Among the main points of interest are Turaida Castle, founded in the XIII century, Sigulda Old and New Castles, as well as the architecture of the Lutheran Church of St. Berthold and the Krimulda Church of the early XIII century. The city has preserved medieval fortifications, museums and cultural monuments that tell about the life of the Livonian Order, local nobility and merchant traditions.
The natural gems of the region are no less impressive: Gauja National Park is the largest in Latvia with its valley, forest trails and limestone cliffs, Gutman Cave with a picturesque stream, as well as parks and embankments that create ideal conditions for hiking and active recreation.
