Vilniaus Apskritis Travel Forum

Hello,

I'm after some information regarding flights to Vilnius from London please.

My friends and are hoping to fly to Vilnius on the 28 Dec 08 and return to England on on the 03 Jan 09. Already 5 return flights are nearly £200 each!

Do you have any suggestions for finding cheaper flights? I think Easy Jet hasnt released their winter schedule yet, so maybe it's worth waiting for that.

Any advise is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

Please indicate some Secondhand goods Buy & Sell online websites in Lithuania ?

I wonder if a local to Vilnius has ever heard of a small town nearby which is called Shmagan - or something close to that. It's hard to translate it into English letters!

Where can you park the tourist bus near to historic centre?

tnx.

Hi,
does anyone know how much taxi from airport to the center of vilnius costs ?

Hello All,

Me and my Mrs. will spend five days in Vilnius in June.
I find it sometimes difficult to find nice restaurants to
eat at when being in a new city. So I would appreciate if
you folks could recommend some places in and around old town.
Places with local dishes costing around 15 Euros would be nice.

Thanks,
Martti

Planning to go Vilnius from Riga, stop by Siauliai in between. A friend of mine been there two years ago said there was no locker for backpack. Is that true? I don't want to climb the Hill of Crosses with my backpack!!

Hi,

I'll be in Vilnius next month for a week-end

Could anyone recommend me some nice clubs/bars??

Thanks

Planning a genealogical research trip and trying to identify the current name of a town between Kovno and Vilnius, that an 1899 letter refers to as 'Krivssun' or Krivsonin, which was an agricultural colony on the River Vilia / Neris. Perhaps it wasn't too far from Vievis ("Eveye"). Other clues I have were that they worked for a poish nobel by the name of Romer and also another polish noble named Aginski / Oginski who had distilleries. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Hello,

Can anyone point me to a camera retailer(s) in Vilnius?
I would like to check the prices for various digital
cameras mostly Sony models.

Thank You,

Hi
Does anyone know of any web-sites that give bus timetables of buses from Vilnius to Kaunas?
Thanks

Have went through a lot of hostels, a private room for two costs at least 50euro. I believe the same price is good enough to stay in a hotel as well? Any hotel/hostel around the price could you recommend? The euro is 20% higher than the time I started planning for this trip.  I am okay with mix-dorm but my friend has never done that. Thanks.

Thinking of a visit to Vilnius next month, and the possibility of a day trip to Minsk - if that's possible!

Has anyone done that?

Do you waste a lot of times at border crossings?

Do you get a visa on entry, or does it have to be in advance?

Does anyone in Vilnius offer organised transport there/back (presumably easier than taking a rented car in/out)?

It might seem an odd request, but I've been to Vilnius countless times and although Minsk is just along the road, I've never been! Just curious.

Hello...my sister and I will be in Vilnius in early May and will be taking either a bus or train to go to Riga from there. Along the way we would really like to stop at Siauliai and see the Hill of Crosses for a couple of hours.

The www.toks.lt website is under construction so I cannot check routes. I was thinking that we would probably have to take the 6:41 train from Vilnius to Siauliai and then take the 14:42 train from Siauliai to Riga. I have checked Ecolines and the times are not convenient. Basically, I am hoping to find a Vilnius-Riga route that a) runs regularly and b) stops in Siauliai. Is this possible?

Thanks so much.

I would appreciate an approximate rail fare from Vilnius to Warsaw. I do not need train schedule. Thanks

I am travelling through Lithuania stopping at various towns of my ancestors, the last one being Vilnius. From there I want to travel to Poland but the trains are soooooo slow. I don't think I can hire a car in Lithuania and deposit it in Poland, so what method of transport that is quick would you recommend. I am semi-retired so I am not on a budget! Any help would be very welcome.

Hi again,

What parts of Vilnius should one see to make the acquaintance of the
areas which are populated by ordinary and low income people? Is there
a district that is particularly poor?
Do not get me wrong I will of course see the churches, museums and other
fancy stuff also but that is not all of Vilnius I guess.

Thanks,
Martti

Hi,

Is this Gruto parkas worth a visit or is it
just another tourist trap?
How do you get there by bus from Vilnius?
The Gruto parkas web site says something about
a half an hour's walk from Grutas bus stop - is
there no connection all the way to the park?

Cheers,
Martti

Hi all,

Can anyone give me names / web-sites of some Vilnius opticians.

Hi to all,

After many visits to Vilnius, it looks like I can get back to your lovely city again in April.

However, I usually fly direct from UK - this time I will be visiting on my way back from attending a friend's wedding in Moscow. I know it sounds crazy - but I cannot seem to find any direct flights between any Moscow airports and Vilnius - is this really true? Has anyone any information to assist?

Any data provided would be much appreciated,

All the best, and a very happy new year to you all.

David.

Dear all,

I am planning to fly to Vilnius next spring and I have two options, almost identical in price and flight schedule: Lithuanian Airlines or Air Baltic. Which airline would you choose in terms of punctuality/reliability and service (a free meal onboard would definitely be a plus)?

Thanks.

For someone living in Angola, Africa, where New Years eve is celebrated dancing the kizomba under the stars by the beach, with pulsating African rhythms and a glass of strong whisky or Cuba Libre in one hand, I am a bit lost on how I would celebrate New Years eve in Vilnius. Will it be too cold and bleak to go out and party? Please advise.
