UK & Ireland Travel Tips

Emergency assistance in the UK & Ireland is readily available to travelers in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Study your medical insurance to know what it covers abroad - what kind of cases, services and institutions you can count on. You can also count on consular services so it's best to familiarize yourself with the contact details of your country's embassy or consulate in the countries you're visiting. Consular officers can assist with legal issues, medical emergencies, or emergency travel documents.

Tourist information centers are located in major cities and tourist areas across the UK and Ireland. They offer assistance, maps, and information in multiple languages. Staff can help with emergencies or direct you to the appropriate resources.

The following numbers connect you to emergency services in case of urgent situations. By knowing them, travelers can better prepare for unforeseen situations and seek assistance promptly. It's advisable to save these numbers in your phone or to keep them written down in case of emergencies during your travels.
