Heading for Riga, the first stop is the Hill of Crosses, one of the most holy sites of Catholic Lithuania.

After crossing into Latvia we soon reach the magnificent Rundale Palace, the former summer residence of the Duke of Courland. This impressive Baroque palace was created by the famous Italian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli, responsible for the majority of iconic building in St. Petersburg, Russia. Following a guided tour of the palace we travel through the rolling hills of Southern Latvia to reach Riga late afternoon, check-in at Hotel Radisson Blu **** or similar.
