Best time to visit Lithuania

Although the coast is tempting in summer, the Baltic Sea breeze can drop temps quite dramatically so pack layers to be on the safe side.

Short summers and freezing winters set the scene with beach time in the Baltics best enjoyed from June to August. Either side of summer, May or September, is perfect for strolling over old town cobbles without the crowds or deserted dunes with a chunky jumper; and if you’re looking for a few feathers, March-April or Sep-Oct is the best time to visit Lithuania for bird watching. Packing a brolly and waterproofs is a good idea no matter when you’re travelling to Lithuania, we recommend chucking in some mosquito spray, just in case.

Lithuania travel advice

Tips on what to eat

Jenny Aitken shares her experiences of travelling in Lithuania:

“If you’re in Lithuania you have to try a Zepellin which is a giant potato dumping usually stuffed with pork mince or vegetables and served with a creamy mushroom sauce.”

Finding help

Simon Clifford, from out partner Exodus, shares his Lithuania travel advice:

“If you get lost or you need assistance then ask a younger person as the majority speaks English as a second language whereas older Lithuanians tend to favour Russian.”

Cultural tips

Jenny Aitken:

“The Stebuklas (Miracle) Tile in Vilnius is located in the main square and, apparently, if you spin around on it three times clockwise and make a wish it will come true.”

“The KGB Museum in Vilnius is housed in a former KGB office and offers a really interesting insight into life in Lithuania during the communist era.”
