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.

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 felt incredibly safe in Vilnius. I don’t say this lightly m but I never felt this safe walking around at night (I was with another person though). Not once where we cat called and not once where we even given a weird look. I can’t even say the same for my home town! Vilnius is so beautiful and everything is so cheap there (you can comfortably pay with euro 😍). The city centre has a mall where they have a bubble tea store where they serve rose slushies (best thing I ever had the honor to...

Vilnius is generally pretty safe except for the drunks or other addicts/ homeless people that gather around the bus/ train station. Although i havent experienced any violence or significant feeling of unsafety walking around vilnius myself( maybe im used to it) id say its just generally uncomfortable somethimes being around drunk people, esp on public transit sometimes

It is a very safe city even during the night (midnight to 5 am). I never felt weird or unsafe walking home late at night even in unlit areas (which Ive done quite a few times). The only area that might be sketchy during the night is bus/train station area, so you might just want to be a little bit more alert but even then I walked there at almost midnight and nothing ever happened.

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! :)))
