This is most popular tour to the Hill of Crosses and it takes about 5 hours. There is a possibility to buy own cross or crucifixes and donate it. There are also nice amber shop with charming jewelry creations.

After visiting the Hill of Crosses on the way back to Riga we are visiting Jelgava Palace. This is the largest Baroque - style palace in the Baltic States with architecture very similar to Rundale Palace or Winter Palace in St.Petersbourg. It was built in the 18th century based on the design of court architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli as a residence for the Dukes of Courland capital of Mitau (today's Jelgava city).

Žagarė (Zhager in Yiddish) had one of the oldest Jewish communities in Lithuania. There was a continuous Jewish presence in Žagarė from at least the 16th century until October 1941. In its heyday Zhager was known as a city of Torah and wisdom; it produced famous scholars, writers, and rabbis. In nowadays town is known for it`s manor ( Žagarės dvaras ) and Cherry festival, Pann's house and story of St.Barbora of Žagare.

Rundale Palace is one of the two major baroque palaces built for the Dukes of Courland in what is now Latvia, the other being Jelgava Palace. The palace was built in two periods, from 1736 until 1740 and from 1764 until 1768. The palace is one of the major tourist attractions in Latvia. It is also used for the accommodation and ceremonies of notable guests. The palace and the surrounding are now a museum and French garden with one of the largest rosariums in Europe is must to see in July.

Siauliai, the fourth-largest city in Lithuania, has a rich history dating back to the 11th century. In the chronicles of the crusader Knights of the Sword (1236) it is variously referred to as Soule, Saulia and Saulen. 22 September 1236, the date of the battle of the Sun which took place nearby is now considered to be the date of the city's foundation. Šiauliai's tourism scene is vibrant, offering the chance to visit tourism attractions conected with arts – many sculptures on the streetys and parks, Jewish history – Chaimas Frenkelis Villa, for cats lover – the Cat's museum and to scrol down to the one of the longest pedestrian streets in Europe Siaulia Boulevard. The one of the largest Sundial in Europe is also in Siauliai. The architectural ensemble consists of the amphitheatre-shaped square and 18 metres high obelisk, crowned with the sculpture of the running archer. On a sunny day, this obelisk turns into the gnomon: casting the shadow of the Sun, moving around the dial face with infused metal numbers (12, 3 and 6), it shows local time of the geographical latitude.

After visiting the Hill of Crosses is possible on the on the way back stop at one of the cafes and taste traditional Lithuanian dishes. For example, zeppelins, which are made according to different recipes, but they are definitely dumplings of grated potatoes filled with minced pork. Of course, there are other dishes for vegetarians as well. Lithuanian beer also goes down well. Bon appetit!
