Stretching along the southern outskirts of Vilnius and even beyond its administrative boundaries lies a railway where you will never see passenger trains – this is the capital's southern bypass, used exclusively for freight. This excursion is a unique opportunity for passengers to experience tracks that wind through remote, yet no less interesting, areas.
During the excursion, we will travel from Vilnius station through Paneriai, Juodšiliai, Nemėžis, Kyviškės, and Naujoji Vilnia, while accompanying guides share fascinating stories about the places we pass. Participants will hear important historical facts, colorful legends, and learn about the significance of the railway to the surrounding settlements, all illustrated by unusual views through the train window. The route is circular, so after circling the southern part of the city, we will return to Vilnius station.
The excursion is paid – a ticket must be purchased. The number of places is limited.
Duration – about 1.5–2 hours.
There are no scheduled stops or disembarkations on this route.
Address: Vilnius Railway Station (Geležinkelio g. 16, Vilnius). The platform and track will be indicated on the display board.
