Holiday In Vilnius

Young people today. Sometimes they create beautiful things instead of a mess. Case in point? Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Vilnius may feel like an old city (and it is—it was founded in 1387), but these days the young people are running the show and wearing cool shoes while doing it.

Historically pushed around during and after WWII, Vilnius has re-emerged as one of the strongest, prettiest and cheapest places to visit in the Baltic region. Think café steam, daring fashion, nightclub strobe lights and cobblestone streets. Tempted? We knew you would be. Pick out your Vilnius package deal and get going!

Things to Do and See

Wear the label “bookworm” as a badge of pride? Visit Literary Street during your Vilnius holiday. This stone wall in Old Town is filled with plaques and markers honouring the famous authors of the area. Unfortunately, that limerick you wrote back in primary school probably won’t get you a spot here.

Vilnius isn’t a city that shies away from its past struggles, and the Museum of Genocide Victims is one of the sites the locals will tell you to visit. You’ll see the former KGB headquarters, questioning rooms and artefacts from the Jewish population targeted by the Nazis. It’s a sombre visit, but it helps you understand why freedom is so appreciated here.

Speaking of independence, the avant-garde spirit is alive and well in the Uzupis district. This is the spot where the artists play, and you’ll find heaps of paintings, shoes and jewellery. There are also quite a few parks here, so lounge in the sun with a Vilnius pastry, getting your lips sticky.

Shopping, Dining, Nightlife

Shopping might be a hobby for you, but it’s a way of life in Vilnius. The local designer scene is huge, and Stikliu Street is where the popular kids hang out. Here you’ll find the latest fashions, as well as painting and glassblower studios. Remember how your flatmate would always steal clothes from your closet? Prepare for that to happen again after your Vilnius holiday. Don’t want to carry all those bags to the hotel? Check out our Vilnius car hire options for an easy ride to your room.

If you’re a meat and potatoes person, you’ve met your match in Vilnius. The speciality in these parts is kibinai, which are pastries stuffed with meat, potatoes or jam. Dinner might be heavy, but breakfast is light, with sugar-coasted pastries. Remember: With money saved from your Vilnius package, you can order a few extra sweets for later.

The sun has gone down. Now what? Your holiday in Vilnius isn’t complete without some club-hopping. Head to the river area, where you’ll find wine bars, beer-soaked pubs and VIP dance clubs packed full. Start a tab and jump right in.
