  • Lithuania ↗Lithuania is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Lithuanian sources for your passport.
  • Lithuania ↗Borders with Belarus and the Russian Kaliningrad region are not routes for casual travel; check your government's advice first.
  • Lithuania ↗The Curonian Spit is a protected national park: cars pay an entry fee, and the Russian half of the spit is a separate border.
  • Vilnius and the east ↗Dec–Feb is cold and dark in Vilnius and Trakai: plan outdoor sights for 10:00 to 15:00.
  • Vilnius ↗Old Town streets are cobbled and uneven, and snow or ice makes them slower: large suitcases go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
  • Vilnius ↗December and January have about seven hours of daylight: plan outdoor sights for 10:00 to 15:00.
