📍 Geographic Location of Vilnius
Geographic Overview
The Lithuanian country code +370, followed by the area code 522, routes calls to the Vilnius city fixed-line network. Vilnius, the capital and largest city of Lithuania, is the primary administrative, economic, and cultural hub of the country. The 522 code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Vilnius metropolitan area, covering the city proper and its immediate suburban districts. As part of the national numbering plan, this code is used exclusively for fixed-line (PSTN) services, including traditional copper lines and VoIP-based fixed telephony that is registered to a physical address within the Vilnius area.
Dialing Formats
When calling a Vilnius fixed-line number from within Lithuania, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, a local Vilnius number might be dialed as 0 522 12345. From abroad, callers should omit the leading '0' and dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most European countries, or + from mobile phones), followed by the Lithuanian country code +370, the area code 522, and the subscriber number: +370 522 12345. The total number length after the country code is 8 digits, including the area code, which is standard for Lithuanian fixed-line numbers.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
The Communications Regulatory Authority of the Republic of Lithuania (RRT) administers the national numbering plan. The 522 code is part of the Vilnius numbering area, which also includes other codes such as 521 and 523, serving different districts or exchanges within the city. There are currently no overlay codes for Vilnius; the 522 code is not subject to number pooling or area code splitting, ensuring consistent dialing patterns. Fixed-line numbers in Vilnius are not portable to mobile networks, but they can be ported between fixed-line operators within the same geographic area, subject to RRT regulations.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Vilnius, dialing the full national format (0 522 ...) is always required, as local 7-digit dialing is not used.

For example, a caller from the United States would dial 011 370 522 12345, while a caller from the United Kingdom would dial 00 370 522 12345. Mobile phone users can simply dial +370 522 12345.
