Things to do in Vilnius

Horse riding

Horse riding in the beautiful Vilnius suburbs is a pleasing activity available year-round for novice and advanced riders – if you're a pro, you may even be tempted to join the race on the icy surface of Lake Sartai in the depth of winter.

Hot-air balloon flight

Thanks to its low air traffic volume, Vilnius is said to be the only European capital that you can enjoy a hot-air balloon flight, so hop into the basket and drink in the spectacular views over Vilnius and its charming countryside. Companies offering hot-air balloon flights are listed on http://www.vilnius-tourism.lt/en/what-to-do/hot-air-balloon/.

Kayak

Take a kayak on the River Neris flowing through Vilnius. BaidaresVilniuje (https://baidaresvilniuje.lt/) offers kayak rental at attractive prices.
