VILNIUS OLD TOWN – A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE

Between the 12th and 18th century Vilnius, political centre of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, had a great impact on the cultural and architectural development of Eastern Europe. Despite all invasions and partial destructions the city has preserved an impressive complex of buildings of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical periods, as well as medieval buildings and natural resources. All of that contributed to the inscription of the historic city centre in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994.During the tour you will visit one of the oldest universities in Western Europe, Vilnius University.
