Vilnius is a town of progress when it comes to infrastructure. It’s easy to reach from wherever you come, no matter how you are getting here.
By air You may be one of the 5 million passengers arriving on one of the 80 regular flights per day. Vilnius International Airport (VNO) is very close to the city, only 6 km (approximately 3.7 mi) or about 15-20 minutes driving distance from the center. When you have arrived, there are several possibilities to reach the city. Outside the airport, several buses are at your service. Bus No. 1 takes you to the train station, while Bus No. 88 goes to the city center. You can buy your ticket at a newsstand; on board, it will cost a little more.
There is also a train connection between the airport and the main Railway Station.
Other possibilities are minibus services and taxis outside the Arrival Terminal hall. Here you will find licensed taxis in line waiting for you. Don’t wait to be picked up by a taxi driver in the hall; go outside and pick one in the line yourself. As in all other major cities, licensed taxis are the most reliable and safe. In the city, it’s advisable to buy a phone card and order a taxi; this will reduce your costs. Alongside buses and taxis are the smaller minibuses. These can be stopped anywhere and go on pre-designed routes. Tickets for these minibuses can only be purchased from the minibus driver.
By train – JSC (Lithuanian Railway) Entering Vilnius by train, you will head to Vilnius Railway Station, which is located at Geležinkelio Stotis, Geležinkelio 16. Since the bus station is next to the railway station, it’s easy to continue your journey from there.
