- Arriving to the hotel
- By bus: bus #88 has a stop just a couple hundred meters away from your hotel. Get on bus #88 after exiting the airport. You can usually buy a ticket from the driver. A single ticket costs 1€, and you have to validate it before use. Be advised that if your luggage is bigger than 60×40×20cm (or the sum of its dimensions is bigger than 120cm), you have to buy and validate a second ticket for your luggage.
Approximately 30 minutes after leaving the airport bus stop, it should arrive at a stop called "Dailės akademija" (Academy of Arts). Exit the bus there, and go about 50 meters forwards, there will be a crossing near the beautiful red St. Anne's church. Cross the street there, and don't go along it anymore, instead, go deeper into the small street which starts at the crossing. When the street forks for the first time, take left to Šv. Mykolo. Keep going forwards until you exit to another street (Pilies). Take a left, and you should see Narutis just a few meters away on the left-hand side. Anyway, here's a map for you. - By taxi: cabs are waiting just outside the Airport exit. A taxi trip to the hotel should cost about 10€. Read this first if you decide to use the taxi.
- For those arriving to the train or bus station: you can find the best bus route on stops.lt, then follow the instruction for those arriving by bus above.
- Contact
- If in trouble or in doubt, you may call Rimas: +370 NUL RIMAS (+370 685 74627).
- Getting from the hotel to the venue and back
- In fact, this is quite straightforward, and it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to walk from A to B by foot. Here are the instructions: upon exiting the hotel, go straight ahead until you reach the first crossroads with the traffic lights. Cross the street and turn left. Go straight until you see another small crossroads. Cross the street, take a 60° turn to the right and cross the square diagonally. Turn slightly to the right again and go up the hill. When you see another traffic light, cross both the streets, turn left and proceed until the next crossroads, where you should turn right. From there, just walk forwards for about 50 meters, where you should see a glass door on the right. Enter the door and proceed to the second floor. The event is happening in room 300. Here's the map.
- Getting back to the airport
- #88 is partly a circular route, and it doesn't go by your bus stop in the opposite direction en route to the airport. Please use the stops.lt trip planner to get to the airport. Note that this website might offer multiple route choices, some of which might consist of just riding #88 for 35 minutes, in which case that route is correct. Alternatively, just ask for a taxi at hotel reception (and don't forget to mention if you want to use your credit card to pay).
