0. Summary (3 lines)

• The Vilnius Pass comes in 4 types: 24 hours 39 EUR, 24 hours + public transport 46.50 EUR, 48 hours 53 EUR, 72 hours 64 EUR. All of them give the same free entries and discounts; only the valid time differs (public transport is included only in the 24 hours + public transport type)
• The clock starts when the QR code is first scanned at an attraction. You must start using it within 12 months of purchase, and before you start using it you can get a refund within 30 days of ordering. Each attraction can be used only once
• If you visit 5 places around Cathedral Square in one day, such as the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania (adult 16 EUR) and the Gediminas’ Tower (8 EUR), the regular adult prices add up to 42 EUR, which is more than the 39 EUR of the 24-hour pass

1. Prices and the 4 types

This is a sightseeing pass sold by Go Vilnius (the tourism and development agency of the City of Vilnius). The English page says it gives “free entry to 30+ museums and attractions” (the page title says “60+ Museums & Attractions”).

Type	Price	Public transport
24 hours	39.00 EUR	Not included
24 hours + public transport (24 hours + Public transport ticket)	46.50 EUR	Buses and trolleybuses
48 hours (“Most popular” on the page)	53.00 EUR	Not included
72 hours	64.00 EUR	Not included

The prices were the same on the English and Lithuanian pages. The terms and conditions say “prices include taxes”. Prices for children and students are not given on any of the pages (not confirmed). Under the terms and conditions, people who buy online or in the app must be 18 or older.

There is also a separate card called the Vilnius Night Pass, which bundles discounts at nightlife venues and events. According to the FAQ, it starts at 18:00 on the day you choose and can be used for 3 nights. The price of the Night Pass did not appear on the pages opened this time (not confirmed).

2. Buying it and starting to use it

There are 3 places to buy it.

• The govilnius.lt website
• The “Vilnius Pass” smartphone app (App Store, Google Play)
• The Vilnius tourist information centre (Pilies 7 on the map on the English page)

It works in this order.

1. After you buy it, a PDF voucher (with a QR code) arrives in the confirmation email. A pass bought on the website can be added to the app with the same account
2. At the entrance of an attraction, show one of these: the QR code in the app, the QR code in the PDF, or a paper card (you can get one by showing the PDF at the tourist information centre)
3. Use starts when the QR code is first scanned at an attraction, and the pass is then valid for 24, 48 or 72 hours depending on the type
4. For the 24 hours + public transport type, the transport part starts separately, when the QR code is scanned on board

Details of the rules (what the terms and conditions and the FAQ say):

• You must start using it within 12 months of purchase
• If you have not started using it, you can ask for a refund within 30 days of ordering (via a form, for passes bought online or in the app). For a pass bought at a tourist information centre, show the receipt at the same centre where you bought it
• No refund after you start using it. No refund for lost, damaged or stolen cards either
• If you want to change the type, get a refund first and then buy again
• Show an identity document if an attraction asks for one (terms 5.9)

3. Free entry and discounts (adult prices)

The Go Vilnius page of each attraction shows the regular adult price and what the Vilnius Pass gives. The 14 places opened on 2026-11-10 are as follows.

Attraction	Regular adult price	Vilnius Pass
The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania	16 EUR	Free
The Gediminas’ Tower	8 EUR	Free
St. Johns’ Church Bell Tower	7 EUR	Free
The Castellan’s House	7 EUR	Free
Vilnius Cathedral Bell Tower	6 EUR	Free
Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights (the former KGB building)	6 EUR	Free
The House of Signatories	6 EUR	Free
The Bastion (of the Vilnius Defence Wall)	6 EUR	Free
Vilnius Picture Gallery	6 EUR	Free
National Gallery of Art	6–8 EUR	Free
The Old Arsenal	5 EUR	Free
MO Museum	11 EUR	6 EUR off
Television Tower (price to go up)	18 EUR	Go up for 10 EUR
Contemporary Art Centre (CAC)	12 EUR	Enter for 3 EUR

Places not in this table (such as the Church Heritage Museum, the Energy and Technology Museum and the Auto Museum) are also on the list. Balloon flights, the city sightseeing bus, tours to Trakai, restaurants and so on are discounts, and what you get differs from page to page.

• Each attraction can be used only once (terms 5.5)
• Special exhibitions may cost extra (terms 5.5)
• Attractions may be closed on public holidays, Mondays and Tuesdays. Check the opening hours yourself (terms 4.3)
• An attraction that leaves the list may stop accepting the pass without notice (terms 3.9)

4. Itineraries that pay off (calculated for 1 adult)

These examples add up the regular adult prices from the table above and compare them with the pass price. Discounted attractions are counted by “the amount saved”. Opening days and hours are not taken into account.

Example for 24 hours (39 EUR). The Gediminas’ Tower (Arsenalo g. 5), the Old Arsenal (Arsenalo g. 3) and the Castellan’s House (Arsenalo g. 1) are on the same street, and the Cathedral Bell Tower is at Katedros a. 1 (addresses from the Go Vilnius map).

Place	Regular price
The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania	16 EUR
The Gediminas’ Tower	8 EUR
The Castellan’s House	7 EUR
Cathedral Bell Tower	6 EUR
The Old Arsenal	5 EUR
Total	42 EUR (3 EUR more than the pass)

Example for 48 hours (53 EUR), adding the following on day 2.

• Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights 6 EUR, St. Johns’ Church Bell Tower 7 EUR, Vilnius Picture Gallery 6 EUR
• 6 EUR saved at the MO Museum and 8 EUR saved at the Television Tower
• The total for 2 days is 75 EUR, 22 EUR more than the 53 EUR of the 48-hour pass

For 72 hours (64 EUR), adding the National Gallery of Art (6–8 EUR), the House of Signatories (6 EUR), the Bastion (6 EUR) and the Contemporary Art Centre (9 EUR saved) on day 3 brings the 3-day total to 102–104 EUR.

On the other hand, if you only visit 2 or 3 places a day, paying at each ticket desk may be cheaper. For example, the Gediminas’ Tower and the Cathedral Bell Tower alone come to 14 EUR. If you can get reduced prices as a pupil, student or pensioner (50% off at the Palace of the Grand Dukes, 4 EUR at the Gediminas’ Tower, 2.50 EUR at the Old Arsenal, and so on), compare the pass with those prices instead.

5. Is the public transport option worth it?

The FAQ says that with the 24 hours + public transport pass you can ride buses and trolleybuses for free while the pass is valid. Compared with the standard fares on the fares page of JUDU, the city’s public transport, it looks like this.

Ticket (JUDU, standard fare)	Price
30 minutes	1.00 EUR
60 minutes	1.25 EUR
1 day	7.50 EUR
3 days	13.50 EUR

The difference between 24 hours + public transport (46.50 EUR) and 24 hours (39.00 EUR) is 7.50 EUR, the same as the JUDU 1-day ticket. In terms of price, it is no different from buying the 24-hour pass and a 1-day ticket separately. The difference is that you do not have to buy a transport ticket separately. If you only walk around the Old Town, you may not need transport at all. On days when you go to the Television Tower or to attractions outside the centre, compare by the number of rides.

The 48-hour and 72-hour passes do not include public transport. For those days, buy JUDU tickets such as the 1-day or 3-day ticket separately.

6. Common pitfalls

• Thinking the clock starts when you buy it → it starts when the QR code is first scanned at an attraction. You can buy it the day before
• Planning to see everything on a Monday → some attractions are closed on public holidays, Mondays and Tuesdays. Check opening on the day you plan to go
• Trying to enter the same place twice → each attraction can be used only once
• Sharing one pass among several people → terms 5.1 say it is “personal and cannot be transferred to others”. The FAQ explains how to send several cards bought together to your companions by email (1 card per person)
• Thinking special exhibitions are free too → they may cost extra
• Thinking the 48- and 72-hour passes include transport too → only the 24 hours + public transport type includes public transport

7. Changes (newest first)

• As of 2026-11-10: 24 hours 39.00 EUR, 24 hours + public transport 46.50 EUR, 48 hours 53.00 EUR, 72 hours 64.00 EUR (Go Vilnius pages in English and Lithuanian)
• Since when the current prices apply is not written on the pages (not confirmed). If the date of a price change becomes known, it will be added here

Not confirmed (as of 2026-11-10; not stated on the official pages): Vilnius Pass prices for children and students / the price of the Vilnius Night Pass / since when the current prices apply / how many hours the transport part of the 24 hours + public transport pass can be used (the FAQ only says “during the pass period”) / whether JUDU fares differ by how you buy (app, card, contactless payment). Attraction prices are the values on the Go Vilnius pages, and an attraction may have changed them on its own website (terms 3.6 say “Go Vilnius is not responsible for changes to attractions’ prices or opening hours”).
