Litrail www.litrail.lt has services to major cities in Lithuania. Fares are low compared to Western Europe: Vilnius-Kaunas ~17 Litas (5 Euro), Vilnius-Klaipeda ~50 Litas (14,5 Euro), Sestokai (Lithuanian-Polish border) - Kaunas ~20 Litas (5,8 Euro).
Many of the long distance trains have compartments which can accommodate six seated passengers or four sleeping passengers. The headrest can be lifted up to form a very comfortable bunk bed, which can be used while people are seated below. The seats themselves form the other pair of beds. As some journeys are quite long (about 5 hours in the case of Vilnius-Klaipeda), it is common to see people sleeping on the upper bunks during daytime journeys as well.
Narrow Gauge Railway in Anyksciai offers short trips to a near-by lake. In summer it runs on regular schedule, rest of the time tours must be booked in advance.
