Overview

This tour offers a rare two-country experience in just one day. From Riga, you'll travel to Lithuania's Hill of Crosses, a haunting and deeply symbolic site of resistance and hope. Along the way, enjoy regional insights from your guide and a scenic photo stop at the Latvia–Lithuania border.

Unlike standard tours, this journey also explores Jelgava — a hidden gem known for its riverside promenade, Orthodox cathedral, and the largest Baroque palace in the Baltics. A stop for coffee and a leisurely lunch adds comfort to cultural discovery. Meals are not included in the tour price, giving you the flexibility to choose from a variety of local dishes according to your own taste and preference. Perfect for travelers who want more than just checkmarks — this tour delivers meaning, story, and memory.
