Getting to Druskininkai

IMPORTANT NOTE: The conference will be held in Druskininkai, not in Vilnius. Do not be confused by the name of the conference hotel (SPA VILNIUS), which operates in several Lithuanian towns.

Getting to Druskininkai

Druskininkai is a well-connected resort town situated near the southern border of Lithuania, approximately 120–130 km from the two largest Lithuanian urban centres, Vilnius and Kaunas. The two cities are easy to reach internationally by air, train, or bus. See section below for within-city transfer info.

Druskininkai town is accessible by car or bus:

• During the day, direct domestic buses to Druskininkai depart hourly from Vilnius and Kaunas (2–3 hours, ~16 EUR).

• FlixBus operates daily direct buses to Druskininkai from Warsaw and Riga (6–7 hours, ~27 EUR, departures from ~7 a.m.).

Please also note that during reconstruction until the end of 2026, the Druskininkai bus station is temporarily moved from the southern to the northern part of the town. However, once you arrive in Druskininkai, everything will be within 20 minutes' walking distance. Getting around Druskininkai with public transport or other means is extensively covered on the town’s tourism website.
