Why visit Tartu?

Tartu is Estonia's second city and its intellectual capital, home to the University of Tartu, founded in 1632 and one of the oldest in Northern Europe. Students give the compact city a youthful, relaxed feel, and Tartu was a European Capital of Culture in 2024.

Town Hall Square, with its sloping pink Town Hall and the Kissing Students fountain, opens onto the Emajõgi river. Behind it rises Toome Hill, a park holding the ruins of Tartu Cathedral and the university's history museum. See the university's classical main building, St John's Church with its hundreds of terracotta figures, and the leaning Art Museum building. The Estonian National Museum, in a striking modern building on an old airfield, is the country's best introduction to its history. Tartu is also known for its street art and the riverside Aparaaditehas creative quarter. Lake Peipus and the Old Believers' villages are within easy reach for a day trip.
