95%About Vilnius time
Vilnius keeps two clocks.
The Lithuanian capital runs on a compact schedule—locals start the workday early, with most offices humming along before 9:00 and shutting down closer to 17:00, leaving long summer evenings wide open for terrace drinks by the Neris River. In winter, though, the day shrinks fast and the city dims by mid-afternoon, nudging remote colleagues to front-load synchronous work while daylight lasts.
