Discover Tartu by Hire Car
While the capital Tallinn is only home to teacher training, Tartu is the traditional university city of the Republic of Estonia.
Located on both sides of the Ema River, Tartu is considered the oldest city in Estonia.
Sights in Tartu
When you first walk through the city centre, you will notice a special monument by the city hall; Tartu is one of the few cities to have a monument to an unknown pair of lovers.
Museum lovers will find several lesser-known but still very interesting museums in Tartu, in addition to the well-known National Museum. First and foremost are the Textile Museum and the Sports Museum. While the former informs about the history of textile processing in Estonia, the latter shows the importance of sports as well as the connection between sports, politics and culture.
Trips around Tartu
It makes sense to hire car when staying in Tartu, as the surrounding area invites you to make excursions. On the one hand, an excursion to the Estonian-Russian border is a good idea; on the other hand, holidaymakers are advised to take a day trip to Tallinn during their holiday in Tartu. There, the Baltic Sea and the flair of the capital will entice you.
Many Estonians spend the weekend in the Estonian Lake District. Countless lakes as well as an extensive forest landscape invite you to take a walk. Swimming is possible in most lakes; often there is a sauna near the water.
When choosing a place to eat, there is a choice of restaurants serving typical Estonian dishes as well as numerous internationally oriented eateries. Those who get involved with Estonian cuisine will experience very tasty and filling meals.
