A 30-minute ticket into Vilnius costs EUR 0.65 - but the apps everyone recommends need a Lithuanian phone number, so tap a bank card instead.
Vilnius Airport (VNO)
- The airport is about 6 km from the centre and the transfer is short and cheap.
- Bus 88 runs from the terminal into the centre in about 20 minutes, every 20 to 30 minutes.
- Bus 3G is the express and the fastest option, running every 10 minutes and also taking about 20 minutes.
- Buses 1 and 2 connect to the railway station and the bus station.
- Bus 88N covers the night, running 22:30 to 05:30, so a late arrival has a public option.
The fares, and the app trap
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| 30 minutes | EUR 0.65 |
| 60 minutes | EUR 0.90 |
| One day | EUR 5.00 |
| JUDU card | EUR 1.50 |
- These are among the cheapest airport transfers in Europe.
- The m.Ticket and Trafi apps require a Lithuanian phone number. This is the trap: they are what every guide recommends and what residents use, and a visitor with a foreign number cannot register.
- Tap a contactless bank card on the validator instead. It works, it needs nothing installed, and it is what you should plan to do.
- The Narvesen shop in the airport also sells tickets if you would rather hold something physical.
Taxis and ride-hailing
- Bolt is ubiquitous and cheap and is what residents use.
- Use the app rather than a rank taxi. Airport ranks in the region have a reputation for opportunistic pricing, and the app removes the argument.
