Is Lithuania safe for solo female travelers?

Lithuania generally has a welcoming and safe environment for solo female travelers. The country is known for its rich history and friendly locals who are often willing to help if you find yourself in a difficult situation. The public transportation system is reliable, and most people speak English, especially in big cities like Vilnius. Use common sense like you would in any other location, like not walking alone late at night in deserted areas, and be aware of your belongings at all times, especially in crowded places. However, it is important to know that petty theft can occur, though it's not a common occurrence.

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.

Vilnius, Solo travel

I found Vilnius really safe, people really mind their own business and men are respectful. I even went on my own for food and a drink to a local pub, there was a group of men seated at the same table and they let me be. I loved the history of Vilnius, visiting the museums, going to the Opera, the prison, a fascinating place!

Lithuania, Couple travel

The country was very safe. Even though it was late, I was able to travel around the country safely. It is not a very expensive country. Since the country is small, most places are close to each other.

Vilnius

It’s pretty safe all around, except the station area. People are friendly and polite. Even though we don’t smile that much. Don’t be too loud, don’t be messy and say “ačiū” often enough and you will be alright.

It’s is really safe and crimes almost never happens, Lithuania at all is one of the safest countries! There is few places you need to hold on to your bag in a night time, but that is all I promise! :)))
