TRAVELLING:

     There are three airports in Lithuania - VILNIUS, KAUNAS AND PALANGA - from any of these you could easily reach the place of tournament in
VILNIUS.
     If you are going to use RYANAIR airlines, choose the destination
KAUNAS. Kaunas is only 100km away from Vilnius and it is both easy and cheap to reach the capital city by train or bus.
     We also highly recommend to have a look at airbaltic or flylal
airlines websites for cheaper flight tickets as they often make sales.

     It is also possible to fly to RIGA airport. However, you should take
into consideration 4-5 extra hours which take to get to Vilnius by
bus.

     Check these links for cheaper flights:

www.airbaltic.com
www.flylal.com

     If you need any help to get flight/bus/train tickets or learn about
bus/train schedule, please do not hesitate to contact Justina,

     We will help you to find the best option for you to come here!
