Cheap flights to Vilnius
Cheap flights to Vilnius land at the Lithuanian capital's only passenger airport, with arrivals from across Europe on Ryanair, Air Baltic, LOT Polish Airlines and others. People come for the baroque old town, the compact centre you can walk end to end, and the easy weekend hop from Warsaw, Berlin or Vienna. Late spring through early autumn fills the planes fastest, and the Christmas market brings a second rush.
Flights to Vilnius — where from
Airports — Vilnius
Every flight into Vilnius uses Vilnius Airport, so there is no second terminal to guess at and no confusion if you booked a connection through Warsaw or Riga. From the terminal you reach the centre by public transport, taxi or a pre-booked transfer, and the ride is short enough that most people are dropping bags at an old town hotel soon after landing. Arrivals from Krakow, Chisinau, Budapest and Bucharest tend to come in later in the evening, so check your transfer options before you fly rather than after.
When to go
Vilnius works best from late spring to early autumn, when the days run long and the old town squares fill up with tables and street music. July and August are the busiest months, and fares on the Easyjet, Vueling Airlines and Norwegian routes from Barcelona, Larnaca and Berlin climb well before departure. Winter is cold, dark and quieter, with a sharp spike around the Christmas market. Spring and autumn give you mild weather, thinner crowds and more room to choose your dates.
