Longest and shortest day in Vilnius

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 17h 18m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 7h 13m.

Between them the day length swings by 10h 4m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:52 on 14 December; the latest is 21:59 on 24 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:41 on 18 June to 08:42 on 29 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 17m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Vilnius different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:21, 21 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:21.

Light lingers for 39 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 15 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 54.7°N buys you.

Evening golden hour runs 73 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 54.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between solstices the sunset walks 87° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.

Across August the sunset moves 67 minutes earlier, averaging about 2 minutes a day.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 25 October 2026: sunset goes from 17:59 the evening before to 16:57 that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Vilnius

Arrive by 19:24. Golden hour opens at 19:39 and the sun is down by 20:28, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 290° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 20:51 and runs to 21:07, the end of civil twilight and 39m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Vilnius — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
