Plan your summer in Vilnius

Vilnius doesn’t take vacation in the summer! There’s no time like the present when the city is buzzing with events, music, festivals and activities. There’s so much action in the sky, in the water and on the ground that it would take almost the whole summer to try it all. The abundance of choice is more intoxicating than the hot sun. Fortunately, you can always refresh yourself with the world’s tastiest cold soup - cold pink soup (Šaltibarščiai), the freshest handmade ice cream or coffee on the open-air terrace. Time to make plans for the summer!

Events

One big party awaits you! No matter what kind of music you like, whether you have free time during the day or at night, Vilnius is glowing with colour and inviting you to dance without stopping. With Lithuanian and international performers, art installations, contemporary theatre and spectacular folk performances, Vilnius is a melting pot of cultures, just as it has been throughout its 702-year history.

The action in Vilnius never stops, whether you’re a picnicker, a wanderer on the forest paths, or just dreaming of soaring above the clouds or warming up on the sand.

Whether the sky is sunny or starry, Vilnius invites you to go on an adventure.    

Flavours

This summer is also a fateful one for Vilnius restaurants, with the Michelin Guide's evaluators finding a wide range of dishes and awarding 4 restaurants with prestigious stars and 29 restaurants on the recommended list.
