Lithuania is an appealing destination for some Turkish travelers, offering a unique mix of attractions within the Baltic region. While it doesn't attract as many visitors as major European tourist hotspots, it still has the potential to interest a segment of the 2.7 million Turks who travel abroad annually.
Lithuania is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Türkiye. In terms of safety while walking alone at night, Lithuania ranks 24th out of 40 countries, which is safer than Türkiye's 31st position. According to the Global Peace Index, Lithuania is ranked 31st out of 160 countries, significantly safer than Türkiye, which ranks 137th. Regarding crime statistics, the murder rates are similar, with Türkiye at 2.5 per 100,000 people and Lithuania at 2.6. However, Lithuania has lower indices for organized crime, indicating a safer environment in that regard. For example, Lithuania scores better than Türkiye in areas such as mafia groups (3.5 vs. 8.0) and human trafficking (3.5 vs. 7.0). Overall, while both countries have their challenges, Lithuania offers a safer experience for tourists compared to Türkiye.
