Most tourists arrive by air; Vilnius airport is served by sixteen European airlines, including budget airlines Wizz Air (wwww.wizzair.com), Norwegian Air Shuttle (wwww.norwegian.com) and Ryanair (wwww.ryanair.com); the latter also flies to Kaunas. Lithuania has poor rail connections with its neighbours; international buses from neighbouring countries to Vilnius and Kaunas are far more numerous, with plenty of services from Latvia and Estonia. There are also frequent ferries from Kiel in Germany, and Karlshamn in Sweden, to Klaipėda on Lithuania’s Baltic coast (wwww.krantas.lt).

Transport planning is often the foundation of a realistic itinerary. Rough Guides works with vetted Lithuania local experts who create personalized trip plans from scratch around arrival points, travel times, regional connections, and the way you prefer to travel. You can compare up to 3 different itineraries and refine the preferred route together with the local travel agent before the trip is finalized.
