Book cheap flights to Vilnius

The best time to visit Vilnius is between the months of April and June, before the rush of summer visitors arrive. During these springs months you can look forward to temperatures that range around 16°C. Of course, if you’re after the experience of an authentic and raw European winter, then you should definitely consider visiting during the winter months from November to February. You will have to pack in some thermal underwear and an extra thick coat with lows of -4 degrees Celsius, but you will get to experience something unique and also participate in some winter sports such as skiing and snow sledding.

Vilnius is a tourist-friendly city and visitors can enjoy their stay without having to worry about their personal safety. General precautions should, as always, be taken as the city does get quite busy over the summer period and petty theft can occur. Pubs and nightclubs can get a bit rowdy late in the evenings but tourists are fine to walk alone in the evenings.

It is always important to go for a general health check-up before a trip overseas. It is best to do this 4-6 weeks before your trip. For your trip to Lithuania, it is recommended to get a vaccination against hepatitis A, as well as hepatitis B and rabies.
