Pope John Paul II was the first Roman pontiff who visited Lithuania in September 1993.

In the very beginning of his pontificate John Paul II spontaneously pronounced his famous phrase: “Half of my heart is in Lithuania”. The tour will include two sites which were visited by Pope - Siluva Shrine of our lady and Hill of the Crosses, and one extra site with beatyfull monastery of Tytuvenai. Tour starts from Vilnius and heads to Siluva. Since the beginning of the XVI century Siluva has been famous for the indulgenced Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Siluva is famous for the first widely known apparition of the Mother of God in Europe. Today Siluva is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Lithuania with its ancient tradition of the indulgenced Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Route of John Paul II: Hill of Crosses, Tytuvenai, Shrine of our Lady of Siluva: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vilnius.
How much does Route of John Paul II: Hill of Crosses, Tytuvenai, Shrine of our Lady of Siluva cost?
+
Prices start at $280 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vilnius usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Route of John Paul II: Hill of Crosses, Tytuvenai, Shrine of our Lady of Siluva take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vilnius is not rushed.
Is Route of John Paul II: Hill of Crosses, Tytuvenai, Shrine of our Lady of Siluva worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vilnius, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Route of John Paul II: Hill of Crosses, Tytuvenai, Shrine of our Lady of Siluva?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Route of John Paul II: Hill of Crosses, Tytuvenai, Shrine of our Lady of Siluva suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Route of John Paul II: Hill of Crosses, Tytuvenai, Shrine of our Lady of Siluva?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vilnius can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vilnius and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Route of John Paul II: Hill of Crosses, Tytuvenai, Shrine of our Lady of Siluva start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vilnius within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vilnius?
+
On Outty we rank every Vilnius experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Admission Ticket at Auto Museum Vilnius, Regular walking tour of Soviet Vilnius, Regular walking tour of Jewish Vilnius. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vilnius?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vilnius?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
