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 are five again.
Entertainment in the City on December 13th
