When to go à VILNIUS ?
As the country is located at the northern latitude of Canada, Lithuania's weather is characterized by harsh winters. The further inland, especially in Vilnius, the more continental the climate becomes, with temperatures 4°C lower than on the coast in winter and at least 2°C higher in summer. Summer days are particularly long (especially in June) with an average of 20 °C, while in winter the average temperature in Lithuania is -7 °C, with peaks of -30 °C.
When to go to Lithuania and discover Vilnius? It all depends on what you are looking for. The high tourist season runs from June 20 to August 31 and is undoubtedly the best time to visit Lithuania, due to the pleasant summer climate. However, it is essential to take into account that the number of visitors is increasing during this busy period, and the prices of accommodation are higher (it becomes imperative to make reservations). The Christmas and Easter periods attract mainly tourists from the region (Scandinavians and Russians) and are appreciated for the various celebrations that take place. The off-seasons are autumn (October and November) and late winter (March and early April), largely due to the weather: autumn is gray, even dark and wet, and late winter is wet snow and sleet. For winter sports enthusiasts wondering when to go to Lithuania, the best time is definitely January and February. Then you can enjoy Liepkalnis, the largest ski area in Vilnius with 10 slopes of varying difficulty, snow parkas, a ski school, a café and a restaurant. The Vilnius winter sports complex is, of course, located at the highest point of the city.

Discover VILNIUS
Vilnius is one of the oldest Baltic towns, a fascinating city and one of the region's major industrial, scientific and cultural centers. It gives the impression of a large provincial town, with a pleasant living environment and apparent tranquility, especially when strolling along the left bank in the old historic center. Its architecture is fairly uniformly Baroque, giving it a harmonious, even movie-set feel. This atmosphere is echoed by the city's inhabitants, who are renowned for their warmth and openness. On the right bank of the River Neris, the skyscrapers of the newest part of Vilnius, the old factories and social housing from the Soviet era, contrast with the baroque charm of the old town. Vilnius, like the turbulent history of the Lithuanian nation, has seen many ups and downs, but is resolutely looking to the future.
