Understand[edit]

Get in[edit]

By bus[edit]

The only major city in the region is Klaipėda, which has frequent bus connections with Kaunas and Vilnius, along with other cities.

By train[edit]

Klaipėda is similarly connected to Kaunas and Vilnius by rail. As off 2023 the line goes through the north of the country, making train and bus travel to/from Vilnius take roughly the same amount of time.

Get around[edit]

By bus[edit]

The town of Nida is serviced by a bus from Klaipėda, stopping at some smaller towns along the way.

Klaipėda itself has a decent city bus system, but the network is mostly limited to the city limits.

By train[edit]

As of 2023, a daily train does travel to Šilute from Klaipėda. Since most locals own cars, it does not see much use, and often only runs with a single passenger car.

By car[edit]

Wanting to see smaller towns, the best method would be by car. There are several rental services in Klaipėda.

By ferry[edit]

Klaipėda City runs a mixed vehicle/pedestrian ferry from the city to the Curonian Spit. It runs every half-hour, and is very popular.

Private companies and individuals offer passenger service to towns on both sides of the lagoon.
