Dear participant,

If you‘re reading this, that means you‘re going to Smart-up BSR mini camp in Palanga, . Congratulations! Let’s start our journey:

Lithuania has 3 international airports:

Airport (TVOU) http://vno.lt/en/  Airport (KUN) https://www.kaunas-airport.lt/index.php?lang=en  Palanga Airport (PLX) http://www.palanga-airport.lt/en

FOR BEST CONVENIENCE WE RECOMMEND TAKING A FLIGHT TO PALANGA AIRPORT

In case your flight lands in Palanga:

 All the basic information is here: http://www.palanga-airport.lt/en/how-to-get-here  From local experience – cash only.  If you are confused – ask younger looking people

In case your flight lands in Vilnius:

 Take any city bus (No. 1, 2) headed to STOTIS (bus and train station) – it will take ~ 15 minutes.  If you‘re using UBER – go for it!  You can always use a taxi, but this should be your last option. If you‘re going to – don‘t take those who are waiting at airport territory, because they will charge you a lot. It‘s better to ask at airport information or anyone who‘s looking young help you to get a taxi.  You can take a bus from Vilnius to Palanga directly, or Vilnius-Klaipėda-Palanga route. You can buy your ticket here online (but you have to print it): https://www.autobusubilietai.lt/index.php?lang=0&cl=select&fnc=searchByStopId&travel_from=24 12-1&travel_to=1481-1 (please double check travel dates, in this link I indicated June 13th date), or you can buy tickets directly at the bus stop. Also please check this link: https://www.118.lt/transporto-tvarkarasciai/paieska/vilnius-palanga?actionId=4 – this can also help you to plan the route.  In Palanga you can take a taxi or just simply go on foot to our venue.

In case your flight lands in Kaunas:

 Take city bus No. 29, schedule to look – DARBO DIENA (work day) head to STOTIS: https://www.stops.lt/kaunas/#bus/29/a-b  You take coach, which stops at the airport (head to STOTIS or AUTOBUSŲ STOTIS), these are dates for June 13th: https://www.autobusubilietai.lt/index.php?lang=0&cl=select&fnc=searchByStopId&travel_from=57 -1&travel_to=2408-1  Uber  Taxi (last option, the same as Vilnius case)  Take a bus from Kaunas to Palanga: https://www.autobusubilietai.lt/index.php?lang=0&cl=select&fnc=searchByStopId&travel_from=24 08-1&travel_to=1481-1 (please double check dates and times carefully) also you can double check with this: https://www.118.lt/transporto- tvarkarasciai?actionId=7&ds=Kaunas&as=Palanga&dt=&at=&dfrom=2018-05-24&dto=2018-05- 24&sf=2#e1a58b03-17a7-4cab-9489-cdc9dd3c5663 VENUE:

BASIC INFO AND TIPS

 STATION – STOTIS;  BUS STOP – STOTELĖ (SMALL STATION)  AIRPORT – ORO UOSTAS  BUS STATION – AUTOBUSŲ STOTIS  TRAIN STATION – TRAUKINIŲ STOTIS  Always have some cash (30 – 40 € is enough)  Emergency - 112  If you’re are not sure about something and need some help – do not hesitate to ask strangers. They might look cold, but they always will try to help you if asked. Basic rule: if you are English speaker – try to ask someone who’s looking 15 – 30 years old or a bit more. If you can speak Russian – anyone who’s looking 40 y.o. and more.
