Change trains at Mockava
LTG Link describes the Warsaw connection at about 7 hours 30 minutes, with a change at Mockava. Search the complete Vilnius–Warsaw journey rather than treating it as one direct train. Check the Polish arrival station and the connection instructions on your booking.
Compare the coach fairly
Lux Express and FlixBus are coach options to check. Compare the same date, exact stops and luggage needs. A headline minimum can refer to a different stop pair from the one near your room, so use the full duration in the selected itinerary.
Leave the Warsaw evening unhurried
Save the station or coach-stop address and the route to your room. Lithuania and Poland use different local times, so read the printed times at each end rather than subtracting the clock numbers as if they were in one zone. Keep the arrival evening free of a tightly timed museum or separate long-distance departure.
Plan the arrival
The Vilnius guide and Warsaw guide explain the local journeys, places to stay and visits. Add the main travel ticket separately to your daily spending plan. The distance above is a straight-line comparison between the city centres; your train, road or flight route can be longer.
