Description

Experience an unforgettable day trip from Riga as you journey to the iconic Hill of Crosses, a remarkable pilgrimage site in Lithuania adorned with over 200,000 crosses. Stroll along winding paths, learn about the site's spiritual significance, and even mark your own country or region on a map, making your visit truly personal.

Continue your adventure to Jelgava, home to Latvia's largest baroque palace. Admire the palace's impressive façade from the outside, then cross the modern pedestrian bridge to explore Post Island. Here, you'll discover a unique sculpture park that adds a creative flair to the city's landscape.

As you wander through Jelgava, see the statue of Latvia's first president and make your way to a watchtower overlooking fields where wild horses graze. This scenic spot offers a glimpse into the region's natural beauty and rich history, perfect for memorable photos.

The tour also takes you to the church tower, where you may choose to enter and, in good weather, enjoy panoramic views from the glass rooftop. Please note that tickets for the church tower are not included, and the rooftop is enclosed under glass for comfort in any season.

Your experience includes guided walks, photo stops, and a complimentary coffee break. With free toilets available in Jelgava or at a nearby gas station, your comfort is ensured throughout the five-hour tour. Group sizes are kept small for a personalized experience, and tours are available in multiple languages. Book now to secure your spot on this enriching journey through Latvia and Lithuania!
