What is the best time to visit Vilnius?
The best time to visit Vilnius depends on your interests and what you want to experience. Here’s what you can expect throughout the year:
Spring (April to June)
Spring is one of the most beautiful times to visit Vilnius. The weather is mild and the city’s parks and gardens are in full bloom. It’s an ideal time for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
Summer (July to August)
Summer is the peak tourist season, with warm temperatures averaging between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F). The city is lively with festivals, open-air events and busy cafes. However, expect more crowds.
Autumn (September to November)
Autumn brings cooler temperatures and fewer tourists. The autumn colours makes the city particularly picturesque.
Winter (December to February)
Winter in Vilnius is cold, with temperatures often dropping below freezing. However, the city’s Christmas markets and festive decorations create a magical atmosphere.
We visited late novemer to explore the christmas markets, if you don't mind the cold, it’s definitely one of the best times to visit!
