Likewise, the Host will offer transfer from Trakai to the airport after the meeting on the second day either from the hotel or meeting venue. Besides, the Host will arrange transfers in Trakai between the hotel and the meeting venue in the course of the meeting. Otherwise, you may choose independent traveling. Below are few travelling tips. At the airport, the bus stops and taxi stations are situated in front of the terminal. Travelling from Vilnius Airport (Oro uostas) to Vilnius, your choices of transportation to downtown Vilnius are: (i) City Bus 1 (takes about 15-20 minutes) to Vilnius bus Station (Stotis). Price: 3,50 Litas and ticket can be purchased from the driver. Here is the timetable from the Airport (ORO UOSTAS) to the station (STOTIS): http://stops.lt/vilnius/#bus/1/b-a/2613/11/en The timetable from the station (STOTIS) to the Airport (ORO UOSTAS): http://stops.lt/vilnius/#bus/1/a-b/0530m/en (ii) Airport Express shuttle bus (every 40 min and the ride is 10 min) to the Vilnius Bus Station. Price: 3,00 Litas. (iii) Shuttle train to the Vilnius Train Station. The railway stop is outside the terminal. The shuttle train does not travel frequently – below is the schedule. Anyway, the Airport Express shuttle bus and shuttle train seem to be more convenient and faster than City Bus #1.

M932 21:20 21:27 4 00:07 2.50 (iv) Taking a taxi to the station costs around 25 Litas, if you call the taxi in advance. Here are a couple of numbers: "Martono taksi" +370 5 240 00 04 "Merselita" +370 5 2555 555 Taking any random taxi that waits outside the airport might be expensive, even though the drivers say it depends on the taxi meter.
