There were no changes to the advisory level or risk indicators. Advisory summary was updated.

Exercise normal precautions in Lithuania.

Advisory summary

Lithuania is generally a safe destination for travelers.

Review our travel guidance for Lithuania to learn how to prepare for a safe trip.

If you decide to travel to Lithuania:

• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to get important updates and alerts from the U.S. embassy or consulate. Enrolling helps the U.S. embassy or consulate contact you or your emergency contact in an emergency.   
• Review the Country Security Report for Lithuania.
• Be aware of your surroundings when traveling to tourist locations and crowded public venues. 
• Follow the instructions of local authorities. 
• Monitor local media for breaking news. Be prepared to adjust your plans. 
• Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website for the latest Travel Health Information for Lithuania.  
• Whether you’re a first time or frequent traveler, use the International Travel Checklist. 
• We highly recommend that you buy travel insurance before you travel. Check with your travel insurance provider about evacuation assistance, medical insurance, and trip cancelation coverage. 
• Any need for comments about Americans seeking to cross the Russian border into Kaliningrad or the bilateral border into Belarus?
• Comment noted, Mr. Grondelski; because Lithuania is Level 1, we cannot reference it in the Travel Advisory, but we can add language on entry to Russia (Kaliningrad) and Belarus via Lithuania in the Lithuania DIP instead.
