How safe is Vilnius for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

4.5 /5

based on 15 experiences from female travelers

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!

Family travel

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.

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.

Vilnius is really safe as long as you’re surrounded by people and don’t walk in sketchy streets especially at night and alone. Especially around center it’s super safe during day and night. Everyone is friendly and helpful, especially women, also the majority speaks english.

Less safe city parts near airport or train/bus station. City center is safe. Safe in public transport. People speak English so could help. Taxi mostly drives not locals. Perfectly works food delivery with Bolt ir Wolt apps. Bolt app also suitable for taxi trips.

Vilnius is so safety that you can go for a walk on the late evenings. Public transportation system is pretty easy so you can figure it out quickly and explore the city safely. Also the dominant force of work, society are women.
