The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania is a profoundly unique and free pilgrimage site, open year-round, though the most comfortable visiting period is from spring to early autumn. While there are no seasonal restrictions, winter can be cold but offers a stark beauty. The site itself is largely accessible via gravel paths, suitable for most visitors, including those with mobility aids, after a short walk from the parking area (which has a small fee). Visitors typically spend 1-2 hours exploring the thousands of crosses. It can be easily visited independently, though guided tours from nearby cities like Šiauliai, Vilnius, or Riga provide valuable historical context. Budget-wise, beyond transportation, costs are minimal. A meaningful tradition is for visitors to bring their own cross to add to the collection.
