WHERE TO TAKE A SWIM IN VILNIUS?
One of the best things to do in Vilnius in summer could be taking a beach morning or day. If you are in Vilnius Old Town on a hot day and find yourself wondering where to cool off or sunbathe, pick one of these public beaches. They’re all free and can be reached by public transport - plan your route using Trafi app (App Store, Google Play). There’s even a nudist beach in the city. So choose the most convenient spot for you, grab your swimwear (or not) and take a dip in a lake or river without leaving the city!

1. Green Lakes Beach
Nearest bus stop – Verkių Riešė
The Green Lakes actually consist of 6 different lakes, but the most loved one is definitely lake Balsys. Its newly renovated beach does not only offer a sandy shore or free sunbeds, but also has a huge area for active lifestyle and grilling. It does get crowded on hotter days, but it’s worth your visit – the green water lakes surrounded by forests surely look magical.
Green Lakes in Lithuanian: žalieji ezerai
2. Valakampiai I Beach
Nearest bus stop – 1-asis paplūdimys
This is the bigger beach of two beaches of Valakampiai – the part of the city located on the left bank on river Neris. It’s got all the needed infrastructure and a pretty cool view of soviet-era apartment buildings on a hill, partly covered by lush trees. It’s a great spot to enjoy a more refreshing swim as the water of the river is always a bit cooler.
3. Valakampiai II Beach
Nearest bus stop – 2-asis paplūdimys
From this June, Valakampiai II Beach has a separate nudist zone. So if you’re a part of this free culture, you can safely enjoy a swim even here, in our capital city. If you’re not, don’t worry, there is still plenty of space at this beautiful beach to take a dip.

4. Žirmūnai Beach
Nearest bus stop – Valakampių tiltas
Located in the center part of Vilnius, this recently renewed beach is perfect for a family day as well as for a quick dip in the river. It has just been fitted for people with disabilities making this beach a nice bathing place in the city for wheelchair users.
5. Salotė Beach
Nearest bus stop - Bitėnų
This is one of the most popular lake beaches in Vilnius. If you’re staying in one of the Western neighborhoods of the city, this would be the ideal choice. There’s a great volleyball court, a children’s playground and also a lovely restaurant right by the beach, where you can enjoy a drink or a meal in the open air.
6. Gėlužė (Gilužis) Beach
Nearest bus stop – Bitėnų
This beach has just been opened this summer. It has a big brand-new footbridge and a cosy grill zone with benches and tables. It will be fitted for people with disabilities. Don’t miss your chance to check out the newest beach in Vilnius!
7. Balžis I and II Beach
Nearest bus stop - Balžio.
Located a bit further away from the Vilnius Old Town, this lake is surrounded by a gorgeous pine forest and even has a cable wake park. There’s also a place called Royal’s Spot, where you can enjoy a long walk in the forest, a bicycle ride or a nice picnic by the lake.
8. Tapeliai I and II Beach
Nearest bus stop - Karačiūnai
Tapeliai lake would be the perfect choice for those who enjoy a bit of exercise before a swim, as the beaches are located 4.6 km (2,9 mi) from the bus stop. However, it’s worth the walk, as the environment is clean and the nature is beautiful.
9. Vingis Park Beach
In the central part of Vingis Pine Park on the left bank on river Neris.
