Alūksne Sightseeing Tower

In winter and during the off-season, provided the weather is suitable and safe, the tower is open to groups of 10 or more people, subject to prior arrangement of the visit time.

The viewing platform is located above the treetops, yet nearby trees obstruct the view in some places.

Yes, absolutely! The landscape changes with the seasons—it is especially magnificent during the golden autumn, at sunset, or on the “Evening of Candles” in early October, when, during the tower’s opening hours, you can already see the illuminated city at night.

Next to the tower, you will find the Sun Bridge, a granite rotunda known as the Temple of Glory, the ZZZIPPP zipline, and a pedestrian bridge where music plays on the hour.

The nearest parking area, about a 3-minute walk away, is located in the square by the cemetery, from where a well-maintained path leads to the Sightseeing tower.
