Staying safe

• •In general Lithuania is a safe country, but you should take basic precautions:
• •Dark corners: you have no reason to be in rough neighbourhoods, especially at night, but any short cut through a darkened park or apartment complex may expose you to opportunistic attack.

Staying healthy

• •You need adequate health insurance: for visitors an annual multi-trip policy is often the best deal.
• •Be up-to-date on all the immunisations recommended for your own country (including seasonal flu for older people), you don't need anything extra here.
• •Tap water is safe to drink. If you prefer bottled, a 5-litre bottle is not much more expensive than a one-litre bottle.
• •Lithuania was declared rabies-free in 2022.
• •The only venomous snake is the European Viper (angis), with a bite no worse than a bad hornet sting to a healthy adult but possibly fatal to a dog or small child.
• •Mosquitoes are a confounded nuisance in summer: they carry no disease, but think twice about camping if you react badly to bites. Forest ticks confer a risk of Lyme disease or encephalitis.
