Clear comparison

Vilnius

Vilnius County · Lithuania

Admission and costs
The street and square market is free to enter. Food, drinks and purchases are paid for at individual stalls; the museum suggested for rainy weather has its own admission.
Getting there
From Vilnius railway station, reach Cathedral Square on foot through the old town, passing the Gate of Dawn and following Didžioji and Pilies. The station is not beside the market; this route already forms part of the sightseeing visit.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Palace of the Grand Dukes, Katedros aikštė 4, offers indoor museum routes with tickets separate from the market. It lists closure on 24–26 December 2026, so it is not a rainy-day alternative on those dates.
