Vilnius Railway Station (Vilniaus geležinkelio stotis) is the main transport hub of Lithuania and one of the oldest railway stations in the country. Located at Geležinkelio g. 16, it stands on the border between the Naujamiestis and Naujininkai districts, near the Old Town.
The station's history dates back to 1861, when it was opened as part of the Saint Petersburg-Warsaw Railway. During World War II, the building was destroyed but was rebuilt in 1950 in the style of socialist realism. Subsequent renovations in 1998 and 2023 modernized the station while preserving its historical appearance.
Today, Vilnius Railway Station serves both domestic and international routes. Passengers can travel to Kaunas, Trakai, Klaipėda, Ignalina, Warsaw, Kraków, and Riga. With six platforms and eleven tracks, the station offers convenient access to various destinations. Inside, passengers will find waiting halls, ticket offices, cafés, a pharmacy, luggage storage, and shops.
A special highlight is the Lithuanian Railway Museum, located on the station premises. It offers a fascinating journey through the history of the country's railway system, displaying vintage locomotives and train models.
Vilnius Railway Station is not just a transport hub but also a historical landmark of the city. Its architectural style and modern facilities make it a convenient starting point for exploring Lithuania and beyond.
