Polish travelers to Vilnius reached 45% of pre-pandemic levels

Polish travelers are increasingly choosing Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, for their trips, making Poland one of the top 10 most visited countries. One of the main draws to the city is the abundance of alternative niche activities.

One-of-its-kind hot-air balloon ride. Since Vilnius is the only capital in Europe to officially allow hot-air balloon rides over the city, many tourists take this opportunity to take a look around the capital, its red-roofed buildings, and the lush greenery surrounding it from the skies.

A digital portal to Lublin. One of the recognized coolest districts in the world, Vilnius Station District, has a teleportation device between Vilnius Train Station and the central square in Lublin, Poland—“pOrtal.” It allows the passers-by of the two cities to watch each other in real time with the help of a screen, cameras, and the Internet.

Thought-provoking art. A tempting site for art lovers is Vilnius’s modern art venue MO Museum. It’s brimming with edgy art like a collaborative exhibition with the Netherlands’ Van Abbemuseum, which features world-famous artists like Guerrilla Girls, Andy Warhol, Bruce Nauman, and Donald Judd (exhibited from October). At the same time, explorations of the city turn into an open-air gallery with art like a giant mural of a Ukrainian woman on the Moscow House facade or the biggest 3D mural in the Baltic states.

Discovering Vilnius’ gastro scene. Travelers who come to Vilnius for food may opt to visit Paupys Market, located in one of the most verdurous parts of the Old Town. The wilderness-inspired gastronomic hub with a number of restaurants, food halls, and a gourmet alley shows that visitors do not have to get out of town to have a full-on picnic. Those who look for more fine dining experiences can visit Senator’s Passage, set up in a former restored mansion, with a medieval backyard. The dining hub has two gourmet restaurants serving re-imagined seasonal dishes by new-generation Lithuanian chefs—Nineteen18 and 14horses—an organic food market, and more.
