Guided tours will be organised for students in the Central Palace of the VU Library, which is still working in authentic 16th-century buildings. Together with all the buildings and courtyards of the University, these spaces form an architectural ensemble of the Old Town of Vilnius, which is visited daily by the members of the university community as well as by tourists from all over the world. VU Library visitors will not remain indifferent to the interiors of the historic halls, their decorations, and extraordinary stories about the life of the Jesuits who founded the University centuries ago.
During the tours, the guides will invite the freshers to the impressive J. Lelewel Reading Room, P. Smuglewicz Hall, and the White Hall. Once upon a time, the latter functioned as an Astronomical Observatory. After climbing the tower located in this hall, it will be possible to admire the views of the city from it.
