Vilnius city municipality

Vilnius is a compact city known for its fascinating mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque structures and cobbled streets among the glitzy restaurants and mainstream clubs. It also houses the Old Town, one of the largest of its kind in eastern Europe. Today, the city is increasingly becoming popular for its unique history, captivating architectural heritage, and bustling cafe culture.

The peak travel season in Vilnius is from May to August. Some notable events include the pre-Lenten festival of Užgavėnės in February, St. Casmir’s Day in March, the film festival Kino Pavasaris in April, the Vilnius Festival in June to July, and the Velomarathon bike race in August.

Like most Baltic capitals, many of the attractions are located in the old town. So if you want to be close to everything, the best area to stay in is Vilnius Old Town. If you’re a foodie and want your tastebuds challenged with gastronomic curiosities, look no further than Užupis. Nature lovers, on the other hand, will love the Antakalnis neighborhood by the river Neris.
