Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Tartu is an eastern Estonian city famous for its highly prestigious, 17th-century University of Tartu. The university is the city’s beating heart with the lively atmosphere students always create, but you can also see the old town with the university’s beautiful main building in neoclassical style, and the vibrant Town Hall Square, famous for the Kissing Students fountain and a range of fun and quirky cafes. Nearby is the modern Science Centre with a 4D cinema and a range of hands-on exhibits. The hilltop Toomemägi Park above the city is home to the ruins of the Tartu Cathedral, with two restored towers and viewing platforms offering a view of the entire city. Tartu has several wonderful museums and a rich nightlife. Although the second largest Estonian town, Tarty is fairly compact and easily explored on foot or on a bike.
