Vilnius: Europe’s Most Unexpected Cultural Hotspot

Especially in spring and summer, Vilnius reveals its creative energy through a series of festivals and cultural events that transform the city into an open-air stage. The season begins in May with Museum Night, when galleries and museums remain open late into the evening and invite visitors to explore Lithuania’s cultural heritage through exhibitions, performances and workshops. Almost simultaneously, Street Music Day fills Vilnius with spontaneous live concerts as musicians take over courtyards, squares and hidden corners across the city.
