Next January I've got a weeks annual leave and quite fancy a wee trip on the southern part of the Warsaw to St. Petersburg Railway. Specifically from Warsaw to Białstok (overnight), then Grodno (overnight), bus to Marcinkonys, then finally local train to Vilnius.
I will be using a FIP free coupon for the Polish element.
I have a few questions:-
1)Is it possible to get a ticket from Kuźnica Białostocka to Grodno in advance as I will probably need it to obtain a Belarussian transit visa.
2) Does anyone have any information about buses from Grodno to the Lithuanian border. Timetables, prices, &c..
3) Re. the Belarus transit visa. It is valid for 48hrs but is this a strict 48hrs or in reality "two days". I will enter Belarus at 14:30 on a Tuesday and wish to leave Thursday morning. Does anyone have experience of the Belarus visa regime?
Thanks in advance.
