Vilnius Taxi Service
Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is a city rich in culture, history, art, architecture, and gastronomy. It offers visitors an exciting and varied experience with must-see attractions like the UNESCO-listed Old Town, the Gediminas Castle Tower, the Zoo Park, and the eerie KGB museum. The city is also home to many museums, art galleries, food markets and craft breweries that are well worth a visit!
With so much to do and see, you need to be able to get around the city quickly and easily, so we recommend using a private transfer or taxi. Vilnius has loads of taxis so you won’t have trouble finding one, but keep in mind that not all of them are reliable regarding the use of the official taxi metre. You can book a taxi or private car in advance for a guaranteed set-rate transfer, or you can look for official taxi ranks throughout the city.
