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.

It's surprisingly safe, if you are in trouble just run to someone for help. Lithuanians aren't that into staying out late, but the few that do are safe and sound, I don't think I ever thought about danger in the city center.

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.
