The warmest month at around 23C, peak season with the longest light and the busiest terraces on Pilies and Vokieciu streets.

With 10 rainy days and highs of 23°C, build your July days around indoor anchors and treat sunny windows as a bonus.
Uzupis and the Constitution Wall
TipCross the little bridge over the Vilnia to the self-declared republic of Uzupis and read its playful constitution, posted on mirrored plaques in dozens of languages along Paupio street, with clauses like the right of everyone to be happy. It is all free and open at any hour, so find the Uzupis angel statue on its column in the main square, drop into a gallery or two, and time a visit for 1 April if you want the passport stamps and street party.
Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights
TipSet in the former KGB headquarters on Gedimino prospektas, this sobering museum covers the Soviet and Nazi occupations and includes the preserved basement prison cells and the execution chamber, walked in the actual rooms where prisoners were held. Buy the standard ticket at the door, allow at least ninety minutes, and note it closes on Mondays and Tuesdays outside peak season, so check before you go.
Cepelinai and Craft Beer
TipTry cepelinai, the heavy potato dumplings stuffed with meat and dressed with sour cream and bacon, the national dish, at an old-town tavern such as Etno Dvaras or Berneliu Uzeiga for well under 10 EUR a plate. Wash it down with a Lithuanian craft beer, as the country has a strong farmhouse brewing tradition, and go early for lunch since the dumplings are filling and portions are large.
Trakai Island Castle
TipThe red-brick castle on an island in Lake Galve is the country's postcard sight, reached in about 30 minutes by frequent bus or train from Vilnius, then a short walk over the footbridges. Buy the museum ticket at the castle gate, allow half a day for the round trip, and try kibinai, the local Karaim meat pastries, from a lakeside cafe before you head back.
