About Vilnius

Gay Guide to Vilnius

Lithuania has no same-sex marriage, but in April 2025 its Constitutional Court ruled that limiting partnerships to a man and a woman was unconstitutional, opening the way for same-sex couples to have their partnerships recognised through the courts.

The scene is small and sits in and around the Old Town. Soho, on Švitrigailos gatvė, has been Lithuania's longest-running LGBTQ+ club since 2007, with a bar, two dance floors and a calendar of drag and DJ nights, and Vox on Teatro gatvė is a bar with late weekend hours.

Glamour on Ševčenkos gatvė, open since 2008, is one of the city's few dedicated gay venues, a men's sauna, and LGL, the Lithuanian Gay League, works on rights and community from its office on Odminių gatvė.

Baltic Pride rotates between Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, so the march comes to Vilnius roughly every third year.
