It’s a little town, people know each other, I think safety mostly depends on one’s intentions. Got harassed by two teens today, so that could happen. Have been living here for 3 years, not much violence.

I live in a calm and peaceful block. Even though there's a forest nearby, I don't feel scared walking around in the dark. In the center, it's also peaceful. I felt safe even after visiting a couple of bars in the center at night.

Vilnius is a lovely city with wonderful people who are ready to help you in any case! I’ve never felt unsafe here, even in the dark. Of course, there are some homeless and drinkers, but they don’t seem to be dangerous or be harassing anyone if you don’t touch or provoke them.

Everything depends on neighbourhoods. Mostly it is save. Just at the dark can be uncomfortable to go between specific streets where we have drunk people lot. But as a person who grew up here. I never experienced any harassment

The city centre is mostly safe, better not to stray off where there's no lights and you'll likely be fine. Personally I never experienced any harassment and i feel mostly safe. The public transport is also quite safe.

It's safe to walk during the day, but it's better to be careful at night. You can safely drive on public transport, but it's better not to be alone in the evenings. Go where the streets are lit. Always have your phone close to you.

From my experience Vilnius is safe! I had late night walks and I did not receive any cat-calling or harassment. I mean like in any cities there is dangerous areas, but overall it's good in Vilnius. The public transport is also safe, just be respectful to elderly people ;)

It usually depends on the parts of Kaunas you visit. For example, the central areas are more welcoming to new travelers, nobody really pays attention to you and do their own things. I’ve lived in Kaunas my whole life and so far I have never been harrassed in clubs or pubs, hit on in concerts or even approached on public transport. Although for later evenings I would suggest staying closer to well lit areas and using Bolt or Uber for your rides home just in case you feel unsafe in the area.

Vilnius is safe place to visit for all people, there is no crime that much. You can walk on the night not worrying for anything. But you need to be a little bit careful when you are going to a train station area there is more people who are on drugs so maybe u should stay more in the other areas.

Vilnius is a beautiful safe place. I live in the city center and never feel any danger being alone outside at night, sometimes I am just going home from gym at 23:00. The only danger is probably on the weekends when people get drunk and might start talking to you , but that’s very rare.

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.
