Vilnius is a tourist-friendly city and visitors can enjoy their stay without having to worry about their personal safety. General precautions should, as always, be taken as the city does get quite busy over the summer period and petty theft can occur. Pubs and nightclubs can get a bit rowdy late in the evenings but tourists are fine to walk alone in the evenings.
It is always important to go for a general health check-up before a trip overseas. It is best to do this 4-6 weeks before your trip. For your trip to Lithuania, it is recommended to get a vaccination against hepatitis A, as well as hepatitis B and rabies.
