## Overview

## Welcome

Vilnius International Airport (VNO) offers a travel experience akin to a train journey into the heart of a charming city rather than navigating a sprawling air hub. Positioned approximately 5.9 kilometers south of Vilnius' city center, you can seamlessly transition from plane to bus or train to the Old Town within 20 minutes for about €1.50. This cozy scale gives the airport more of a village feel, despite its expansion efforts, notably with the new departures terminal.

## At a glance

Handling over 5.4 million passengers annually, VNO is a key hub for airBaltic and Wizz Air, alongside Ryanair. Its single passenger terminal, T1, manages all flights efficiently with a tight-knit setup that minimizes walking distances. The airport's close proximity to Vilnius city center requires uncomplicated travel arrangements—both convenient and cost-effective.

## Terminals & layout

VNO's T1 terminal is all-encompassing, housing every aspect from check-in to departures, with airBaltic, Wizz Air, and Ryanair as the primary operators. Travelers can expect brief transfers within the terminal, even during peak morning hours, when queues can be longer from 5:00 to 8:00 AM. The layout supports quick processing through security and check-in, with amenities spaced accessibly throughout.

## Getting to and from the city

Public transit from VNO to Vilnius is both affordable and efficient. The 3G bus line—often referred to as the "green express"—connects the airport to the city in about 20 minutes, costing roughly €1. Railway enthusiasts appreciate the small Vilnius Airport Railway Station, which offers a swift 7-minute journey to the central station for €0.80. Taxis and rideshares like Bolt or Uber cost around €5-15 depending on traffic, providing a convenient option for those not keen on public transport.

## Traveller essentials

For drivers, parking options range from $15/day for economy to $50/day for VIP zones. Travelers preferring public transport can top up a ‘Vilniečio kortelė’ transit card at Narvesen stores within the terminal, enabling effortless tap-and-go travel around the city. Travelers often find Narvesen's array of services handy, from local transport cards to mobile top-ups.

## Dining & shopping highlights

With several dining options like Charlie Pizza and Švyturys Airport Bar, sections of the food court offer self-service kiosks to bypass lines during busy hours, particularly in the morning. But frequent visitors advise dining in the city for better variety and prices. Shopping at VNO is predominantly generic, with duty-free and convenience stores like Heinemann Duty Free and a Souvenir Shop Vilnius providing the basics.

## Lounges

The Narbutas Business Lounge in the Schengen departures area and the Airline Contract Lounge offer comfort at €20. These lounges provide a quiet respite from the terminal hustle, although the VIP and various charter lounges remain less defined in terms of access and services.
