One of the oldest Universities in Europe and home of many notorious people
Much overpriced with 10,-. In fact there is not much to see. You can see several teaching rooms which are not special at all. Hardly any artefacts of, or exposition on the history of the museum. A nice coffered ceiling, a baroque chapel. That in fact is all. Go to the cathedral and you see much more, much more interesting, and for almost half of the price.
It's beautiful and very old, yes, but it's not exactly what I think of when I hear tourist attraction. It was a very brief sight to see, at it's exactly what you'd expect a university to be...just old. Not saying it was bad, it's just not something I'd recommended to a friend to spend their time on.
Some may say that this university is overpriced for 10 Euro. In my opinion, it is totally worth the price. Where else can I find such a beautiful medieval university which is so well preserved? As there was a shower on that day, tourists were scarce so we could enjoy the campus as much as we want. With the audioguide, you can walk along different areas of the university and check out its function hundreds of years ago. Imagining how students listening to the lectures in the wooden built lecture hall (without the powerpoints and speakers) and the inauguration ceremony in the hall is itself a breathtaking experience. The 'finding the frog' game suggested by the university also gave us a lot of fun as we did spend considerable amount of time searching them on the incredibly complicated sculpture at the entrance. And the joy of finding it (in the answer sheet of the university shop) makes it more delightful. Their university shop sells the real deal with delicate laser cut cards and addictive alphabet stamps based on their canon and harry porter like leather bags, computer cases and stationery.
