Vilnius

On foot

Although the Old Town is one of the largest in Europe, it can easily be explored on foot.

By Bus Or Trolleybus

A single ticket for either bus or trolley use same ticket works for either bus or trolley costs 2.50 LTL if you buy it from the driver or 2.00 LTL if you buy it from a the newspaper kiosk. Paper tickets need to be stamped when getting on the bus, by putting them into the tiny red machine near the driver and pulling the rear part towards you to punch the ticket. It is highly recommended to buy the ticket, because the controls are regular, especially during the first days of each month. You may also catch a private bus, which costs 2.00 or 3.00 LTL and is a bit faster. There is a 50% discount for students and elderly people, both in public and private buses. The Vilnius City Card (http://www.vilnius-touris...) includes unlimited use of public transportation. Also you can get a small private bus which costs 3 LTL.

See (http://www.vilniustranspo...) for more information and schedules.See (http://entuziastai.marsru...) for unofficial trolley route map.

Beware that trolleybuses and other buses use the same numbers, so for instance if you are advised to take bus 1, check whether trolleybus or regular bus number one is meant.

A van-taxi is faster than the bus and will cost 3 LTL at most. They tend to mimic trolley/bus route/numbering system. One needs to ask the driver to stop when close to one's destination.

By taxi

A regular cab may cost about 15-20 LTL if you need to get from periphery of the city to the center. You should always call a taxi by phone, even if you see a taxi on the street nearby. Street taxis charge as much as twice the price as taxis called by phone.Good practice is to dial the number written on the vehicle you see, tell dispatcher the address you're at, and you will most likely get the same vehicle for a fair price.
