It is one of three Baltic states and lies on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. Lithuania shares land borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Russia to the southwest. It has a maritime border with Sweden to the west on the Baltic Sea. Lithuania covers an area of 65,300 km2 (25,200 sq mi), with a population of 2.8 million. Its capital and largest city is Vilnius. Other major cities are Kaunas and Klaipėda. Lithuanians belong to the ethno-linguistic group of the Balts and speak Lithuanian, one of only a few living Baltic languages. There are two trains between Białystok in Poland and Kaunas on Saturday & Sunday. Friday has just one eastbound train to Kaunas, Monday has one westbound train to Białystok. The schedule means you can leave Warsaw Centralna around 13:00, change at Białystok for the onward train at 15:40 to reach Kaunas by 21:30 (with a one-hour time switch at the border, but no change of gauge or train), and there you could catch a train to Vilnius arriving 23:00. Westbound, you need to leave Vilnius not much after 06:00 to be on the 10:00 train from Kaunas to reach Białystok for 13:45 and change to reach Warsaw for 17:00. The other weekend train necessitates an overnight stay in Białystok. These trains do not enter Belarus. There are three fast trains a day between Vilnius and Minsk in Belarus, taking under 3 hours, plus a couple of slow Russian trains taking over four hours. The Lithuanian railway company only lists its own trains on this route, check Russian Railways' English website for the full selection, but note that this only shows direct trains and can't grasp the concept of connections. The trains from Russia twice a day connect the exclave of Kaliningrad to Vilnius (6 hours) then continue to Minsk then fan out to Moscow, St Petersburg and beyond. There's even a direct train to Sochi and Adler on the Black Sea coast near the border with Georgia. Westerners on any of these routes need a Belarus transit visa as well as their Russian visa. From Latvia, there is no direct train service from Riga (although this may change once the Rail Baltica project is completed), but there are two trains from Daugavpils every Saturday and Sunday, with the second train from Daugavpils departing late enough to allow travel from Riga to Vilnius in a single day. Lithuania by Ferry Boat There are passenger/car ferries to Klaipeda from Sweden, Germany, Denmark operated by Lisco and Scandlines. However they do not run every day and are relatively slow.
