From SEA airport to Vilnius
Reaching Seattle-Tacoma International
Light Rail (best option): Sound Transit's Link Light Rail runs from downtown Seattle's Westlake Station to SEA in 41 minutes for $3.50 one-way (off-peak) or $5.00 (peak, weekdays 6-9am, 4-6pm). Trains run every 10-15 minutes 5am-midnight, every 20 minutes after. Much cheaper than a rideshare and no traffic stress. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft): $28-$42 from downtown Seattle (20-30 min depending on traffic), $18-$28 from Tacoma. Rental car with parking: Pick up from Enterprise/Hertz downtown, then park at SEA. Parking runs $16/day economy (further out) to $32/day valet. If you're renting a car anyway, this beats light rail plus a car rental at your destination.
Getting from VNO into Vilnius
Vilnius Airport (VNO) is only 7km from the Old Town — one of the closest airport-to-center distances in Europe. Option 1 (best): Bus #88 runs directly from the airport to the city center (Lukiškių Square stop) every 15-20 minutes from 5:30am to midnight — costs €1 with a Vilniečio card (bought at the airport ticket machine) or €1 in cash to the driver. Journey is about 20-25 minutes. Option 2: Taxi or rideshare — Bolt (the dominant app in the Baltics) consistently quotes €7-10 for the ride to Old Town, takes 10-15 minutes in normal traffic, and is genuinely the most convenient option late at night. Avoid unmarked taxis outside arrivals who will charge €20-30. Option 3: Train — a commuter rail line connects the airport to Vilnius Central Station in about 7 minutes for €0.70, running roughly hourly; useful if your accommodation is near the station.
Planning Seattle to Vilnius
Vilnius is the sleeper hit of Eastern Europe — a UNESCO-protected baroque city that most Americans walk right past on their way to Prague or Krakow, which means you get all the cobblestones and Gothic church spires without the tour group gridlock. The Old Town is legitimately one of the largest surviving medieval old towns in Europe, and it costs about 40% less than comparable cities in the region. Budget travelers who've already burned through Prague and Budapest are increasingly routing through here, and for good reason.
Local basics
Best-month weather in Vilnius
May
44–63°F · 11 rain daysOne of the best months — long daylight hours, lush greenery, moderate crowds. Occasional rain showers but nothing that ruins a day.
June
52–71°F · 12 rain daysWarm and pleasant with days approaching 17 hours of light near the solstice. Outdoor festivals kick off and the city fills with energy, but it's still manageable crowd-wise.
The destination guide flags November and January and February as the least favorable months.
Two areas to consider
Old Town (Senamiestis)
mid-rangeThe UNESCO heart of the city — Baroque churches, cobblestone lanes, and most of the major sights within walking distance. Staying here puts you at Pilies Street's amber shops and the Gate of Dawn within minutes. Hotel rates run €70-150/night for solid 3-star options; Artagonist Hotel and Stikliai Hotel are the reliably good picks.
Užupis
mid-rangeThe self-declared bohemian republic across the Vilnia River from Old Town — full of galleries, independent cafés, and a noticeably younger, artsy crowd. Fewer tourist-trap restaurants here; try Užupio Piceria for wood-fired pizza or Mykolo 4 for modern Lithuanian food. Airbnbs run cheaper than Old Town by 20-30%.
Local planning tip
The Lux Express and Ecolines buses between Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn cost €15-25 and run overnight — book the upper-deck front seats for the panoramic view through the Baltic countryside. More relevantly for flights: Vilnius fares are often significantly cheaper if you position into Riga (RIX) and take the bus or train to Vilnius for €15. RIX sometimes gets nonstop Scandinavian connections that price dramatically lower; check both airports when fare-hunting. Also, the Hill of Three Crosses viewpoint (free, 10-minute walk from Old Town) gives a better panoramic view of the city than any paid attraction — go at golden hour.
Visa and entry notes for US travelers
US passport holders enter Lithuania visa-free under the Schengen Agreement for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No visa application, no fee. Lithuania is a full Schengen member, so your 90 days counts across the entire Schengen zone — not 90 days per country. ETIAS (Europe's electronic travel authorization) was expected to launch in 2025 and will apply to US citizens; check etias.eu before travel as it requires a pre-trip online registration (expected to cost €7 and be valid 3 years). Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area.
