The air tram in Sigulda takes you across the Gauja river to Turaida where stands the magnificant medieval castle I was posting about some time ago. This is a view from Krimulda palace.
Sigulda and its surrounding is one of the most visited places in Latvia.

From the homepage of Bīriņi Castle: Today Birini Castle is owned and operated privately as a family enterprise and along with its hotel and baths, serves as a hospitality center for all manner of events including banquets, weddings, formal balls, seminars, excursions and anniversary parties.
And from myself: The castle restaurant is excellent. Great service and delicious food! Thanks!
