Baltic States Travel Tips

Emergencies

When traveling in the Baltic States, knowing how to get emergency assistance and the relevant contact numbers is important. This information can make a critical difference in ensuring your safety and well-being during your trip. Here's a guide to help you stay prepared.

Emergency Assistance

Travelers visiting Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania can feel secure knowing that these countries have efficient emergency response systems. Before your trip, check your medical insurance policy to understand the coverage available while abroad, including emergency medical services, hospital care, and assistance for unexpected situations. For serious issues, such as passport loss, legal matters, or significant emergencies, contact your country's embassy or consulate in the Baltic States. It is recommended to keep their contact details handy throughout your trip.


Pharmacies provide over-the-counter medications and medical assistance for minor health concerns. Many pharmacies in major cities operate 24/7, and designated on-duty pharmacies are available outside regular hours. If you require urgent medication, ask locals or hotel staff for the nearest emergency pharmacy.


Located in major cities and popular tourist areas, tourist information centers provide maps, directions, and multilingual assistance. They can also help direct travelers to the nearest hospitals, pharmacies, or emergency services if needed
