Arriving by bus

A dozen or so buses operate between Vilnius and Druskininkai daily, with a similar amount arriving from Kaunas. Buses start fairly early in the morning and run until mid evening. The journey time for both is just over two hours, depending on the weather. Druskininkai’s bus station is a small, crumbling affair a healthy five-minute walk north along the edge of the lake into the town centre. Facilities include toilets (0.50Lt) and a few lockers (2Lt) for people visiting the town for the day. Taxis can usually be found waiting outside. A trip to your hotel will cost anything from 4-10Lt depending on where it is. There’s no ATM at the station.
