I’ve never felt dangerous here, people are a tad colder emotionally here, but they’re still welcoming:) Never gotten anything stolen or anything like that. You’re almost never approached on the streets.

Lithuania

Lithuania is pretty safe country because our police force and department is strong and takes care of those things quickly. About sexual harassment and assaults I can say that in public it depends how you dress, if you dress ,,properly” then it’s less likely that someone will do or say something bad to you. But so people tend to be a bit racist….

Klaipeda

It is considered to be a pretty safe city and country too. Never had problems with locals, most of them speak English, so it’s easy to communicate, of course as long you behave properly and don’t cause disturb as everywhere

City centre is very safe. But be careful with older guys or young “street jerks”. Probably they just impolite:) Always use official platforms like Bolt for taxi. Public transport is very safe, you can sit in front, near driver. If something happens, call police they care;)

Vilnius

Vilnius is calm, safe and sound. People rarely look at you and you can stroll around the streets of the old town at night without a worry. The only place that could feel a bit unsafe is around the main train station, as it's still not fully gentrified.

Lithuania

It is fairly safe country, many of my internationals friends who come here are actually surprised. Often times you can leave stuff out on its own and noone will take it. Also, people are friendly and helpful

Klaipeda

As I live in the city center, next to the old town, all the surrounding is really safe. I think sometimes it depends on your behavior or dressing as well - if you are drunk, shouting loud, minidress, etc, you can provoke similar minded people to start chatting with you or smth. If you are kind, polite, open minded, just a happy soul - you should never get any problems 🙏😊
