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.

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.
Posted: August 6, 2025Kaunas is a pretty safe city. In daylight-there’s absolutely nothing to worry about, sometimes there are some less public places, where you can feel scared as a woman, but other than that-people are trusting. At night on the other hand, be careful of drunk people around the bars-some drunk men tend to talk to you harrass, therefore stay carefull with that.

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.
Posted: February 16, 2025It 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.
