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.
Posted: September 2, 2024Experienced: July, 2024I 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.
Posted: August 24, 2024Experienced: August, 2023I 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 taste).
Posted: August 11, 2024Vilnius is a very cozy little town, with various hygge cafes and restaurants (one cute cat cafe among them!). Ancient streets and sights, if you like to stroll along beautiful narrow streets while stopping for a coffee here and there - that’s your kind of place!
Posted: August 6, 2024I visited places including Uzupis, Soho nightclub, and the Lithuanian Gay League center. There are many backpacker hostels, walking tours, and good affordable food. Culturally people are not very "smiley" but that does not mean they are unkind or unhelpful.

Vilnius is always great 🫶 I adore this city and it’s really worth visiting during any season. Great people, nice traditional cuisine and Old Town makes you go back in time. Every time I leave, I immediately want to go back :) There are many options for exploring the city and the country itself, for shopping, activities and anything you like during trips.
Posted: April 18, 2024I only spent two days there. At the MO Museum at that time, there was a contemporary art exhibition about Vilnius, which gave me some idea of what artists think about this place. I saw Literacka Street, Zarzecze (an alternative state, which even has its own charming constitution) and as for cafes, I recommend Elska Coffee.
Posted: October 14, 2023I loved Vilnius when I went there at the end of February. You can see a lot on foot, the people are friendly, the cost of living is affordable, the list of advantages is long. I stayed at the Jimmy Jumps hostel and I was very comfortable there.
Posted: December 16, 2022I loved my trip to Vilnius. I really enjoyed visiting Trakai and the castle. It's a taxi ride, but a beautiful one. During my stay in the city, I loved the old town and just walked the streets, watching the graffiti. I visited the Museum of Freedom Fighters and the Museum of Illusions along with the castle.
Posted: December 14, 2022Things to do: - Cathedral - Gediminas Castle Tower - History Museum - Arka Gallery - Bastion Defensive Walls - Bridge in Užupis - Republic of Užupis - Trakai - Castle on the island in Trakai Safety: Vilnius is wonderful and very safe. Recommendations: Vilnius is a wonderful city with plenty of cool architecture and things to see.

Vilnius is an extremely safe city. Maybe because it's quite small and everybody knows each other in one way or another, so making immoral stuff would be quite humiliating, cause it wouldn't go unnoticed.

Overall Vilnius is safe, i have heard some cases of minor attacks on foreigners but its not very common and stuff like that happens everywhere. So just to be safe, i wouldnt advise anyone to go outside after midnight, also alcoholism is a problem in Lithuania (its eastern european disease haha) so just be careful and aware of your surroundings if you go to a bar. I did witness a bar fight once but again, that happens everywhere😂🤌 I've been harassed and scared to death in countries like Finland and Germany, so as a woman, i think we should be extremely careful everywhere we go. Based on my previous experiences in both western and eastern european countries,I would rate Vilnius as a safe city🇱🇹💖

Hi, I’m Egle and travelling always has given me much joy but everything’s so expensive nowadays so if there’s a chance to not spend (much) money on accommodation and meet new people in places I want to travel to I want to use this opportunity and of course I would give the same in return!!!
