From Riga: Kaunas One Way Tour With Sighseeing Stops

Your final sightseeing stop before reaching Riga is the charming town of Bauska, known for its peaceful atmosphere and historical heritage. Here you can explore the famous Bauska Castle, beautifully situated between two rivers. The restored sections of the castle reveal the strategic importance of the region and the life of its former rulers. Surrounding nature adds to the sense of calm, offering a lovely contrast to the grandeur of Rundāle Palace. It’s a gentle, enjoyable stop that enriches the journey.

Next, your journey takes you to the magnificent Rundāle Palace, a baroque masterpiece often compared to Versailles. Inside, you’ll explore luxurious halls decorated with stucco, frescoes, and elegant 18th-century furnishings. Each room reveals the refined lifestyle of the Courland nobility, immersing you in the elegance of a bygone era. Outside, the French-style gardens unfold in perfect symmetry, offering peaceful pathways and beautifully designed flowerbeds. It’s a place where history, art, and beauty come together effortlessly.

As you step onto the hill, you’ll find yourself surrounded by tens of thousands of crosses placed over many decades by pilgrims, travelers, and local families.
