Foreign Office Advice on Lithuania
Lithuanian embassy page - unofficial embassy homepage!
- Fuel (availability, quality and cost)
fuel is widely available and is about €0.94 per litre - very useful AA site here for petrol prices across Europe AA Roadwatch petrol price table Lithuania does not accept the Euro however and local prices are 3.2 per litre
- Period in country
It's possible we will only be in Lithuania for one day... this needs to be firmed on the route timetable
- State of roads
Road There is a good network of roads within the country. Modern four-lane motorways connect Vilnius with Klaipeda, Kaunas and Panevezys. Traffic regulations: Seat belts must be worn. The speed limit is 110kph (68mph) on motorways, 90kph (56mph) on country roads and 60kph (44mph) inside towns. The Vilnius-Kaunas highway has a speed limit of 100kph (60mph). Traffic drives on the right. Bus: Generally, buses are more frequent and quicker than domestic trains and serve almost every town and village. Car hire: Avis, Europcar and Hertz can provide chauffeur-driven or self-drive cars. Documentation: Most European nationals should be in possession of EU pink format driving licences. Otherwise, a national driving licence is sufficient, if supported by photograph-bearing ID.
- Local embassy advice (phone call to the local British embassy)
The British Embassy in Lithuania can be found here - complete contact details are available from the website - in case of emergency in the country we should contact +370 698 37097 and ask for the Duty Consular Officer
- Emergency advice, including medical cover – what happens if we have to go to hospital?
The British Embassy in Vilnius can help us - we should call +370 698 37097 24 hours a day - medical cover in Lithuania is as the rest of the Europe with the EHIC card - specific details on services available with that card in Lithuania can be found hereBUT because of the 'newness' of Lithuania in the EU there are only specific doctors / dentists etc we can use - we should print out and take the advice on the page above with us.
- Cost of everyday items
Generally quite cheap, having difficulty finding specific prices but if the petrol is anything to go by about 1/2 the price of the UK.
- Usual cost of ‘gifts‘
No bribes required
- Border routines Inward
EU 'border-less' crossing, normal rules apply as rest of EU - passport required - customs to be declared - specific customs regulations can be found here
- Border Routines Outward
As above
- Cost of accommodation – towns / villages – camping, B&B, hotels
