Public holidays in Lithuania

dates, names and what's closed

Reviewed & updated by יהב עטיה · About the team

What's closed on public holidays in Lithuania?

Banks, government offices and post offices close. Many supermarkets and shops close or run reduced hours, especially in smaller towns. Public transport usually shifts to a weekend timetable, and museums and attractions vary — check ahead.
