Vilnius University

Vilnius has the oldest University in Eastern Europe. Opened in 1579, for more than 400 years it was a source of enlightenment, science and culture. Full of original comfortable courtyards, arched corridors and decorations, the University complex takes up big space in the Old Town. The University library contains the richest collection of books and manuscripts (from the 13th to the 16th century) in Eastern Europe.
