How safe is Lithuania?
Vilnius
There are some parts of the city that you can avoid, I dont think its unsafe is more uncomfortable for women. But mainly because of men from other countries. But in general is very calm chill place to be, public transport is amazing.

Lithuania is a very safe place, of course if you are looking for club life than not so safe, but living and enjoying culture super safe. In my life living in Lithuania I haven’t experienced any issues with strangers, especially in my home city. In comparison when i was in France Paris I felt super uncomfortable while riding metro, i can’t event describe this feeling, but I haven’t in my life experienced it here in Lithuania

It’s the safest city I’ve ever lived in! It’s quiet, peaceful, and I’ve walked home in the dark many times alone without any fear - even at 2am! I’ve only heard through a friend of one occurrence of harassment, which took place on a bus - a drunk man was harassing a woman, and immediately other people on the bus stepped in to protect that women and get that man off the bus.

Generally Vilnius is very safe, there are some parts of the city that are a bit more dangerous but usually there is no reason to visit those parts. City center and everything around feels like the safest place out of all I have been to

I would say Vilnius is pretty safe comparing to other cities I’ve been to. In day light it is completely safe to wake up by yourself as a woman. Other people especially men are a bit shy, and rarely give you any weird comments. However in the dark there are some places, around bus station especially, where you will feel a bit unsafe.

Kaunas is a pretty safe city. In daylight-there’s absolutely nothing to worry about, sometimes there are some less public places, where you can feel scared as a woman, but other than that-people are trusting. At night on the other hand, be careful of drunk people around the bars-some drunk men tend to talk to you harrass, therefore stay carefull with that.

The people are very sweet and friendly. They are helpful. Most of them know English. It is a sweet and beautiful place. Although there are fewer places to visit and see than other countries, it is still a place worth traveling to.

Lithuania is pretty safe, especially in the bigger cities (Kaunas, Vilnius). It is safest in the daytime, where lots of people gather. In the nightime the only danger you are met with is drunk people messing around, other than that it is relatively safe.

It is safe enough. There are places near old town (Naujamiestis, Krasnuxa, Szanxaj, central station) where you better do not go alone in the middle of the night because maybe you will be affected by some drunk people or homeless people. They are mot dangerous but they can disturb you. Overall it is safe.

Vilnius, Solo travel
I found Vilnius really safe, people really mind their own business and men are respectful. I even went on my own for food and a drink to a local pub, there was a group of men seated at the same table and they let me be. I loved the history of Vilnius, visiting the museums, going to the Opera, the prison, a fascinating place!

Lithuania, Couple travel
The country was very safe. Even though it was late, I was able to travel around the country safely. It is not a very expensive country. Since the country is small, most places are close to each other.

About Me
I’m recently graduated from high school and I want to travel now as much as possible. I’m an artistic person, I like drawing, sculpting and painting. I like to talk about various topics and I enjoy a good company. But also I don’t mind being alone, I think the most important thing in life is to learn how to be comfortable around yourself.
