About City

Vilnius is the capital of the Republic of Lithuania and the largest administrative centre in Lithuania with all major political, economic, social and cultural centres. It’s the largest city in the country.

The Old Town, historical centre of Vilnius, is one of the largest in Eastern Europe (360 ha). The most valuable historic and cultural heritage is concentrated here. The buildings in the old town – there are about 1.5 thousand of them – were built in a number of different centuries, therefore, it is a mixture of all European architectural styles. Although Vilnius is often called a baroque city, here you will find some buildings of gothic, renaissance and other styles. The main sights of the city are the Gediminas Castle and the Cathedral Square, symbols of the capital. Their combination is also a gateway to the historic centre of the capital. Because of its uniqueness, the Old Town of Vilnius was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Vilnius has been rapidly transformed, and the town has emerged as a modern European city. Many of its older buildings have been renovated, and a business and commercial area is being developed into the New City Centre, expected to become the city's main administrative and business district on the north side of the Neris river. Vilnius was selected as a 2009 European Capital of Culture.

Clubs recommended by Study4u

Woo

An industrial style basement club aimed at a primarily young, student crowd who consider themselves alternative to varying degrees of success. The evenings here are manifold, and include everything from live jazz to DJs pumping out a plethora of noise from techno to funk. The recommended kitchen churns out a fine range of sandwiches, burgers and Asian dishes.

Pacha

The two-cherry Pacha chain of Ibiza clones is represented in Vilnius with this 1,200-capacity, eight-bar sensation, decorated in the style of a bank robber’s Mediterranean villa and, depending on the word on the street, is either overflowing or somewhat sadly deflated. If your idea of a night out is clubbing, hedonist style as perfected by the good people of the Spanish islands, Pacha is the place to come.
