- Arrange Shabbat and holiday meals in advance with the local Chabad house.
Stay in the kosher area of Vilnius
Vilnius does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad Lubavitch of Lithuania (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Vilnius.
To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
