Cēsu Vēstures un mākslas muzejs

This is a very vast museum on multiple floors with several permanent and special exhibitions. Very vell worth the visit alone or combining woth a visit to a nearby medieval castle.

Pieaugušiem ieejas cena 10 euro. Lai būtu interesantāk iesaku paņemt gidu, tad muzejam un teritorijai ir sava burvība.

The castle and museum are connected as part of the same attraction, although you can get tickets for each separately or combined. We did the combo ticket and really enjoyed the castle, but were a bit disappointed with the museum. I'd give the castle 5 stars and the museum 3 stars.The castle grounds have some great vantage points for taking photos of the castle itself. The tour through the castle is very well done as well, with placards in Latvian and English. They also have several multimedia displays and videos with English subtitles. The interior staircases of the towers are not lit and they offer real candle lanterns to help navigate, which was fun. The top of the tallest tower features a very well done video that is projected onto the walls and doorways and shows a rolling history through time of the castle.The museum is in the new castle building and was a bit disappointing. The lights for the displays were not working for several exhibits and most of the items on display had their placards only in Latvian. One of their computer monitor interactive displays was also not functioning. The museum has exhibits about the construction of the castle, the history of Latvia, and some model rooms as they would have been when they were in use. There is a nice view of Cesis from the open top of the tower at the end of the tour route.

Well, the museum didn't live up to my expectations, plus, I got a bit angry when I found out that I had to pay the museum entrance fee to see the castle :( bit I really liked the town of Cesi.

Interesanti eksponāti muzejā,daudz ko var uzzināt,skaista un mierīga vieta...

Great Historic location, previous visitors include the Teutonic Knights, Ivan the Terrible and the Napoleonic army. Would come back again during the summer. The staff running the location were absolutely amazing and informative.

Had a great experience exploring the castle. There are many things in the castle, worth the admission price. Highly recommend visiting the old castle.

Patīkama izklaide visai ģimenei (sevišķi nedēļas nogalēs, kad norisinās amatnieku darbnīcas), tikai jārēķinās ar diezgan blīvu tūristu plūsmu, no kuriem tikai retais aizdomājas par Covid-19 apstākļos vajadzīgo piesardzību.

Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent exhibitions. Would like information in English on the exhibitions instead of a separate set of papers.
