Lithuania and Vilnius
Lithuania
Geographically, Lithuania is a country in Northern Europe. Using the method of gravitational centers, researchers at the National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information in France established that the geographical center of Europe is in fact found in Lithuania.
With its spectrum of shades of green, the freshness of its clean water, and its captivating landscapes, it seems as if the gifts of Lithuania's nature are inexhaustible for its people and visitors. Enjoy them, while protecting and nurturing Lithuania's greatest treasure.
The capital - Vilnius
Today, the Old Town of Vilnius is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe. Openness to a diversity of nations, cultures, religions, and forms of expression was and is the city's calling card. This city's extraordinary spirit catches you, draws you in, and invites you to explore it day and night. The mysterious courtyards of the Old Town and the sculptures that dwell there, the centuries-old architectural details, the waters of the two rivers babbling in the middle of the city, the green parks and garden shade, and the lively streets that never sleep, where strangers become acquaintances and what is foreign becomes your own.
Vilnius University
Vilnius University was founded in 1579 by Jesuits and given a blessing by the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Stephen Bathory. For more than 400 years, students have studied at Vilnius University; for more than 400 years, professors have carried out their research here; and for more than 400 years, the first step ad astra has been taken from here to the stars of science, culture, philology and philosophy.
Today, voices of students from all over the world can be heard amid the university's walls, which are adorned with masterpieces of art and architecture - and it is a place where scientific developments and discoveries are made that startle the world.

Lidziya Lysiankova Graduate from Belarus Choosing Vilnius University was one of the best decisions of my life! I fell in love with the lectures and the professors’ approach to teaching: the studies were very interesting and after one semester, I felt that it was easier to concentrate on them. Moreover, the university staff is very nice and helpful: they are always ready to help you, no matter what kind of problems you have. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere in my group: we had both Lithuanian and international students from all over the world, so I learned a lot about other countries and cultures. And Vilnius is an amazing city to live in: it quickly becomes your home and then you can’t imagine your life without coming back here. I highly recommend to study in VU: it is a place that will change your life!
