Is Vilnius Safe for Solo 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.

Group travel

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.

Group travel

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 taste).

Solo travel

Vilnius 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!

I 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.

I 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.

I 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.

I 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.

There are some parts of the city that you can avoid, I dont think its unsafe is more uncomfortable for women. But mainly because of men from other countries. But in general is very calm chill place to be, public transport is amazing.

It’s the safest city I’ve ever lived in! It’s quiet, peaceful, and I’ve walked home in the dark many times alone without any fear - even at 2am! I’ve only heard through a friend of one occurrence of harassment, which took place on a bus - a drunk man was harassing a woman, and immediately other people on the bus stepped in to protect that women and get that man off the bus.
