Compared to other Canadian cities rent is affordable but it's unfortunately such a depressive place to live, due to the harsh and long winters. You get about 2-3 months of fantastic weather, and between 5-8 months of absolutely oppressive cold. It has some decent local culture for its size, but a distinct lack of fun nightlife. Public transit is absolutely horrendous. People can be a bit close-minded. Quality of life is otherwise comparable to other big NA cities. Taxes are on the low side. It's very out of the way - there's no real reason to come here as a tourist because Calgary is closer to everything interesting.

Cons of Living in Vilnius
Expensive Cold now Gets very cold in the winter Very damp now Not many Nomad List members right now Hostile towards LGBTQ+ Many people smoke tobacco -
Young and cheap city. Most people can communicate in english. Locals are warmer than in other baltic countries but don't expect to make many local friends. Many foreigners thanks to the university.

It's very fun and green city in summer and quite dark and cold during winter time. Old town is beautiful and cozy fast internet, few coworking spots.

Nothing to amazing about this city. It is cheaper and the locals can be friendly out of curiosity but most European cities are like this way. As always there is the language barrier but besides that it is just your average Baltic European city with its unique cuisine. Not too bad not too amazing.
