Getting There By Rail
Vilnius Railway Station is located at Gelezinkelio Stotis, Gelezinkelio 16 (tel: (5) 233 0086). This centrally located railway station offers domestic services to Lithuania’s second city of Kaunas and also to other domestic destinations such as Trakai and Klaipeda, as well as international destinations such as Minsk, Kaliningrad, Moscow and Warsaw. The national railway company is Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai (tel: (01) 262 6947; website: www.litrail.lt), who in 2005 put in a large order for new rolling stock as part of a major investment programme. Beware that some international trains transit neighbouring Belarus, for which a transit visa is required.
