HOW TO GET TO BRAILLE SATELLITE

Braille Satellite takes place in the countryside, surrounded by forest, so getting here is part of the adventure. From Vilnius, we recommend travelling by train — it is the easiest way to get close to the festival area.

✈️ BY AIR TO LITHUANIA

For those arriving from abroad, Vilnius Airport (VNO) is the main gateway to Braille Satellite. During the 2026 summer season, Vilnius has direct connections with cities across Europe and beyond. Airlines operating scheduled routes from Vilnius include Ryanair, Wizz Air, airBaltic, Norwegian, Lufthansa, LOT, Brussels Airlines, SAS, SWISS, Turkish Airlines, Finnair, Aegean, Austrian Airlines, flydubai, arkia and Israir. Some routes are seasonal.

Another option is Kaunas Airport (KNS), which has a different selection of direct connections and can be particularly useful if you are flying from the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Spain or Italy. The 2026 summer schedule includes routes operated mainly by Ryanair, as well as Wizz Air and airBaltic.

You can check the current routes on the Kaunas Airport website.

🚆 BY TRAIN TO THE FESTIVAL AREA

Vilnius Train Station is only about 4 km from Vilnius Airport and can be reached by the airport train shuttle, public bus or taxi. At Vilnius Train Station, take a train heading towards Ignalina–Turmantas and get off at Žeimena station. Please note that not all trains on this route stop at Žeimena, so make sure you choose the right one. Train tickets can be purchased online through LTG Link, at the ticket office at Vilnius Train Station, or on the train. You can check the latest Vilnius–Ignalina–Turmantas timetable on LTG Link’s timetable page. Train schedules can change, so we recommend checking the timetable again before travelling.
