Destination-specific tips
•Vilnius Old Town is one of the largest surviving medieval old towns in Northern Europe and is a UNESCO World Heritage site; comfortable shoes are a must for navigating the cobblestones.
•While English is spoken in tourist areas, learning a few basic Lithuanian phrases like 'ačiū' (thank you) and 'laba diena' (good day) is appreciated.
•Public transport is efficient; consider purchasing a Vilnius City Card for free public transport and discounts on attractions.
•Pharmacies (vaistinė) are readily available for common over-the-counter remedies.
•Be aware that some older buildings might not have elevators, so pack accordingly if mobility is a concern.
