Save time and money traveling from Vilnius to Riga!!
Guaranteed departure
Travel from Vilnius to Riga with ease and explore the world famous attractions under your own steam. This Baltic road trip will take you to the small, grey Jurgaiciai (Domantai) hillock, located in the North of Lithuania, which houses the thousands of crosses of every shape and size and has became the symbol of hope and persistence. The Rundale Palace, built in the eighteenth century as a summer residence of the Duke of Courland, will be another break of the Vilnius – Riga bus trip. This bright Baroque style building, surrounded by the extensive and splendid garden, is often referred to as the Versailles of Latvia and is a well worth visiting. Before reaching your destination you’ll make a stopover at the Bauska Castle complex, consisting of the ruins of an earlier castle and a newer palace.

Cần Quan Tâm
Hill Of Crosses (kryziU Kalnas)
The Hill of Crosses, located sixteen kilometers from Siauliai city, is an authentic monument of history and religious folk art. This small hill with a collection of over 200 000 crosses is the best repository of Lithuanian cross making art and the representation of unshakable faith and a symbol of resistance against occupation.
Rundale Palace Museum
The Rundale Palace, located just 15 kilometres from Lithuania – Latvia border, was built in the 18th century by Ernst Johann von Biron, as the summer residence of the Duke of Courland. The palace was designed by Italian architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, an author of the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg. In the course of time and political rush the Palace has changed many owners and purposes – it was used as a hospital, elementary school or even a grain storage facility. Nowadays, after extensive and successful renovation process, The Rundale Palace Museum and Garden attracts masses of tourists and is deservingly called a „Versailles of Latvia“.

Hill of Crosses alone worth the trip.

4.00Comfortable van, pleasant company for the ride, & nice to see the countryside. I was mostly interested in visiting the Hill of Crosses, so the other two stops were too extra for me, although the other participants seemed to like them.
A very well-studied and touristically profitable city-to-city trip, very informative with an excellent value for money

5.00Excellent idea of the travel platform to combine a trip between 2 capital cities with 3 "tourist" tours. Our charming driver (there were only 3 participants), perfect English speaker, wore the guide cap between the different stages. He answered all our questions including politically sensitive ones... It’s a long day, from 8 to 5 p.m., with more than an hour of downtime on each visit, we are comfortable! I find the price (€95) largely justified (small group, driver/guide, distance covered...) even if it does not include tickets to Rondale and Bauska. We slowed down at the crossing of the Lithuanian-Latvian border to photograph the place... By the way, the roads are impeccable in both countries, the departure is near Vilnius Cathedral and the arrival in the center of Riga. I recommend this 'trip', which is also proposed in the Riga-Vilnius direction.

5.00The best way to get from Vilnius to Riga. Had a full day exploring the hill of crosses, Rundale Palace and Bauska Palace. It was nice to see these sights on the way in order to maximize my time in the Baltics. The only thing I would change is Inwish we had more time at the Rundale Palace/lunch stop. I didn’t get any food because all my time was spent exploring the beautiful palace and gardens out back. The 3rd stop at the Bauska Castle could be shortened to make up the time since it wasn’t as interesting
Good but could be improved

5.00I was able to take a relatively leisurely tour of places I would like to visit that are difficult to reach. If anything, I wish I could have stayed a little longer in the Palazzo Randale. We skipped lunch and had time to visit. I guess that's the limit in this time!
Good experience

4.00Convenient way to move from Vilnius to Riga with your luggage in tow by visiting some sites (Hill of Crosses, Rundale and Baula Castle). The driver and 'was friendly and punctual, the journeys with times appropriate to visits, but improve the accuracy of explanations , perhaps combining an audio guide in different languages during the journey to complete the experience with more information.
Great sights with comfy transport!

5.00Great way to combine transportation with sightseeing. Fresh, comfy and air conditioned van for 8 people picked us up and drove us safely there. Alex our driver was also a good guide. All the 3 stops was amazing, but really liked the Latvian Versailles. You then get dropped off in Riga city centre. Do this tour instead of flying or taking the train, you won't regret it.
Long day but three...

5.00Long day but three different interesting stops. The Hill of Crosses was over the top and the Rundale palace was also in a completely different way. Good driver and clean van.
