Overview

This is a quick and easy way to visit 2 countries in 1 day and fit in three beautiful and unique visitor sites as you go!

Start with a stop at the Bauska Medieval castle where you'll have time to go up in the recently renovated tower.
Continue with little Versailles - Rundale palace and its gardens! This is your opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the palace with no queues. Free time to enjoy the palace, and gardens and also to have lunch here, if you wish.

And last but not least - visit the unique Hill of Crosses in Lithuania! Now you can tick off another country in your list as there will be a border crossing!

We'll organize comfy transportation, good and professional drivers, and printout sheets with information about all of these sites so you can enjoy everything at your own pace. Please know that you can bring a cross to the Hill of Crosses if you wish. There are also locals selling crosses on site.
