Buses 88, 2 and the night bus 88N

The bus suits you if you are going towards the Gates of Dawn or the MO Museum. The airport shows five city routes (airport page, checked on 2026-10-08):

• 88N. Night bus, runs from 22:30 to 05:30.

The December timetable file (stops.lt, checked on 2026-10-06) shows this pattern of departures from the airport:

To Europos Square bus 88 takes 24–37 min. The gap between services is about 40 min, and sometimes up to 80 min, so check the time before you leave. The Sunday and 25 December pattern in the file is the same as on Saturday. At weekends Judu states that the 88 runs to the Islandijos g. stop, so check the final stop on the stops.lt page.

How to choose

• A quick trip to the centre or a train onward: the train, 7 min.
• You need the Gates of Dawn or the MO Museum: bus 88, 12–20 min.
• A flight late in the evening or early in the morning: there are no trains, so take the 88N or a taxi.
• With heavy luggage and tired: a taxi, but with the rate board on the wall and a receipt.

Check the timetable in advance over the holidays. On 25 December the bus file shows the weekend pattern, and train tickets for that day are not yet on sale, so we have not confirmed their times.
