Do you need a travel adapter in Lithuania?

In most cases no. Lithuania uses the same standard as the Netherlands, with 230 volts and 50 Hz. The plug types used also match Dutch plugs well, so you can usually just plug in directly.

What does that mean in practice?

Very simple: your phone charger, laptop charger, camera charger and other standard equipment normally work without an adapter. So you don't need to buy a separate travel adapter especially for Lithuania, unless you simply like to have a universal solution to hand for other trips.

Why Lithuania is easy for Dutch travellers

For some destinations you have to take account of different sockets, a different voltage or a different frequency. In Lithuania this usually doesn't apply. As a result, this is mainly a destination where you need little preparation in that respect.

Is a universal travel adapter handy after all?

For Lithuania itself usually not, but it is if you travel often or combine several countries. Then it's practical to have one fixed universal travel adapter in your bag, even if you probably don't need it at this destination.
