When to go?
Summer is perhaps the most exciting time to travel to Lithuania.
Lots of street activity and open-air concerts are taking place and all of the attractions are open. From early June to the end of August is the peak tourist season therefore its worth to book your accommodation in advance.
From the middle of June till the middle of August, when you usually get the warmest weather in Lithuania, is the best time to visit Lithuanian seaside and enjoy the best of its beach life.
Summers in Lithuania are usually warm and sunny, though be prepared for some cloudy and rainy days.
Occasional heat waves may occur.
The temperature may rise to +30 °C, which was the case last summer in 2009.
If you want to beat the tourist rush, late spring and early autumn is a delightful time to visit. In May the countryside is beautiful with rich green fields dotted with yellow flowers, the weather is rather warm and comfortable and in September you often get spells of sunny and warm weather especially during Lithuanian bobu vasara (Indian summer). For me personally it is the ideal time to explore Lithuania.In December, January and February you can expect snow. The winter can be harsh and make the thermometer plunge well below freezing sometimes as low as –25 °C.
Of course, if you are coming to Vilnius just for a city break and planning to visit its restaurants and night-clubs, cold weather shouldn’t be much of an issue and also in winter prices for accommodation go down.
