Safe & Peaceful

Cost-Competitive
Despite gaining increasing popularity among business and leisure travellers, Vilnius remains one of Europe’s most affordable capitals. This means that meeting planners and their delegates can expect the superior solutions they are accustomed to at a fraction of the price. As such, the city is well positioned to offer a lot of added values to those interested in bringing their events to Vilnius.
UNESCO-listed Old Town
Vilnius Old Town, with its unique cultural heritage, is among the largest in Eastern and Central Europe, and is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Walking around Vilnius is like walking through an open history book; with every new building comes a new story and style, and every time you turn a corner, you’re on a new page.
Modern & Hip
Whereas Vilnius rivals its European counterparts in terms of what it offers international meeting and event planners, when it comes to contemporary cultures, the city prefers to dance to the beat of its own drum. This is evident in its thriving culinary scene, diverse events calendar, and dynamic artistic community, which is always looking for new ways to inspire, innovate and collaborate with like-minded people.
