The Labyrinths of Vilnius University

At the end of the XVIth century, a new dynamic began to take shape in Vilnius. The city life that was dominated by the established merchant and artisan class was enhanced with politics of the academia. And that shift can only be attributed to having an actual university built in Vilnius.

Today, Vilnius is a pound home to the oldest university in North – Eastern Europe.The buildings and inner courtyards of the old university form a united, spectacular and unique architectural ensemble of the Old Town of Vilnius, which we invite you to explore with us!
