Passport & Visa

Passport & Visa

Citizens of European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Lithuania, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle-East, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

Vilnius is a pleasant destination all year round, although it can get rather cold in the winter. The best times to plan your trip are the summer months (June–August), along with the shoulder season (May & September).

Vilnius Čiurlionis International Airport (VNO)

Vilnius Čiurlionis International Airport (VNO)

Vilnius Čiurlionis International Airport (VNO) is located on a plateau to the south of Vilnius. It is located only 5 kilometres away and the journey takes approximately 15 minutes. You can get to and from the airport easily by train, bus, minibus, or taxi. A special scheduled train runs from the airport to Vilnius Railway Station. A covered pedestrian walkway (located just outside the airport terminal) connects the airport terminal with the railway stop. It runs roughly once an hour and the journey takes about 7 minutes. City buses also provide a service to and from the airport.

Public Transport

Public Transport

Vilnius trolleybuses and buses start running at about 5 am and finish at midnight. Single-ride tickets may be purchased directly from the driver. If you're staying in the city longer, it might make more sense to buy a reusable transport card, which can be used both for single and monthly public transport tickets.

Taxi

Taxi

If you have mobile internet, the easiest and cheapest way to get a ride is to use the local competitor of Uber: the eTaksi app. Payments can be made by card via the app or to the driver directly. By the way, Uber is also available in Vilnius as well as Bolt, another popular ride-sharing app.

Post

Post
