Sunrise & Sunset Times in Vilnius — January 2026

Sunrise & Sunset in Vilnius During January

January in Vilnius brings some of the shortest days of the year as winter holds firm in the Northern Hemisphere. Daylight hours hover near their annual minimum, with the sun rising late and setting early. Although the December solstice has passed, the lingering short days mean sunrise times may still be getting later even as sunset gradually pushes back. By month's end, most locations notice a few extra minutes of evening light — a subtle but welcome sign that the year's darkest stretch is behind them.

Golden Hour & Twilight in January

During January, golden hour in Vilnius lasts approximately 62 minutes each morning and evening. The low sun angle during these periods produces warm, directional light prized by photographers and filmmakers.

Through January, days in Vilnius are lengthening by roughly 2.7 minutes per day, adding up to about 1h 22m over the course of the month.
