How safe is Lithuania?
Vilnius
I live in the centre so it is probably more safe than other parts of the city. But either way I have encountered only a few uncomfortable (not truly dangerous) situations in the 4 years that I’ve lived here.

Vilnius is very safe city, but there are some alchohol and drug addicts that you might wanna ignore. Also neighborhoods like Naujininkai or Šeškinė are not super safe, but all other areas are truly save and not to worry about.

Generally Its safe, even at night just try staying away and not engage in conversation with weird looking and drunk man. Usually Šnipiškės can be a little unsafe, but mostly at night. :))))))))))))))))

It is definitely a safe city, this I am comfortable in stating. However, it is full of different people, thus you still have to stay careful and mindful while enjoying Vilnius's night life, or just being out and about at nighttime.

It’s small but really safe city, you can walk alone and be sure about no one gonna harass you. I have been living there like 1 year and I have never seen any criminal situation. It’s true that people are cold but it doesn’t mean that they are bad people)

I would say it is very safe, interactions with drunk or unpleasant people are minimal, most places are in sight of light in city centre, in sleeping neighbourhood not everywhere, but it doesn’t scare me as people mind their own businesses… Here I feel much more safer than in other european countries

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.
