Vilnius has always been a multilingual and multicultural city with its rich history, unique architecture, friendly atmosphere and growing number of visitors and international students.
The modern culture of Vilnius fully reflects the diversity of city life offering evenings of classical and jazz music, opera, ballet, modern dance performances and theatre performances in several theatres of Vilnius. There are art galleries and a modern art centre where it is possible to get to know the works of Lithuanian and foreign artists. Vilnius is famous for its old beautiful churches also.
When you are in Vilnius it’s a must to visit the Old Town. It is the historical centre of Vilnius and it is one of the largest in Eastern Europe.
