This list rounds up the tours running from Riga to the Hill of Crosses, which stands across the border in Lithuania, about two hours south. Soviet authorities bulldozed the site at least three times, and locals replanted the crosses after every raid. More than a hundred thousand stand there now; walking among them is quietly overwhelming.
Discover the Hill of Crosses and Jelgava Gems on a scenic half-day tour from Riga, blending spiritual sights, beautiful landscapes, and Baltic culture.
