Vilnius | 400 | 602,430 |
Vilnius District Municipality | 2129 | 106,197 |
While Vilnius urban area occupies only most of Vilnius City and Vilnius District municipalities and a small part of Trakai District, Vilnius metropolitan region is a larger entity, occupying, depending on definition, most or all of Vilnius county, [7] at some cases, stretching also well into Alytus and Utena counties. [8]
Dual city of Vilnius and Kaunas (known in Lithuanian as: Vilniaus ir Kauno dvimiestis or dipolis) is an idea to combine resources of Vilnius and Kaunas to be able to compete with larger European cities like Warsaw, Budapest, Bucharest or Prague for Western investments. The plan, which includes various forms of collaboration and vocalizes the idea, among all the other projects,– of fast commuting between the two (most notably – the construction of high speed rail) is not fully realized but idea is slowly being implemented (see: Rail Baltica) and is brought up by politicians every year. Combined metropolitan area of both cities would have population of more than 1.5 million and would produce more than a half of Lithuania's total GDP. [9] [10] [11] [12]
In 2020 Vilnius gross metropolitan product was €21.2 billion. This puts Vilnius in 94th place among cities in European Union.
