Bolt rides, city-specific transit tickets and direct LTG train bookings
Lithuania uses euros and cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants and shops, but carry some cash for markets and remote stops.
Bolt has the broadest practical ride coverage; Uber now operates in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and Panevėžys, not Vilnius alone. Urban tickets are city-specific. In Vilnius, a contactless card buys one full-price 60-minute ticket, while the new JUDU app replaced m.Ticket and m.Parking in July 2026. Kaunas and Klaipėda have separate systems.
Use LTG Link for trains and Autobusų bilietai for many intercity buses. Drivers need daytime lights, winter tyres from 10 November through 31 March, and separate ferry, Neringa entry and parking payments for the Curonian Spit. Enable Lithuania's Cell Broadcast alerts, use LT72 as a supplementary official tool and call 112 in an emergency.

Reliable mobile internet at better prices than most travel eSIMs, with polished iOS and Android apps and support for making and receiving phone calls.
One of the biggest travel eSIM brands, with a very large destination catalog.
Known for unlimited-data plans in many destinations, at a higher price per gigabyte.
Prepaid brands wear different names in shops: look for Ezys, Extra, Pildyk and Labas, not Telia, Tele2 and Bite. An idle SIM quietly drains itself: with no plan active, a small daily fee is deducted from your credit, so top up only what you will use and activate a plan straight away. Most importantly, cheap Lithuanian prepaid data does not travel: domestic packages cannot be used elsewhere in the EU and separate, pricier roaming packs are needed, so pick a plan that explicitly includes an EU allowance if Lithuania is one leg of a longer trip. Checking your balance by USSD on Pildyk also costs a small fee; the app and website are free.
Largest network with the best coverage. Prepaid is sold under the Ezys and Extra brands rather than the Telia name.
Fastest speeds by a clear margin and the cheapest way in. Its prepaid brand is Pildyk.
Slightly behind on coverage but fine in populated areas. Its prepaid brand Labas needs SMS activation, with instructions printed only in Lithuanian.
