Vilnius
Baltics · Lithuania · Europe
Baroque old town meets a bohemian breakaway 'republic' and a booming fintech crowd.
Vilnius is a charming, underrated Baltic capital with a beautiful baroque old town and a surprisingly strong startup and fintech scene. It's affordable, safe, green, and increasingly attractive to nomads and remote founders. The catches are cold, dark winters and a small market that can feel quiet. It rewards people who want low costs, a growing tech ecosystem, and easy European living.
