Transportation in Lithuania

# Getting Around Lithuania Lithuania's compact size makes it surprisingly easy to navigate, with buses forming the backbone of intercity travel. The country lacks passenger trains between major cities, so you'll rely on modern coaches operated by companies like Lux Express and Simple Express connecting Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipėda. Buses run frequently on main routes and are comfortable with WiFi and power outlets—book through GetByBus or directly with operators for current schedules and pricing, which typically falls into the budget-to-economy range. **From Vilnius Airport:** Skip the overpriced airport taxis unless you're in a group. The airport train runs to the central station in about 7 minutes for pocket change, making it the fastest option if you're heading to Old Town or the bus station. City buses also connect the airport, though they take longer. For destinations outside Vilnius, the central bus station (Autobusų stotis) is your hub—it's walkable from the train station or a short taxi ride. **What NOT to do:** Don't assume trains will get you between cities—they won't. Don't book last-minute intercity buses during summer weekends or holidays without checking availability first, as popular routes fill up. Within Vilnius, the Old Town is walkable, so don't waste money on short taxi rides when you can cover most tourist areas on foot in 15-20 minutes. For current prices and real-time schedules, always check the booking widgets rather than relying on outdated information.
