Very safe! There are some rough areas further from the city centre but issues from strange characters might arise only at night. Not sure about clubbing, but I heard it's not the most pleasant experience here.

Vilnius is a very safe city. I have lived here for 4 years and have not been attacked, robbed or harassed. It is safe to walk at night, and go out. Just avoid the train station and the general area around it.

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.

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!
