Map of Christmas trees and Decorations in Vilnius Districts

This year, Grigiškės invites you to a jazzed-up Christmas! The main district tree and the buildings surrounding Church Square will be illuminated with jazz-inspired installations. Grigiškės is reaching for a Christmas record – it plans to create the largest ‘Jingle Bells’ score arranged across the trees. Meanwhile, Grigiškės Library (Kovo 11-osios g. 28) will become home to 1,000 snowmen!

The beautifully renewed Naujoji Vilnia tree is always especially ornate and festive. Its branches carry traditional decorations and shimmering lights, while the district’s shops and institutions join in with their own Christmas touches. Throughout December, the Naujoji Vilnia Cultural Centre will host festive family workshops and concerts, and visitors are welcome to the indoor photo zone, featuring a Christmas post station. (The Cultural Centre is open daily from 09:00 to 21:00.)

Paupys attracts locals and visitors alike with its open-air gallery and its original Christmas decorations. The four-metre-tall festive deer that dominated here last year have given way to elegant snowballs and an ice-cream-shaped installation melting into the fountain near Paupys Market. The central square is adorned with a decorative skating rink surrounded by snowball-like baubles.

If Vilnius ends up with a snowless winter, Paupys will be the place to capture bright, wintry, and undeniably Instagrammable photos.

Choo choo – Christmas is coming with the rhythm of the rails! LTG Link once again invites everyone to the festively decorated Vilnius Railway Station. Christmas music will fill the air, and music-themed decorations will adorn the station hall, with instruments hanging from the tree, and treble clefs perched in the waiting area. At the Railway Depot Park and the Railway Museum, Santa Claus and creative workshops await (the programme details are available in Lithuanian HERE). And for those craving the feeling of travel, magical Christmas trains are ready to depart.

You can choose from five routes – from Kaunas, Trakai, Klaipėda, Turmantas, and Warsaw – but for most passengers, the highlight is not the destination but the journey itself. Inside the special carriages, you will find red carpets, wood panelling, golden details, miniature musical instruments, champagne-tinted lighting, swaying Christmas trees, vintage suitcases, velvet-covered seats, and other festive touches. Who knows – perhaps this year the Christmas spirit will arrive by train.

This year’s tree at Halė Market reflects Vilnius’ double title: European Green Capital and European Christmas Capital 2025. Created by artist Lukas Svirplys, the tree symbolises community, festive warmth, and sustainability.

It feels as if the Halė community itself had ‘made it happen’ this year by building a silhouette crafted from boxes and fir branches, food-themed details, and ribbons sewn from old aprons and tablecloths. Most of the decorations are reused or sourced from thrift spots, donations, and community exchanges. The result is not just a beautiful festive accent in the city centre but a Christmas tree that embodies the spirit of generous sharing in the community, creative collaboration, and thoughtful, responsible consumption.
