Is Lithuania a safe place to travel?
Yes. As in any populated area of the world, you will want to exercise caution in terms of where you walk and travel late at night and generally you will want to protect your personal property. But personal assaults, especially personal assaults against strangers, are very rare. Handguns are illegal and generally not available, which dramatically changes the patterns of crime compared to the U.S., for example. Visitors who exercise ordinary levels of caution and prudence typically have a safe and trouble-free experience.
