When to Visit

Lithuania, a fusion of historical cities and untouched natural beauty, is a year-round destination. To capture the country’s outdoor charm, visit between June and August.

The shoulder seasons – May and September – gift mild temperatures and fewer crowds, ideal for city exploration and countryside ambles. For the budget-conscious traveller, the chillier November to April period offers affordability and sprinkles European Christmas magic into the historic towns. Remember, Lithuania’s indoor attractions – museums, castles, art galleries – are as splendid as its open-air wonders, meaning there's never a bad time to visit.
