=== Transportation to/from Vilnius ===

Choose the best way to get to Vilnius city:

* If you are coming by '''plane''' to [http://www.vilnius-airport.lt/en/ Vilnius international airport] you can take
a train to the central railway station (it only takes 7 minutes to get there, it goes twice an hour and costs less
than EUR 1) or take a bus Nr.1 going to the bus station or bus Nr. 2 going to the center of the city. There are
lockers in the railway station if you need to leave your luggage before heading to the city, it is very close to
the bus station (just across the street) and they both are close to the Old town even if you are going on foot (but
note that almost every trolleybus goes to the city center). You can always take a taxi, but it if you catch the ones
standing in front of the airport, they will charge you much more than you would if you call one. The journey should
cost you about EUR 7.

If you are landing in [http://www.kaunasair.lt/index.php?lang=en&page=express Kaunas airport], there is a bus going
to Vilnius (the bus schedule is in accordance with operating flights).
