Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is a vibrant, compact, green city that blends old and new. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages. The year 1323, when Grand Duke Gediminas invited European merchants to his new capital, is generally considered the year Vilnius was founded.
Vilnius has always been a multilingual and multicultural city, known for its rich history, unique architecture, friendly atmosphere, and growing number of visitors and international students.

When visiting Vilnius, a trip to the Old Town is a must. It is the historic centre of the city and one of the largest old towns in Eastern Europe. The area is rich in valuable historical and cultural heritage. Due to its uniqueness, the Old Town of Vilnius was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994.
The Lithuanian capital is also famous for its commercial fairs and exhibitions.
