Itinerary

Arrival in Vilnius, transfer to hotel, check-in and free time. OVERNIGHT: VILNIUS
Breakfast buffet. 09:00 Guided tour. Vilnius is famous for being the most baroque city in the Nordic Europe, for all these little narrow streets and for beautiful panorama with the numerous belfries. During the tour you will visit: Cathedral Square and the Cathedral, Castle Street, Town Hall square, Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit, St. Ann and Bernadine’s Church known as the Gothic corner of Vilnius, the Gate of Dawn with the holy image of the Virgin Mary, the Jewish ghetto, Vilnius University, Presidential Palace and the Sts. Peter and Paul’s Church, referred as the pearl of Lithuania for the dazzling white gorgeous decorations made by Italian craftsmen. 13:00 Free time for lunch. 14:15 Departure to Trakai. 15:30 Guided tour. Trakai is famous for its picturesque landscape and the Trakai Castle Island. The construction of the castle was begun by the Grand Duke Kęstutis and was concluded in the early 15th century by his son Vytautas. It was meant to be a fortress, and it has never been conquered by any invading force. In the 16th century, without the military and residential functions, the castle lost its importance and the visits of Grand Dukes became increasingly seldom. The Lithuanian Metrics that had been kept in the castle were moved to Vilnius in 1511, and the Island Castle became a prison for noblemen. The castle stands on a beautiful island, located on lake Galve which is the source of many legends and stories. Trakai is also known for the Karaimes, who have lived there since the 14th century and have preserved their traditions. 17:30 Return to Vilnius. Free time. OVERNIGHT: VILNIUS
Breakfast buffet. 09:00 Departure to Siauliai. 11:30 Guided tour. Stop at famous Hill of Crosses near Siauliai UNESCO site. Hill of Crosses – is one of the most sacred places not only in Lithuania, but also throughout the Baltic region. It is a hill, on which there are thousands of differently sized crosses and rosaries all over them. The story tells that in the end of 19th century people started putting crosses on the hill in the memory of unknown victims of rebellion against tsar of Russia. The tradition spread out and in the beginning of 20th century the hill became a sacred place for all Christians around the country. During the Soviet times government authorities tried to destroy the place, but each time the crosses arose again. Just before the dawn of independence special services stopped preventing people from visiting the hill. Today the Hill of Crosses is not only a religious symbol, but also a symbol of resistance. A place with so many crosses and devotion to faith and to motherland you won’t find anywhere in the world. 13:30 Free time for lunch. 14:45 Departure to Latvia. 15:45 Guided tour.
