Lithuania is an appealing destination for some Belgian travelers, offering a unique mix of attractions in the Baltic region. While it may not attract as many visitors as larger European countries, it still presents opportunities for exploration that could interest a portion of the 8.6 million Belgians who travel abroad annually.
Lithuania is generally considered a safe destination for tourists from Belgium. According to safety rankings, Lithuania is 24th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is better than Belgium's rank of 39th. The Global Peace Index also reflects that Lithuania is relatively safe, ranking 31st out of 160 countries, though Belgium ranks higher at 16th. In terms of crime statistics, Lithuania has a higher murder rate of 2.6 per 100,000 people compared to Belgium's 1.1. Female murder rates are also higher in Lithuania (1.5) than in Belgium (0.2). Regarding organized crime, both countries have their challenges, but Lithuania generally scores slightly worse in some areas, such as state crime and crime networks. However, it fares better in human smuggling and arms trafficking. Overall, while there are some safety concerns, especially regarding violent crime, Lithuania remains a popular and relatively safe destination for Belgian tourists.
