Enjoy a fully organized day tour from Riga to the Hill of Crosses and Jelgava, combining comfortable transportation, guided experiences, and carefully selected highlights across Latvia and Lithuania.

Travel across two countries in one day without the need to plan anything — your route, stops, and timing are all arranged for a smooth and well-structured experience.

Everything is organized for you, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience rather than logistics.

This tour is designed to offer more than just transportation between locations. With a clear itinerary, guided introductions at each stop, and thoughtful details such as bottled water and a traditional local drink experience, the day feels balanced, engaging, and easy to enjoy from start to finish.

The journey begins with a scenic drive toward Lithuania. Along the way, your guide shares historical context and local insights, helping you better understand the region you are exploring.

You will stop at the Latvia–Lithuania border for photos and a short introduction before continuing to the Hill of Crosses — one of the most unique pilgrimage sites in Europe. Here, your guide provides an informative introduction, followed by free time to explore at your own pace, walk among thousands of crosses, and experience the atmosphere.

There is also an opportunity to visit the nearby Franciscan monastery, where the open chapel offers a quiet space for reflection.

After visiting the Hill of Crosses, the tour continues to Jelgava. A relaxed walking introduction takes you through the city, including views of Jelgava Palace, the riverside promenade, and key landmarks such as the Orthodox Cathedral of St. Simeon and St. Anna, while your guide shares the city’s history and character.

A lunch break is included during the day, giving you time to rest and enjoy a meal at a local café or restaurant (food and drinks not included).

To complete the experience, you will enjoy a traditional Latvian herbal drink — a local specialty that adds an authentic and memorable touch to the end of your journey.
