Trip Overview

4 days

Step into a winter fairytale on this 4-day Christmas market tour in Vilnius, the atmospheric capital of Lithuania. 

As snow dusts the rooftops of its UNESCO-listed Old Town, the city glows with festive lights and seasonal warmth. Stroll through cobbled lanes lined with baroque architecture and soak in the sounds of choirs and carollers echoing through centuries-old courtyards.

The highlight is Cathedral Square, where the main Christmas market unfolds beneath the towering tree — a work of art in itself. Browse wooden stalls offering hand-crafted ornaments, woollen knits, and spiced gingerbread, while sipping mulled wine or hot cranberry tea. Lithuanian holiday traditions come to life in every bite of kūčiukai and every sip of local honey liqueur.

Guided walking tours reveal the rich history behind the city’s façades, with time to explore independently or join optional excursions beyond the centre. Whether you choose to visit nearby Trakai Castle or simply linger in a candlelit café, Vilnius in December invites you to slow down and savour the season.

With welcoming accommodation and a pace that blends culture, cuisine, and celebration, this festive escape is the perfect way to experience the charm of a Baltic winter.
