Lithuania presents a unique appeal for Icelandic travelers, offering a range of attractions that could attract some of the approximately 100,000 Icelanders who travel abroad annually. While it may not rival larger European tourist destinations, its distinct charm and cultural offerings make it a noteworthy option for a segment of Icelandic visitors.
Lithuania is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Iceland. However, it ranks 24th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is lower than Iceland's 3rd place ranking. According to the Global Peace Index, Lithuania is ranked 31st out of 160 countries, indicating it is relatively safe but still not as secure as Iceland. In terms of crime statistics, Lithuania has a murder rate of 2.6 per 100,000 people, compared to Iceland's very low rate of 0.5. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Iceland at 0.6 and Lithuania at 1.5. When looking at organized crime, Lithuania scores slightly worse than Iceland in several categories, including mafia groups and crime networks, though both countries are relatively low on the scale. Overall, while Lithuania is safe for tourists, it is advisable for visitors to remain aware of their surroundings and take standard safety precautions.
