Field notes
The smaller, more compact alternative to Riga, with Lithuania's recent tech-scene boom (Vinted, Bolt). Užupis and Old Town are the nomad anchors. Same Baltic-cold winters as Riga; same EU paperwork.
Real cold winters with regular snow, brief warm summers (peak 19°C). Long days in June (sunset 10pm), short days in December. Best window May–September.
