Vilnius Summer City Break
Uncover the dynamic spirit of Vilnius on this three-night summer city break, where centuries of history meet vibrant modern culture.
Uncover the dynamic spirit of Vilnius on this three-night summer city break, where centuries of history meet vibrant modern culture. Begin your journey with a guided walk through the UNESCO-listed Old Town, where cobbled streets echo stories of resilience and reinvention. Sample local delicacies at the historic Halle Market, admire the iconic Gate of Dawn, and visit the former KGB headquarters to gain insight into Lithuania’s complex 20th-century past.
Use your free day to dive deeper into the city or book an optional excursion to Trakai, a postcard-perfect lakeside town crowned by a red-brick island castle. Back in Vilnius, explore the grand halls and exhibitions at the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, or take a tour of Lukiškės Prison 2.0 – a one-time jail turned cultural hotspot that now hosts art installations, concerts, and guided tours.
Art lovers can discover contemporary works at the MO Museum, and those visiting in late May and early summer can soak up the festival atmosphere during events like the Pink Soup Fest and open-air concerts across the city. This city break offers a unique blend of history, creativity, and summer energy.
