3 of the Best Free Working Spaces in Vilnius

When visiting a new city, it’s all fun and dandy to roam around and explore coffee shops, but it’s an entirely different story when you’re working remotely and have a tight deadline. 

If you started fearlessly searching for “best co-working spaces near me”, remember that they tend to be relatively expensive and sometimes even require more of a long-term commitment. 

There’s another option: cafés. You get a cup of freshly-brewed coffee and a chance to chat with a cute barista, what’s not to like? Cafés that are convenient to work from; they have a speedy internet connection, serve quality coffee and get packed quickly.
