The Best Sight in Lithuania

Founded by the Jesuits in the 16th century, Vilnius University is one of the oldest universities in Europe. Its campus consists of 13 courtyards and 13 buildings. Highlights include the hall of frescoes, dating from the 1980s, which is based on a traditional poem; the library; a beautiful bookshop; and the Gothic-style Church of Sts. Johns, which has one of the largest organs in Lithuania and whose bell tower is one of the tallest structures in Old Town. Guided tours of the campus can be booked in advance.
