Tartu

Tartu is a charming town filled with students, intellectuals, and creatives that evokes fond memories of youth for many who once explored the city on a bicycle during their student days.

Home to one of Northern Europe’s most ancient universities, Tartu boasts many attractions including the Estonian National Museum and a lively nightlife scene. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by a statue of kissing students in a large Classicist town square surrounded by museums, cafes, and a vast park built around a hill. With most sights, restaurants, and nightlife concentrated in a few parallel streets, Tartu is a compact town. As the second largest city in Estonia and a hub for creative and scientific culture, there is always something to see and do, from theatre performances to concerts and festivals.
