please help on transportation
Posted: Thu April 6, 2006 07:12 AM UTC
hey there,

We would be arriving in Vilnius in mid-May. We will travel from vilnius->riga->tallinn. In Lithuania, we would like to visit the trakai and the Hill of Crosses. Would anyone kindly advise on the transport to both Trakai and Hill of Crosses?? I know that the Hill of Crosses is on the way between vilnius and riga, is it possible that we can visit the Hill of Crosses on our way to riga???

thanks so much

ying

From Vilnius main bus station buses run approximately every half hour to Trakai -- no need for a ticket, you pay the driver -- when I went, I think the bus left from stand number 8 or 9 -- the journey is less than an hour. From Trakai bus station, go right and follow Vytauto for about 2km to get to the lake where the castle is.

You can also travel by train from Vilnius to Trakai. The railway and bus stations are just 100meters away from each other in Vilnius. The railway station is also very close to the bus station in Trakai.

Yes, there are buses going every 30 min to Trakai and trains. Trains are going not that often. About the hill of crosses. You have to go from Vilnius to Siauliai (train or bus). Then from Siauliai you have either to take taxi to the hill of crosses or take Riga or Joniskis bus and have to ask driver to stop in the hill of crosses's intersection. It is about 10 km from Siauliai. Then the rest of 1.5 km you have to go on foot. Hill of crosses isnt on the direct way from Vilnius to Riga, but at least it isnt at the oposite either.
