Lithuania

Personally, haven’t had any bad experiences neither heard stories from friends or family, though I think it depends on area and time, like anywhere else there’s always a possibility something bad could happen but I wouldn’t put Lithuania at the top of the list, just speaking from my own experience

Vilnius

It's a relatively safe city. Of course, as a woman it's better to not walk around after dark in certain neighborhoods, like Naujininkai, Karoliniškės. Other than that it's pretty safe. Some common sense safety precautions in clubs, bars are needed, like keeping an eye on your drink.

Kaunas

quite a safe place to be. public transportation is safe no matter the time of day and people are ok too. during the night not many people are around outside the city center, so the vibes might be weird as no one is around, but i never had a bad experience even when walking alone at night for an hour.

Vilnius

Vilnius is save and calm. Sometimes at night can be unpleasant situations, but usually it's only about few districts. I have been living here for 2 years and I have never faced with physically harm from strangers. But sometimes drunk people especially on a station can say rude and dirty words

Generally Vilnius is pretty safe, you can meet drunk people but usually you dont get annoyed by strangers, only some homeless people can disturb, but it doesnt happen often, maybe once a month. But i dont recomend being alone in naujininkai or bus station area

Lithuania, Solo travel

I visited Vilnius and Kaunas. I felt so safe, it's so clean, peaceful and comfy. People is really kind and it's a super cultural place, artistic and historical. It has a lot of museums to visit. It's foreigners friendly.
