Is Vilnius Worth Visiting In The Winter?

I think most people in Lithuania can agree with each other about their hate for winter. The days are shorter, the temperature is lower, and you’ll get a lot of those ugly rainy days before the snow comes. The snow is generally enjoyed at first but then it becomes a mushy mess that becomes a safety hazard when it melts and refreezes again and again. But today I thought I would talk about reasons you might want to visit Vilnius in the wintertime. There probably aren’t as many reasons as other times of the year but there might just be enough to convince visitors to give it a try.

    I visited back in January, and the weather was very similar to Michigan winters. I was expecting a Arctic Freeze, considering its the Baltics. I have appreciation for the short, dark days, which people considered to be gloomy. I find somehow them relaxing. I strongly agree on cheaper airfare prices. It was almost half of what I pay in the summer, and I love not having so many people crammed in the airports. Im excited to visit again this January!

    And by the way, the Lithuanian word of the day is related to Latin 'hiems' "winter", Sanskrit 'híma', known from Himalaya, and Danish 'gimmer' "one-year-old lamb" [which has survived one winter].

    Nice element of a different background track. I'm not sure how it is in recent years, but I remember you could find some cheap flights exactly on New Year's Day or Christmas. That might work for some people, if this is still the case these days.

    One of the most important ingredient in winter is sauna. Although it's not a national thing like in Finland where is more saunas than people - in Lithuania they are also very popular, there are many saunas in the nature or near lake which you can rent for parties with friends or for romantic weekend with spouse. When you exit sauna to the snow and then enter it back - it's best feeling in the world.

    It was quite a national thing before water supply became accessable. Actually in Lithuania it still is.

    Yeah, I tried it this year. We were there February 14 to March 6. It's definitely a different feel than in the summer months, but I recommend trying it. For my 4th visit, we're going back all of May next year. I like the longer days better I think. More to do.

    Worth to visit Kaunas in winter

    winter is only good if we have snow - if not, than it is dark and muddy and colorless - quite depressing. And the snow is not consistent - there are years when it snows only a little and it melts the same day over and over again, and then there are years when we have snow in october, but not in january. snow on christmas, but damp and foggy on new years. my favorite month in winter is febuary - the days are longer and the sky is a bit bluer, and its the month with the biggest chance of having snow imo. And usually it has winter halloween - užgavėnės.

    I think Kris just have bad experience with rain in Dark Winter, no thanks to Raincouver. There are also no rain... That being said, still better than what we have now (basically, what he described, but remove everything fun, including the lights - that's Vancouver)
