Spain is an appealing destination for Lithuanian visitors, thanks to its rich culture and stunning landscapes. As the third most visited country globally, it attracts millions each year, offering a mix of historical heritage and natural beauty. With around 700,000 Lithuanians traveling abroad annually, a portion is likely to be drawn to Spain.
Spain is generally safe for tourists, including those from Lithuania. According to safety rankings, Spain is 22nd out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is comparable to Lithuania's 24th position. The Global Peace Index ranks Spain 23rd out of 160 countries, indicating it is safer than Lithuania, which ranks 31st. In terms of crime statistics, Spain has a significantly lower murder rate at 0.6 per 100,000 people compared to Lithuania's 2.6. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Spain at 0.4 and Lithuania at 1.5.
