Some travelers mentioned that bus options between Vilnius and Grodno are limited and recommended booking tickets in advance due to reduced frequency. The key website used for booking these tickets is Infobus.by, which also provides updates on seat availability.

According to forum posts, buses run three times daily at specific hours: early morning at 04:50, afternoon at 14:05, and evening at 20:10. However, not all bus schedules are perfectly aligned with travelers' needs. The typical price for a one-way ticket is around 30 EUR, which is considered reasonable by many users.

When direct buses are sold out, some users have considered traveling via Minsk as an alternative route, although it complicates the journey due to additional visa requirements. Moreover, with ongoing changes at border crossings, it's advisable to check for the latest information close to the travel date.

According to forum posts, options for entering Belarus vary depending on the point of entry. For instance, crossing from Poland at Terespol/Brest requires a vehicle as foot crossing is not possible. Travelers have mentioned that border crossing by bus might involve long waits, often extending beyond 12 hours.

Travelers have pointed out that understanding visa requirements is crucial. Some posts indicated that while Belarus may not require a visa for short stays from certain nationalities, the rules can be confusing and should be verified to avoid issues at the border.

For many users, alternative entry points such as entering through Lithuania to Minsk by bus have been suggested to potentially avoid the long wait times experienced at the Polish border. This route might offer a more efficient crossing experience.

Once in Belarus, local trains like the one from Terespol to Brest are operational, but it's advisable to check the schedule and availability closer to the travel date due to potential changes or delays.

According to forum posts, there are bus and train options available for travel between Minsk and nearby cities. For instance, a bus departs from Minsk to Mir Castle at 14:00 from the Central bus station. Additionally, for travel from Minsk to Brest, users have discussed the possibility of taking a train, which is also a viable option for moving between these cities.

For those looking to travel beyond Belarus, such as to Lithuania, some travelers mentioned the availability of a bus line through Ecolines that travels from Minsk to Vilnius via the Kamenniy Log-Medininkai border crossing. However, it's advisable to book tickets in advance due to demand.

In situations where public transport is not preferable, forum users have discussed renting cars or taking minibuses. However, renting a car in Minsk can be challenging due to payment issues with non-CIS credit cards, and travelers are advised to arrange cash payments.
