Enjoy a diverse and memorable small-group day trip from Riga that blends culture, history, spirituality, and nature. Travel to the iconic Hill of Crosses in Lithuania, one of Europe’s most unique pilgrimage sites, before continuing to Jelgava, home to the largest Baroque palace in the Baltics. Capture great photos and hear engaging stories about the city’s fascinating and turbulent past.

Your journey continues to Jurmala, Latvia’s beloved seaside resort town, known for its charming wooden architecture, vibrant promenade, and wide stretches of white-sand beach along the Baltic coast. Enjoy a relaxed stroll, breathe in fresh sea air, and sample local treats before returning to Riga.

This small-group tour offers a well-balanced mix of architecture, history, religion, and nature—an excellent alternative to standard Hill of Crosses tours, and a perfect way to experience the diverse highlights of both Latvia and Lithuania in one enriching day.

I was on a solo trip to end a business trip in Sept 2025. When I started browsing things to do I got in touch with Latvian Gem and Krista was a huge help in planning a day trip for me. I wanted to see the Hill of Crosses at sunrise, but I also had all day to do other things. I took her suggestions for Jelgava and the beach town of Jūrmala and had a great day with tour guide Viesturs. He was timely, friendly and knowledgeable! I had a wonderful day on this tour! Highly recommend.
