When to Visit Lithuania: Season-by-Season Guide
Choose your travel window by weather comfort, daylight, event priorities, and budget sensitivity. The right season depends on your trip style.
Seasonal Comparison
| Season | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (Apr-May) | City walking, lighter crowds, mixed itineraries | Variable temperatures and occasional rain |
| Summer (Jun-Aug) | Coast trips, outdoor events, long daylight | Higher demand for stays and transport on weekends |
| Autumn (Sep-Oct) | Balanced prices, cultural city weekends | Shortening days and cooler evenings |
| Winter (Nov-Mar) | Off-peak pricing, festive atmosphere in holiday period | Cold weather and shorter daylight |
How Long to Stay by Season
- Spring or autumn: 4 to 6 days works well for city + one day trip.
- Summer: 6 to 9 days is ideal if you want coast time and events.
- Winter: 3 to 5 days is practical for city-focused plans.
Common Timing Mistakes
- Booking peak-summer weekends too late.
