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.

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 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.

I’ve never experienced any issues here, it feels like a very safe place to live in. I never hear about any crimes, and if anything happens it’s super rare. I feel like I live in one of the safest towns in the world.

It’s really safe – I haven't heard about pickpockets or other crimes in day time. The only thing to watch out for is drunk people, especially in the evenings when passing by bars, since there can be pushy men looking for attention or making comments. During the day everything is safe, of course you should follow basic safety rules just like anywhere else. At night, it’s better not to walk through courtyards, since you never know what might happen there, but overall it’s safe.

Pretty safe small town, center is small and usually people are nice and friendly, as always you should still be couscous during night life events, clubs ect., but nothing too dangerous. Stay in more centre range than further away places and it’s pretty safe and chill place to be in Lithuania. I’d even say safest town in country that’s still pretty big compared to Lithuanian cities.

It depends of which part of the city you are but for the most part it is very safe. I'm not scared to walk alone on the streets, even at night. Mostly there's stuff happening in the center though nothing too serious, mostly just drunk people.

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
