The Republic of Lithuania borders the Baltic Sea in Eastern Europe, sharing borders with Latvia, Poland, Belarus and Russia. The population is about 3.5 million people. Lithuania’s government is a parliamentary republic with a president serving as head of state and a prime minister serving as head of government.
Lithuania declared independence in 1918; however, the country was occupied by the Soviets and Nazi Germany during World War II and was integrated into the Soviet Union following the end of the war. In 1990, a year before the formal breakup of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare independence. Lithuania gained membership in the European Union and NATO in 2004. While Lithuania was hit hard by the 2009 financial crisis, the government’s efforts to reform the economy and attract foreign investment have resulted in one of the fastest growing economies in Europe. Lithuania continues to shift towards a knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on biotechnology.
Lithuania is known for its beautiful lakes and forests. The Curonian Spit National Park provides excellent trails and an opportunity to see elk, deer and avian wildlife, as well as great views of the dunes. The capital, Vilnius, is known for the architecture of its old town. Travellers looking for a summer seaside resort can visit Palanga, a city with a population of 10,000 that grows to 600,000 in July and August.

Lithuania中的安全性
人身安全
立陶宛是歐洲較安全的國家之一，暴力犯罪率較低。扒手等輕微犯罪主要發生在擁擠的觀光區、繁忙的火車站、大眾運輸和市場。維爾紐斯老城區、公共交通樞紐和熱門旅遊景點需要對物品保持高度警覺。據報道，維爾紐斯的夜生活場所和節日期間，尤其是在酒吧和夜總會，曾發生飲料下藥事件。自 2022 年以來，立陶宛與白俄羅斯和加里寧格勒接壤的邊境地區加強了安保力度，提高了身分證檢查頻率，但遊客並不存在特定的安全隱患。汽車竊盜和入室盜竊的目標通常是較新、較昂貴的車輛。詐騙主要涉及機場和火車站附近的非官方計程車司機，他們會向遊客多收錢。請使用註冊的計程車服務或 Bolt 等共乘應用程式。警察專業且反應迅速，所有服務的緊急電話號碼均為 112。根據 2023 年的數據，立陶宛報告的犯罪、暴力和破壞案件在歐盟中排名第二低。該國沒有危險地區或高犯罪率社區。大多數犯罪事件源自於與酒精相關的糾紛，而非隨機暴力。
極端暴力
立陶宛暴力犯罪罕見。由於所有歐洲國家都存在跨國恐怖攻擊的潛在風險，因此恐怖主義的可能性不容忽視，儘管立陶宛近代史上未發生針對平民的重大事件。 2024年，立陶宛當局逮捕了一個與俄羅斯情報部門有關聯的策劃歐洲恐怖攻擊的團夥，該團夥使用透過國際快遞服務發送的簡易爆炸裝置。立陶宛持續面臨來自俄羅斯和中國等敵對國家的網路威脅，烏克蘭戰爭爆發後，網路事件增加。騷擾、人身攻擊和搶劫針對外國人、少數族裔和LGBTQ群體，通常發生在深夜酒吧和夜總會附近。這些事件仍然是孤立的，而非普遍存在的。立陶宛歷史上沒有發生造成平民傷亡的恐怖爆炸事件。上一次外國侵略發生在1991年一月事件期間，當時蘇聯軍隊殺害了14名平民。立陶宛存在人口販運，主要作為強迫勞動、性剝削和強迫犯罪的來源國。
政治動盪
立陶宛時常發生抗議活動，尤其是在大城市，通常會提前宣布。 2024 年和 2025 年的抗議活動主要集中在文化和政治議題上，包括反對政府聯盟相關文化部決定的大規模示威活動。這些抗議活動都是和平的。歷史表明，立陶宛自獨立運動以來就有悠久的和平示威傳統。即使是和平示威也可能演變成對抗，因此遊客應避開抗議活動發生的地區，並關注當地媒體的最新消息和交通警告。示威活動會擾亂交通和公共交通。儘管民眾對政府的信任面臨挑戰，但整體政治依然穩定。該國保持民主進程和集會自由。儘管示威活動中很少發生暴力事件，但旅客仍應關注當地媒體並避開抗議地點以防萬一。
應避免的區域
立陶宛沒有特別需要避開的危險區域、貧民窟或高犯罪率地區。維爾紐斯當局每六個月發布一份名單，列出犯罪率較高的俱樂部和夜總會。維爾紐斯的一些街區，包括火車站、瑙金寧凱、卡羅利尼什凱和謝什基凱週邊地區，由於光線不足或有醉酒者出沒，天黑後生活環境較差，但嚴重犯罪仍然罕見。舊城區和日維裡納斯被評為維爾紐斯最安全的居住區。庫爾斯沙嘴被立陶宛和俄羅斯兩國分割，北半部屬於立陶宛，南半部屬於加里寧格勒。徒步穿越庫爾斯沙嘴的遊客應注意，他們最終將抵達俄羅斯領土。與白俄羅斯的邊境過境可能會遇到延誤，安全檢查也會加強。火車站附近的祖庫區和基爾蒂邁等以前的問題地區近年來已顯著改善，街頭犯罪有所減少。整體而言，立陶宛並不像許多其他歐洲國家的首都那樣有集中的危險區域。
