The majority of goods and services in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, are cheaper than in Riga and Tallinn, according to a living costs survey carried out by business newspapers Verslo Zinios, Dienas Bizness and Aripaev.
Riga has been named as the most expensive capital among the three Baltic capitals. 14 types of goods have been found to be the cheapest in Vilnius, 13 in Tallinn and only 5 in Riga.
Even though real estate prices in Lithuania have been increasing fastest, flats in the old town of Vilnius are still cheaper than in Riga or Tallinn.
