If you wanna see Varena city, you need to take bus Vilnius-Varena or Vilnius-Druskininkai as well. It will take you to Varena station. Of course, the best way is to go by car, as you can easily make off-the-beaten path places when - on the road Vilnius-Varena you can turn to some old authentic Southern Lithuanian villages and see "Pirciupiai mother" monument for the victims of natzis.
