<img class="alignnone wp-image-75510 size-full" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/67995/Vilnius-Guide-main.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><h2>Vilnius</h2>The capital and largest city of Lithuania. Vilnius is home to over 500,000 people and is the second largest city in the Baltic States.The city started life as a trading settlement and has a rich and varied history. The city was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Prior to World War II, Vilnius was known as the Jerusalem of Lithuania due to its large Jewish population.Today, Vilnius has a diverse economy that reaches across a variety of sectors. Tourists are drawn to the city for its historic buildings, interesting culture, upscale shopping and modest gay scene.&nbsp;<h2>Gay Rights in Lithuania</h2>Like many countries in Eastern Europe, attitudes and laws regarding LGBT citizens are behind other states in Europe. Despite an equal age of consent (16), there is no recognition of partnerships for same-sex couples and public consensus is generally opposed to equal marriage rights.As Lithuania is sparsely populated, it is rare to find gay scenes except for in the cities of Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda. Attitudes in the cities tend to be more liberal in comparison to more provincial towns, however some discretion is advised when out in public.&nbsp;<h2>Gay Scene</h2>Vilnius has a modest gay scene with a <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/vilnius-gay-bars-clubs/">dance club</a>, <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/vilnius-gay-saunas/">sauna</a>, and <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/vilnius-gay-cafes/">cafe</a> for gay customers. There is no specific gay area, and some of the venues are on opposite ends of the city centre.The Baltic Pride is the official Pride celebration for the three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and it rotates between the three capitals (Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius). The next event will be held in Riga in 2018.&nbsp;<h2>Getting to Vilnius</h2>By planeVilnius Airport (VNO) is located around 6km from the city centre. It is a hub for AirBaltic and several other budget airlines. It offers routes to most major cities in Europe as well as to some destinations in North Africa and the Middle East.There is a train service that takes you directly into the city centre that leaves 16 times a day. Single tickets cost 0.70 euros and the journey takes around 7 minutes. Tickets can be bought online, on the train or at the railway station.There are bus and micro bus services that leave from the airport into the city centre. Single journeys cost €1 and journey times are only slightly longer than if travelling by train. Buses may be the better option as they take you to a wider range of locations in the city centre.You can order a taxi in advance but the taxi rank at the airport is well regulated and reasonably priced. Journeys to the old town should cost around €10 and will take just over 5 minutes, depending on traffic or roadworks.By trainVilnius train station is located south of the downtown area and offers a range of national connections as well as connections to neighbouring Russia and Belarus.By busVilnius is at the heart of the national bus network with journeys across Lithuania being relatively short. There are longer international bus routes operated by Eurolines, ECOLINES and Polski Bus that offer cheap (but longer) connections to the other Baltic States and their European neighbours.&nbsp;<h2>Getting around Vilnius</h2>On footDespite Vilnius' old town being one of the largest in Europe, it is still easy to get around on foot. This is probably the best way to take in the sights and the architecture, especially on a pleasant summer's day.By public transportVilnius Transport is responsible for the bus and trolley bus network. Singles cost €1 and must be purchased from the driver with cash (although this cheaper if you purchase a Vilnius Citizen Card). Tickets must be validated immediately on arrival. There are night bus services on weekends.By taxiTaxis can be hailed on the street, but quite often they will be double the price than if you pre-ordered them. They are renowned for ripping off tourists. Many locals use taxi apps which can be cheaper than using the regular companies.&nbsp;<h2>Where to Stay in Vilnius</h2>For a list of recommended hotels Vilnius, please visit our <a href="https://www.travelgayhotels.com/Place/Vilnius.htm">Gay Vilnius Hotels page</a>.&nbsp;<h2>Things to See &amp; Do</h2>Gediminas' Tower - iconic tower named after a Grand Duke of Lithuania.

Winters are cold, and temperatures below -25°C are not unheard of. Late spring and summer are the best times to visit as the city is full of life.There is a wide variety of festivals and events throughout the calendar to keep visitors entertained. From the middle of March to the beginning of April, the international film festival takes place. The Vilnius Jazz Festival is known for its innovation and creativity.<h2></h2><h2>Visa</h2>Lithuania is within the Schengen visa area. As it is part of the European Union, its visa requirements fall inline with what you would expect from most EU states.&nbsp;<h2>Money</h2>Lithuania is part of the eurozone. There is a good selection of banks and currency exchangers to choose from. Most larger stores, restaurants and hotels accept card payments, but it is always a good idea to keep some cash on you just in case.

First visit to Vilnius? Then our gay Vilnius city guide page is for you.

The ability for same-sex couples to legally adopt a child.

The difference between legal age of consent for homosexual sex and heterosexual sex.

The ability for MSMs (men who have sex with men) to donate blood or tissue for organ transplants. A deferral period refers to a waiting time before a man can donate after having sex.

laws limiting the freedom of expression of the community has been enforced in a national level. The Law on Protecting Minors against Detrimental Effect of Public Information has been applied on different occasions since 2010 with the view of limiting positive LGBT-related information.

Censorship or prohibition of discussing, promoting, or teaching LGBTQ+ topics in media, schools, and in the general public.

LGBTQ+ content is restricted for minors in Lithuania since 2009. The law has been used to censor LGBT books, TV shows, ads and series under the guise of "protecting minors".

Article 2.27 of the Civil Code allows any non-married person to change legal gender if this is medically possible. The second paragraph states, however, that the procedures for changing gender should be led according to a separate law. The Parliament and the Government of Lithuania refuse to take any actions on adopting such a law after it lost the case of L v. Lithuania in the European Court of Human Rights in 2007. Since then, gender change has become possible only with a court's decision and sex reassignment surgery. 
 
It was proposed to eliminate this provision in 2009, and once again in 2013. 
 
In April 2017, the European Court of Human Rights ruled, in A.P., Garçon and Nicot v. France, that it is discriminatory and a human rights violation to require transgender people to undergo surgery to alter their official documents. Subsequently, two Lithuanian trans men were allowed by Lithuanian courts to change their gender on their official documents without them undergoing surgery beforehand. Lithuanian LGBT groups are now calling on future legislation scrapping the requirement for surgery to be introduced. 
 
Effective from February 2, 2022, transgender individuals within Lithuania who want to change their legal name and/or sex can do so legally without sex reassignment surgery under new justice regulations. However, trans people who wish to change their name on official documents will still have to obtain a certificate from a Lithuanian or EU healthcare establishment of “diagnosed transgenderism”

Homosexuality within Lithuania was decriminalised in 1993.

Consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex.

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity when applying for housing or discrimination by landlords / property owners.

Constitutionally banned since 1992. A bill that would have allowed civil unions with limited rights for same-sex couples would have been discussed soon in the Parliament but that was taken off the schedule. 
A court in 2023 stated that a same-sex couple who married abroad cannot register their marriage.

Marriage and marriage recognition between two people of the same biological sex and/or gender identity.

Only 26 countries allow transgender military service, Lithuania is not one of them
