Travel to Vilnius center from the airport
The Vilnius airport is located just outside the city center.
There are two recommended options to reach the venue or your hotel from the airport.
The first is to use a bus. The bus stop is just outside the exit from the airport and it's called "Oro uostas" (it means airport). Two buses go to the center of the city - 3G and 88. The journey takes about 15-25 minutes. Buy a single ticket from the bus driver for €1. Validate it inside the bus. For more information you can visit Vilnius public transport web-page.
The second option is a taxi.
No need to call for a taxi in advance or ask friends for a help – Vilnius Airport approved taxi cabs are cheap, of good quality and comfortable.
Vilnius Airport approved taxi rank can be found just in front of the arrivals terminal. Always ask for a receipt at the end of the trip! All Vilnius Airport approved taxi cabs accept credit cards.
