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 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.

Marijampolė is very safe!! it's a small family city. i grew up in Zagreb, Croatia and i would not feel safe walking there alone at night, but here i do and it was very surprising to me to experience this.

Vilnius is a safe place to visit. People are friendly and honest. Crimes are not often thing except at night clubs. Night clubs is most dangerous places at Vilnius. People are loud here, but you don't have to be scared of that.

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

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 🙏😊

Trakai
Trakai is very safe. There is only 5000 people living there and most of them are elderly people so it’s super chill. There is no nightlife there, everything is so quiet at night you can’t find a single soul in the city.

Lithuania is generally a safe country and Lithuanians are very warm. But, like everywhere, you have to be careful because we find the same crimes as everywhere in the world: theft, harassment, sexual assault, etc.

Vilnius, Family travel
Vilnius is extremely safe, quiet city. Transportation is very comfortable and it is easy to get from one point to another. In 2 days, it is possible to complete the city tour. First day: the Church of St. Peter and Paul, Monument of Three Crosses, Gediminas Castle Tower and the second day Old Town and the churches, streets, squares in Old Town can be explored. Pilies Street, the Orthodox Church of Holy Spirit are must-see locations.

I traveled to Vilnius with a group of friends and managed to stay there for 6 days. From my experience, I can tell that we overall felt safe during our trip, and were very excited about tourist sightseeings. Vilnius is a vibrant city with interesting spots, restaurants, history, people, and culture.
