DO:
• When on a date, bring an odd number of flowers. An even number is only suitable for funerals!
• When travelling by bus – always mark your ticket! The conductors are not always forgiving.
• If you receive good service – leave tips! The usual practice is to give at least 10% of the total.
• Always be on time! Lithuanians tend to value each other’s time and punctuality is encouraged.
DON’T:
• Don’t consume alcohol in parks, squares and other public places. It is prohibited by law!
• Don’t litter in public places. You will get fined!
• Don’t kiss a person when greeting them if you do not know them well. It is more common to shake hands in Lithuania first.
• Don’t get into a waiting taxi. If you call it by phone or online app, it will take you to your destination at a much lower rate.
