Tipping in Lithuania

EUR
Last reviewed · Sep 2026Sources & methodology

Tipping is appreciated but modest, closer to mainland Europe than US rates. Round up everyday bills, or leave about 5-10% for good sit-down service. Card terminals may offer a tip prompt as cash use falls. Bars and short Bolt rides tip lighter than restaurants.
