Saw in 2009. Don't miss the murals in the bookstore and the ones nearby that were painted surreptiously during Soviet times.

This is one of the oldest universities in Europe. The quiet campus and many hundreds of years of architecture and tradition make it a pleasant and convenient part of a walking tour of old Vilnius.
Be sure to check out the courtyard area by the chapel and the library. There is a small gift shop upstairs, just look for the sign. Some of the items for sale are art works by students.
A very interesting walk through history and through fantastic buildings. Book always a guided tour in your language.
Not only the best university in Lithuania, but the most beautiful old part of all universities.
wander through the interlocking courtyards, check out the church and the gardens and the outdoor art. A nice break and a good place for a break with a coffee and snack
The main campus is in the old town, next to the presidental palace and well worth a visit. The university is steeped in history and do try and do a tour of the buildings.........some of the study rooms for students are absolutely beautiful. A trip up the bell tower is a must as the views across the city are superb...
