Description

Embarking on the journey from Riga to Vilnius with visits to Rundale Palace, Hill of Crosses, and medieval Kernave promises a captivating and enriching experience for the customer. The adventure begins in Riga, where the customer will be greeted by the charming driver. After boarding the comfortable transportation, they'll be whisked away to the first stop: Rundale Palace. As they approach, the grandeur of the Baroque-style palace set amidst picturesque gardens will leave them awe-inspired. Exploring the opulent interiors, adorned with intricate details and lavish furnishings, will transport them back to the era of European aristocracy. Next, the journey continues to the Hill of Crosses, a sacred site shrouded in mystique and spirituality. The sight of thousands of crosses, crucifixes, and religious symbols crowding the hilltop is both humbling and deeply moving. Amidst the serene atmosphere, the customer can take a moment for reflection and contemplation, perhaps leaving a cross of their own as a symbol of hope or prayer. As the journey progresses towards Vilnius, a stop at Kernave, often referred to as the 'Troy of Lithuania,' is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts. Located just 35 km from Vilnius, this ancient capital of Lithuania offers a journey through time, from the early Stone Age to the medieval period. Visitors can explore its impressive hillforts, which were once the heart of a thriving community, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Neris River Valley. The site also features an open-air archaeological museum, where you can learn about Lithuania's rich past and see reconstructions of ancient dwellings. Finally, arriving in Vilnius, at the customer hotel. As they bid farewell to their unforgettable journey, they'll carry with them memories of the majestic palaces, sacred sites, and cultural treasures that make the Baltic region truly unique.
