Day trips
From Riga to Lithuania's port city on the Baltic coast, with castles, a palace and the Hill of Crosses along the way. Door to door, both directions, one price per vehicle.
Klaipėda is 307 km from Riga, about 3 hours 45 minutes of driving. It is Lithuania's port and the gateway to the Curonian Spit, with a historic old town of half-timbered houses and a waterfront that rewards a slow evening.
The road south passes some of the best stops in the Baltics. With a private driver you can see Bauska Castle, Rundāle Palace and the Hill of Crosses and still arrive in Klaipėda the same day.

A castle where two rivers meet, the Mūsa and the Mēmele, which together form the Lielupe. It combines the ruins of a Livonian Order fortress with a later residence of the Dukes of Courland, and it is among the most photogenic places in southern Latvia. Bauska is about an hour south of Riga.
Extra stop: +€50 Add to my trip
A Baroque residence designed by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, the architect of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, for the Dukes of Courland. Allow at least 1.5 hours for the state rooms and the large French-style garden. It is about 80 km from Riga.
