Baltic States Travel Tips

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay. Depending on your nationality, you may require a visa, so it’s essential to check the requirements in advance and apply early if needed.

Get travel insurance to cover medical emergencies, cancellations, and unexpected events. If you’re planning outdoor activities, confirm that your policy includes coverage. You can easily do so via our partners at Allianz.

Familiarise yourself with local emergency numbers. The universal emergency number 112 connects you to police, fire, and ambulance services across the Baltic States. Keep this number accessible throughout your trip. Additionally, our customer support line is available:
+1 (954) 787 5105

+41 553 391 888

All three Baltic States—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—use the Euro (EUR) as their official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, but it’s advisable to carry some cash for smaller transactions, especially in rural regions.

While English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, learning a few basic phrases in Estonian, Latvian, or Lithuanian can enhance your experience and demonstrate respect for local cultures.

Pack according to the season. Winters in the Baltic States are cold and often snowy, so warm layers and waterproof gear are essential. Summers are mild, so lighter clothing with an option for layers is recommended. Comfortable walking shoes are a must throughout the year.

The Baltic States use Type C or F plugs with a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. If your devices are not compatible, bring a universal adapter to ensure you can charge your electronics.

Check with your mobile provider about international roaming charges. Prepare for your upcoming trip by purchasing an e-sim plan on the Airalo app. It's a more affordable and convenient option compared to local SIM cards or international fees.

Organize essential travel documents, including flight tickets, hotel reservations, transportation passes, and any tour or activity bookings. Keep copies of important documents such as your passport, travel insurance, and emergency contacts.

Respect local traditions and customs to ensure a positive experience. When visiting religious sites, dress modestly and follow any specific guidelines. In public spaces, the locals generally value politeness and quiet behaviour, so maintaining a respectful attitude is always appreciated.
