Express buses allow you to get from the city centre to the outskirts quickly, and the 6G route is no exception. For history buffs, this route offers a wonderful opportunity to discover a handful of interesting facts about the capital’s past while zipping through the city in turbo mode. In just half an hour, you will be able to visit both Šnipiškės and Naujoji Vilnia.
Route 6G starts at Žaliasis tiltas (Green Bridge), the oldest one over the Neris River. Later, the bus reaches the outskirts of Žirmūnai and Antakalnis and goes uphill along Olandų Street. At the end of Užupis, we will feel like the legendary rulers of Lithuania, marching eastwards towards Polotsk. The long stretch of forests that follows will surprise you not only with its enchanting landscape but also with the magnificent history of the Cannon Foundry and Rokantiškės Castle. As the journey picks up speed, the 6G Express reaches Naujoji Vilnia, a district that once had the status of a separate town.
Along this route, you will hear seven stories that provide a brief insight into the history of the city centre and the eastern outskirts. When the bus reaches each stop whose name you can see in the audioguide, play the corresponding audio track. The duration of each audio track is adapted to the normal speed of the bus. Don’t forget to enjoy the views through the windows. Have a great journey!
