How to get to Lithuania?

Where is Lithuania located?

Weather for business groups, leisure or meetings – Lithuania is a gorgeous hidden gem waiting to be explored. Nevertheless, this beautiful gem can be easily found in Europe – nestled in the heart of the Baltic sea region.

The lyrics of one of Lithuanian songs say it’s in the middle of Europe – and indeed, this is true.  Using the method of gravitational centres, researchers at the National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information in France established that the geographical centre of Europe is in fact found in Lithuania. Lithuania borders Latvia, Belarus and Poland and has a wonderful 90 km of the Baltic Sea coastline.

How to get to Lithuania? 

Infrastructure in Lithuania is very well developed so Lithuania is easily accessible via air, ground or sea transport. Moreover, Lithuania is not that big of a country so it is easy and convenient to travel between the major cities within the country.  Here are few ways how you can get to Lithuania! 

Flights to Lithuania 

There are three international airports in Lithuania:

• Vilnius Airport (VNO)

We recommend planning not only for round trip routes 

If you want to use your time even more wisely we recommend plan not only round trip tours but combine different arrival/departure countries. For Example:

• Tour from Finland to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania plus Poland. Your flights in that case could be arriving to Helsinki airport in Finland and departing from Warsaw airport in Poland. 
• Tour from Lithuania to Estonia and visiting Latvia in the middle.  Your flights in that case could be arriving to Vilnius airport in Lithuania and departing from Talin airport in Estonia.
• Tour from Poland to Latvia and visiting Lithuania in the middle. Your flights in that case could be arriving to Warsaw airport in Lithuania and departing from Riga airport in Latvia.
