Transport

By plane
Lithuania has three international airports. Vilnius International Airport is the largest one; Kaunas International Airport is a Ryanair hub with few other services; Palanga International Airport offers several routes, however, flying from there is generally more expensive due to lower competition. All the Lithuanian airports are connected to the city centers by public transport.

By car
Lithuanian roads are among the best in the Eastern Europe. Lithuania has a network of four-lane highways connecting Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Panevėžys and Palanga. Smaller towns are accessible by well-kept asphalt roads. Some villages can be reached only by gravel roads. All the roads are free to use. Car rental is readily available in the airports.

By bus
The larger Lithuanian cities have an extensive public transport system. Buses and trolleybuses are available in Vilnius and Kaunas. In the smaller cities (Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys), only buses are available. There is no subway or local railroad anywhere which means that the Lithuanian urban public transportation is relatively slow. In most cities, the routes and schedules of local buses are available online. 

Bicycles are becoming more popular, but rental services and bike routes are limited to the main cities and the resorts.
