Vilnius International Airport (Tarptautinis Vilniaus Oro Uostas) is just 5km south of the city centre. Even if you’re landing from a non-Schengen country, arrival formalities are quick and relatively pain free. After collecting your luggage find a compact arrivals hall complete with a kiosk for snacks, maps, cigarettes and prepaid mobile phone cards, ATMs and currency exchange offices. Toilets are to the right, and car rental companies to the left.
Getting to town
A taxi to Old Town using one of the vehicles parked outside the arrivals terminal will cost about 50Lt. Calling one in advance will cost considerably less. If you’re travelling to the centre and don’t mind a bit of walking, save a fortune and take public transport. The bus stop is to the left of the taxi stand. Bus Nº1 goes to the train station and bus Nº2 to Lukiškių Aikštė and north over the river past the Reval Hotel Lietuva. A timetable is posted at the stop. Buy a ticket from the driver for 2.50Lt. Alternatively, hop on a train and in under 10 minutes be at the train station in the centre of the city. Buy a ticket on board for just 2Lt. The aiport train station can be found along the road outside the main exit and on the left. Trains leave every hour or so from around 07:00 until 20:00.
