Vilnius Christmas before Christmas

About

Have you experienced Vilnius Christmas before Christmas? It’s one day when the whole city becomes the most Christmas-filled and festive place before Christmas.

On December 13, something shifts — the city loosens its tie, unbuttons its coat, forgets the rules. Then it starts to giggle. Streets sparkle, lights blink, snow smells like cookies. And just like that, you’re not big anymore.

This Christmas in Vilnius you’re five again.

 

In the programme:

  • Christmas Currency: What is a Christmas Capital without its own Christmas currency? For one special day, Vilnius changes its traditional currency, inviting everyone to feel like a child again – you can pay for delicious treats and unforgettable experiences using a special Christmas currency!
  • Christmas at K. Sirvydas Square: When you visit the festively decorated K. Sirvydas Square, you will imagine that you’ve stepped into a real Christmas fairy tale from your childhood.
  • Christmas Mail: Vilnius offers a unique opportunity to send holiday greetings to friends and loved ones abroad from the European Christmas Capital 2025. Choose a postcard, write a wish, drop it into a special Christmas mailbox, and Vilnius will make sure your greetings reach their addressee.
  • Christmas Entertainment in Vilnius: Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere as you enjoy Vilnius’ most delightful Christmas attractions for free — the Christmas Train, the Christmas Carousel and Vilnius Ice and more.
  • Christmas Public Transport: During Vilnius’ most festive day, look out for a special Christmas route! Hop on the gingerbread-shaped bus that will take you through the most beautiful Christmas locations in Vilnius, while on another special route you can listen to the Christmas choir.
  • Christmas Tours: Dive into the Christmas capital with “Neakivaizdinis Vilnius,” inviting you to explore the city in an alternative way! 13 festive tours await you, featuring Vilnius legends and secrets, noble Christmas traditions, and different holiday customs. Registration for the tours opens on December 10th.
  • Christmas Choir: Vilnius’ most festive day will culminate with a magical Christmas choir performance on the Vilnius Ice at Town Hall Square. Everyone is invited to join and participate in this magical event.
