Highlights

Discover the mysterious Hill of Crosses, a hilltop just outside the northern city of Šiauliai, adorned with thousands of metal and wooden crosses. This enigmatic site has earned a spot on the list of the ten creepiest places in the world. Despite government attempts to level it, the Hill of Crosses continues to thrive, making it a must-see for thrill-seekers.

The first recorded mention of these crosses dates back to 1850, but some believe they appeared earlier as a place of religious pilgrimage. Many were added as a memorial to those who lost their lives during the Russian regime in 1831 and 1863. Witness the crucifixes swaying in the breeze, view photos of revered patriots, and delve into the art of cross-making and local culture through your audio guide.

Visit the famous Hill of Crosses outside the city of Šiauliai, where Pope John Paul II held the most highly attended mass in Lithuania, in 1993
See more than 100,000 crucifixes and other religious icons covering the hill and learn about the craft of cross-making
Stop for lunch in a restaurant recommended by your Lithuanian driver, or bring your own lunch to eat wherever you like
