moving to Vilnius??

Hi everyone,
We are thinking of moving to Lithuania and Vilnius in particular. I don't really know where to start!!

Can anyone tell me what house prices are like in the city? or is it more realistic to expect to be living in an appartment?

Stupid question maybe but what are the prices of normal everyday things such as bread, milk, vegetables, meat???

Thanks in advance for any help, I am twarling the internet at the moment but there doesn't seems to be a lot about the place.

Re: moving to Vilnius??

Hi Downey,

I've been living in Lithuania for 2 years.
Price for food and vegetables are twice less than in France but renting a flat could look expensive if you take not care enough...

I recommand you to give more details about :
When you arrive in Lithuania (renting prices are not the same from winter to Summer)
What kind of flat sq m are you looking for ?
Willing to live in town center or not ?

Best Regards,
Anthony Poullain

I also was in Lithuania and would like to confirm that Lithuanian prices are really lower, than even in Latvia and Estonia (neighbors of this country).

Re: moving to Vilnius??

I lived in Vilnius for a while...  in 1994 smile  Its changed since then, but is still a very beautiful city.  Back then no-one spoke English, now its fairly common.  Its a good time to move because prices have come down considerably, but I would recommend renting something and checking out the city before you would buy.  First, however, would be to have a 500ml glass of Šviturys Ekstra Alus, to improve your mood and to give you an anchor that will keep you from considering leaving.  For some great Lithuanian food, hunt out Gabi restaurant just off Pilies Gatve. There are some great dishes, but good old potato pancakes is hard to beat.
