Arrival and transportation to Vilnius center: Vilnius airport is about 6 kilometers away from Vilnius city center with the Old Town. You can reach the city using
– Public Bus. You can purchase a 60-minute ticket using contactless payment at the ticket validator (in bus). Standard price – 1,25 EUR. Bus “3G” is recommended for reaching the conference venue from the airport in 30 min. See JUDU for more information about the transportation in Vilnius city, including the route planner.
– Taxi, Uber or Bolt. Locals usually call a taxi by phone or use an app (BOLT, Uber, eTaxi) (airport’s address is Rodūnios kl. 10A, Vilnius 02189, Lietuva). A typical price for locals to reach the city centre from Vilnius airport is 5-8 EUR. It also depends on the time of the day and how many people request the taxi at the same time. However, if you are a foreigner, taxi drivers often ask for more. We recommend to agree on a price before getting in the car. Don’t pay more than EUR 11!
