Getting around

Buses and trolleybuses run from 5am to 11pm and tickets cost 0.90Lt from newspaper kiosks or 1Lt from the driver. Minibuses shadow routes and run later than regular buses; drivers sell tickets for 1.20Lt. The tourist office sells a public transport map detailing all routes for 3Lt.

To get to/from the airport, take minibus 120 from the local bus station on Šv Gertrūdos gatvė. Buses depart every five minutes between 6am and 11pm.

Trolleybuses 1, 5 and 7 run north from the train station along Vytauto prospektas, west along Kęstučio gatvė and Nemuno gatvė, then north on Birštono gatvė. Returning, they head east along Šv Gertrūdos gatvė, Ožeškienės gatvė and Donelaičio gatvė, then south down Vytauto prospektas to the bus and train stations.

Ordering a taxi by telephone (366 666) is safer than hopping into a car on the street.
