Is Kaunas Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Kaunas

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.

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.

Overall safe city, wouldn’t go somewhere alone at night tho.. but if you’re in city centre then you’re okay cause I would say that it’s not that safe in sleeping areas at night. During the day its safe🫶

Kaunas and overall Lithuania is very safe place for solo travelers. Especially in day time. The only bad thing that happened is that recently in few nightclubs girls were getting spiked by bartender, but it is not normal thing in here and it happened in nearby capital city Vilnius and not Kaunas.

Kaunas had a lot of history with organized crime in the 90s when Lithuania just declared independence, but since joining the EU and NATO our country, in my opinion flourished, when I was growing up the city did not have a good vibe, but since reconstructing our city, getting more funds into education, culture and etc. Kaunas became much more safe, living here all my life, and not being the type of person to stay indoors, I'd say as a woman I have never been threatened, followed, harassed physically or sexually here. I am a night owl and also a traveller between the cities in Lithuania, at night I have never felt unsafe or had any incidents that requeried any intervienence.

Overall, Kaunas is a very safe city. While there are some areas to avoid during a dark period, Kaunas center and most areas are really safe. The crime rate is also really safe compared to cities across the world.

I walk a lot, so even walking home alone in my remote home area after few drinks feels safe enaugh for me. It is never 100% safe to walk alone at night, but i am sure there is no sittuation without a solution💜

Kaunas in my opinion in safe place to travel every time of day (night or day), so I think that its kind of safe place to stay. People are polite and nature is just amazing, don’t forget about Kaunas history that is just incredible

Kaunas is a very safe city, thankfully. I walked at night from friend's places, the centre and any place you could possibly imagine and i never faced any suspicious situations. Usually people sleep by 8 here and lithuanians by nature are kinda antisocial, so trust me when i say they'd try to avoid seeing people as much as possible so 9/10 no one would bother you unless you're around a club and you find some drunks, then i'd say be cautious but other than that it's a very safe country for women solo travelling or in groups

I would say it's pretty safe and you can feel safe unless it's a darker time of the day, it's possible to get the cat called if you're walking and it's later but it's not very common. when it's a darker time of the day it's better to be with someone else either another girl or a guy friend just so you could feel more comfortable
