Vilnius is one of Europe's most affordable capitals. Budget EUR50-70/day easily. Good meal EUR10-15, beer EUR3-4, taxi across town EUR5-7. Great value for Eurozone.
A bohemian neighborhood that declared independence as a joke in 1997. Has its own constitution (translated in 30+ languages on walls), president, flag, and anthem. Not serious, but great atmosphere and street art.
Yes, widely among young people and in tourist areas. Older generations speak Russian. Lithuanian is one of Europe's oldest languages - beautiful but complex.
Train is best - EUR1, runs every 10 min, takes 8 min to station (short walk to Old Town). Bus 88/3G also works. Bolt/Uber EUR12-18. Airport is only 6 km from center.
Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Vilnius
Take the train from airport - €1, 8 minutes, modern and comfortable. Best value airport transfer in Europe!
Visit Užupis and find the Constitution wall - it's translated into dozens of languages. The angel statue in the main square is iconic.
