Amazing experience & would highly recommend - We had a fantastic time, but it is really high and quite scary if you’re afraid of heights! We went to see the painting which closes at 5:30, so make sure you go in good time for this. There was a huge queue walking up the rock and we were therefore stood in the middle of the steps for a while waiting for some people to walk. We were almost late to see the painting.
Would also recommend coming without anything to carry in your hands so that you can hold the rails, and also wear trainers or secure shoes and avoid sandals or loose flip flop type footwear; we saw some people lose their flip flop whilst walking up!
Also, bring some water as you’ll be thirsty after doing all those steps & tie your hair back if you have long hair; it’s really windy at the top!
Amazing experience though and would highly recommend

Anuradhapura good for spiritual travels and Sigiriya good for travelers who wants to get cultural & hiking experience - Anuradhapura is a very calm place to everyone how is looking for spiritual tours. Specifically Ruwanwalimahasaya give very calm feeling in morning and evening time. I can't explain it in words. Actually everyone wants to get that feeling in there. Secondly Sigiriya, is a amazing place with lots of ruins. You all can take many photos in Sigiriya. Sun rise in top of the lion rock is supeb.

A must go! - The view is incredible, but you need to walk the route very calmly and measure your effort, especially because of the humidity and the narrow steps!
Those who can't make it to the top can enjoy practically the same view halfway up the climb, where there is an intermediate area with a superb view.
It's a shame there isn't a permanent handrail, which would help people with more difficulties.
Watch out for the monkeys! Anyone who is eating something absent-mindedly runs the risk of being robbed! The same for backpacks with food inside...

Disproportionate price - Unfortunately all the beauty and wonder of the place is ruined by the cost of admission: for foreign tourists over $34. Absurd figure and totally pluckers.
I wouldn't do that again.
