Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Vilnius

12 stays · 3 aparthotels and 9 serviced apartments

Vilnius is a compact capital that suits aparthotels and serviced apartments, whether you are in town for a long weekend, a work assignment or a relocation. A kitchen and separate living space make sense in a city where many visitors stay for several days, and the Old Town, the business districts and the railway station all sit close enough together that you can pick a base by purpose rather than by distance. If the format is new to you, our guide explains what an aparthotel is.

Where to stay in Vilnius

Old Town (Senamiestis)

  • first-time visitors
  • sightseeing
  • short breaks

The UNESCO-listed Old Town is where most sights are found, including the cathedral and Gediminas Castle, whose Upper Castle Wikivoyage says dates from the 13th century. The city's tourism site calls it large enough to awe you but compact enough not to give you blisters, which makes it easy to explore on foot.

Užupis

  • couples
  • creative atmosphere
  • long stays

Užupis lies east of the Old Town across the Vilnia River. Wikivoyage says it gentrified after independence and that in 1997 its residents declared it an independent republic, celebrated on April Fool's Day. It is a short walk from the centre and suits visitors who want a more relaxed corner of the city.

New Town (Naujamiestis)

  • transport links
  • business travel
  • long stays

Naujamiestis is the New Town. Wikivoyage places the railway station at 16 Geležinkelio, just south of the Old Town gate, with the Railway Museum on its upper floor, and the direct airport train runs to it. It is a practical base for rail and bus journeys and for visitors who want everyday services close by.

Šnipiškės

  • business travel
  • modern amenities
  • short stays

Šnipiškės is Vilnius's modern business district according to both Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. It suits business travellers who want to stay in the modern part of the city.

Žvėrynas

  • quiet stays
  • families
  • long stays

Wikipedia lists Žvėrynas among the neighbourhoods around the Old Town with a variety of flats and green space, popular with middle-class residents. It lies west of the Old Town and is a good choice for longer stays when you want to step away from the busier central districts.

Getting around Vilnius

Vilnius Airport is about 5.9 km south of the city centre, according to Wikipedia. A direct train links the airport and central Vilnius over 4.3 km in 8 minutes, and the airport station appears as Oro uostas in timetables. Wikivoyage also lists buses 1, 2 and 88 from the airport, with bus 1 running to the central bus and railway stations, with buses taking around 15 minutes to reach downtown. A new departure terminal opened on 4 February 2025, according to the airport's Wikipedia entry.

Public transport in the city is run by buses and trolleybuses, and JUDU, the city's mobility enterprise, supports route planning and ticket purchase through its website and app. Wikivoyage also mentions the Vilniečio kortelė smart card and the Trafi app. The Old Town and the central districts are compact enough to cover on foot, and Wikipedia records that JUDU launched an electric riverboat service on the Neris in June 2025.

Living in Vilnius for longer

Vilnius is the largest city in the Baltic states, with 619,405 residents in the city proper according to Wikipedia, so everyday services are widespread. New Town and Šnipiškės are practical districts for shops and offices, while Užupis and Žvėrynas offer quieter streets.

With green space covering most of the city area, parks and riverside walks are within reach from most neighbourhoods. The JUDU app combines public transport and parking services in one place, which is helpful whether you travel by bus or have a car for a longer stay. The Vilnius Pass is promoted on the city's tourism site for visitors planning a city break; check what it covers before buying.

The city lies at the confluence of the Vilnia and Neris rivers in south-eastern Lithuania, and covers 402 sq km, of which Wikipedia says 68.8 per cent is green space. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, declared in 1994, and Wikipedia describes it as considered one of Europe's largest and best-preserved old towns.
