Overview

Our journey started on Cool Shore Excursions with Latvia Tours on Cool Shore Excursions by Latvian Gem where we became one of the first companies in Latvia to offer both transportation and tours, corporative events, activities for international visitors.

Hill of Crosses - a site with hundreds of thousands of crosses representing faith of people of all over the world. Site once visited by Pope John Paul II keeps welcoming travelers with its stories!

It’s a simple and easy ride to the Hill which takes about 1h 55min each way. There will be printouts to read on the way. Additionally there is a virtual tour available at the Hill (works online on your phone)!

On the way back you'll have a chance to stop on the border for a photo and drive through the city of Jelgava where you'll see the largest Baroque palace n Baltics!

The tour will operate if there are at least 3 people booked in for that day.
