are not allowed inside he shut the door in our face :( vegan options were non existant and it took a lot of persuasion to arrange cheese and fish to be taken out of the standart dish. Food was delicious though and portion size good, also quickly made. But for such food price I would expect the staff to be more welcoming.

(Translated by Google) I recommend the Georgian wine in the photo, 3.8 live, great. Traditional food, I went with natives, ask for schi soup, they put the meat on the side. Lylya kebab and chicken schashlik. (Original) Recomiendo el vino georgianiano de la foto, 3.8 en vivino, buenisimo. Comida tradicional, fui con autoctonos, pide sopa schi, te ponen la carne a parte. Lylya kebab y schashlik de pollo.

I liked this place a lot. The service was excellent. And the meal was also good. Even the kids eat them meals . If you are in Sigulda, this is the best place to eat.

Really nice place. Good value for money. Could have the option for later check-in (only until 21.00). Good breakfast included.

This is a nice restaurant with a good ambience and food. There is plenty of seating and the decor is very cute. The bread and green butter was very good; the black bread was okay but the white bread was so addicting. I ordered the duck fillet and it was delicious; I'm always nervous the duck is try, but it was very juicy, and the flavor and the sides were very good. The steak was good, not amazing but not bad. The trout was the same, fresh but nothing amazing; the salad it came with was good. I think the duck was probably my favorite delicious. I also wanted to try the spicy fish soup, but they ran out. Everything was plated very nicely as well.

Fazenda bazārs is a beautiful place with beautiful decoration the restaurant itself is a iconic traditional wicker house roof ,the interior is beautiful,stuff talk good english and very friendly and professional service,the food is also beautiful and well presented and tasty,if you are looking for a place to indulged yourself in Sigulda best dinner or lunch this is the place you should visit.my experience was great and I was also very pleased with there tasty food.

Really nice place in the middle of the town.The food is fairly priced.. Had the honey glazed trout and for dessert ordered off the kids menu.. PS: the side potatoes are very little, so if you are a party of 2 like we were consider ordering two plates.

The food was good and tasty however we had to wait long till the waitress comes to our table :/ We didn't have to wait long for the food tho which was great. 4 stars only beacause of the waitress. Everything else was perfect.

Food was good. When entering they told us that we were welcome but the waiting time could be 1,5 hours. In the end we had to wait only 30 mins for the food. We were surprised to see the food that fast. Great service, friendly staff and good food.

Place is very nice and menue,too, waiting staff is very helpful but waiting time is awful,its just not acceptable to wait more than 1 hour for mains and soup. But food is tasty,many thanks for food but waiting time kills it all

The staff was very friendly and it was pleasure to interact with them. I had pork and the white chocolate cheesecake. Excellent

Long waiting time for waitress to come to our table, something like 10 minutes, but the place was not full. And long waiting time for bringing us 2 soups. Food was OK, not excellent. But service could be better and waitreses could be more friendly, kind.

Decent food for a good price. This is a good place for a quick bite after exploring Sigulda. Lunch for 4 people cost us around €40 including two desserts and a coffee.

I absolutely love this restaurant!! Monaka was the best server, so ask for her when you go. We came 2 days in a row and the food is the best in town without a doubt. The Shrimp was so good too 🔥🔥🔥

We had dinner and a cocktel. The main course (duck), desserts, and drinks were delicious. You can see with the fotos ;-) Highly recommended!

Nice place to have fast lunch or dinner, nicely decorated, Friendly staff. They have tables inside also outside. Food was tasty, prices reasonable.

Quattro formaggio is extra cheezy (if you are “more is better” person then you will like it). But i would like a bit more salt and overal it tasted very basic. Would not recomend the pizzas

Cocktails were good, staff was meh. Brought pink G&T instead if ordered orange. Had to go to bar to pay as staff didn’t check whether we need anything else after 40 minutes. Overall, good place to chill unbothered by staff 😅

A bit of a mixed review as the food and drinks were really good, and the outside area was really nice to sit, especially in the sun. They had one of my favourite ciders available, which is actually English, but we never really see it in England. The sharer which I had with a friend as a starter was really good, balanced between, meats, cheeses, fruits, and breads. The beef cheeks for my main were tender and full of flavour. The downside was the service, we had to go up and ask to be served and then when it came to the bill was asked to pay cash, even though there was a card machine on site.

Fast service, but the food wasn’t really great, not fresh, the deserts were good, also salad. Expensive, Atmosphere ok. ~26€ for three people…

This restaurant be hard to navigate for a tourist, it’s a bistro setting with pre made Latvian dishes. The interior and outerior is beautiful with lots of woodwork sculptures.

Take away is avalaible. Prices are really compétitives. And food is extremely delicious. Toilets are cleaned and for free

Reasonable food, a bit overpriced, very outdated menu and serving style. Haven't seen salad being served in glass and layered/unmixed since mid 90s, so customer has to spend his own time to mix salad which should be kitchens job. Majority of food taste as it used to in soviet union times. Ordered boiled fried potatoes with mushroom gravy, chicken with cheese and pineapple and tongue salad. Not too impressed. Potatoes mushy, dry chicken which had taste of fish, as I suspect they used same frying pan they used for fish before, mushroom gravy barely had any mushrooms. Tongue salad served unmixed in layers and not balanced. Barely any meat and extreme amount of peas, so couldn't taste anything else except peas. Hopefully it be improved.

The food is OK but way overpriced, everything on the plate, the sauce, the salad etc is charged separately and in the end the meal is not worth it.

Nice, couzy and delicious place to eat.. and also not expensive :) Recommend 👍
