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.

Cần Quan Tâm

Kryziu Kalnas

This sacred site in Lithuania features thousands of crosses symbolizing faith, hope, and resilience. Your guide will explain its powerful history and meaning, after which you'll have time to explore and, if you wish, leave your own cross. Domus Mariae Monastery (nearby) A peaceful monastery offering quiet reflection and an open chapel for visitors. A serene contrast to the dramatic symbolism of the hill.

Impressive due to its uniqueness and originality! You can feel there – on this very small piece of land – an incredible force by so many crosses .. you can feel the passage of years and the strength of a resistance!
Great tour, great guide, great value!

This was a fun and fascinating tour and a very good value! Our guide Viktorija was so knowledgeable and informative, not only about the places we saw, but also about Latvia's past and present. She made sure we had enough time for each stop and made an effort to talk to the solo travelers. I highly recommend it!

Over an hour at Hill of crosses and lovely meal on way back we had homemade pumpkin soup and a croissant filled with salad and avocado and warm .Two lovely cakes and we both had a lovely hot chocolate each all for around 18 euros.
Very humbling and shows that one place can help people from anywhere

I saw pictures online before going but it didn’t prepare me for just how many crosses are on this hill. By hill I also mean more of a mound of earth. The crosses are placed there by people of different beliefs, for different reasons and with any type of cross. There are crosses carved in wood with ornate designs, metal crosses with intricate designs, crosses made from rocks, legos, sticks, bike gears, glass and anything else you could imagine. You don’t have to be religious to appreciate the faith and hope people have when they come here. You won’t see anything like this anywhere else, so if you’re in the area, go for a humbling site. The true beginning of this hill is unknown but there are legends of how it started.
Amazing experience

This is a wonderful day trip for those with limited time in Latvia. The guide was incredibly knowledge of local history and culture and shared all her knowledge with the group. We saw the hill of crosses in Lithuania, the Latvian/Lithuanian border where we stopped for photos, a Russian Orthodox Church and old castle in Jelgava and had lunch is the most quaint little restaurant on the water front. You could just sit back and relax for the day while learning and seeing new things and places. Delighted I went!
