Tartu, Estonia skyline: the 43 most iconic buildings and best views in Tartu

Tartu’s town square is the heart of the city, lined with pastel-colored, renovated buildings that reflect its rich history. Cobblestone streets add charm, while statues and playful fountains bring the area to life. The “Kissing Students” fountain stands out as a popular photo spot and symbol of the town’s youthful spirit. It’s a perfect place to stroll, sit on a bench, or relax at a café terrace. We really loved this place! 😍😍😍

It’s a beautiful plat, cool eating place outside, one can walk around, generally not crowded too much. Also ha tourist information centre located here. Kissing fountain is the place to take some pictures. Walking distance from the bus station.

Tricky to review a square unless it's unusual or spectacular. The Town Hall Square is wide and long, with a gentle slope and a pretty fountain in front of the Town Hall. It's cobbled and quite unspoilt. There is a small coffee shop with outdoor tables at the top right, near the fountain, but smokers should note that they don't allow smoking at the tables. There's also a good-sized pub about half-way up the square with reasonably-priced drinks, but it's an Irish Bar and, as an Irishman I try to avoid these when I'm travelling, so I can't review it. Rüütli Tn leads off the square, pretty much between the café and the pub, and has a large selection of restaurants in most price brackets

Must-visit spot in Tartu! There are many restaurants, cafes, and cool architecture. I visited during #Tartu2024, which was beautiful, and many events happened.

Such a lovely cobbled square with lots of cafes.

Town Hall is an amazing place, and the vibe is extraordinary. Lots of nice cafés and restaurants around. One can visit in the evenings to enjoy the surroundings. Some upgradation work is going on as the city has been declared as the cultural capital of Europe, and there are 300+ events lined up in 2024. Town Hall Square is the centre of all tge events and activities.

Amazing center place. Has many activities during the year. It serves as a main passing point with a lot of restaurants, clubs and stores on the side streets. There is also a park and shopping center nearby. It get busy on weekends/party days and it's a beautiful place overall

The Estonian National Museum is a wonderful example of the harmony between tradition, history, and modern architecture. The exhibits are presented in very interesting ways, with engaging formats and solutions that capture your attention. The museum’s spaces are beautiful, creating a pleasant and inspiring experience. There is a café where you can grab a bite – the food was fresh and tasty. We visited with our family and spent about 2.5 hours here – everyone really enjoyed it. Recommended for anyone looking to combine culture with a delightful time together.

A very great and technologically advanced place. The exhibitions are creative and interesting and well-detailed with a lot of informations that don't feel much and dry. Keep in mind, that you will need 2-3 hours here to fully explore the place, so visiting 1 hours before closing is not reccommended!!

An incredible and comprehensive history of Estonia. You could easily spend a couple days here exploring everything in depth. Half price sunday admitting was a nice suprise!

The Estonia National Museum is a stunning destination that seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology to create an immersive and interactive experience. Its extensive collection spans historical artifacts, cultural treasures, and modern innovations, providing a comprehensive journey through Estonia’s rich heritage. One of the museum’s most impressive features is its use of advanced digital technology. Visitors can engage with interactive touch screens, audiovisual displays, and digital guides to explore the context of each exhibit in detail. The museum also offers augmented reality (AR) features, bringing historical objects to life in fascinating ways. Beyond its technological appeal, the museum is thoughtfully designed with a modern and open layout, making it both comfortable and visitor-friendly. It beautifully balances the essence of traditional culture with a futuristic perspective, offering a harmonious blend of the past and the present. With its exceptional collection and innovative approach, the Estonia National Museum is an ideal destination for history enthusiasts, technology lovers, or anyone seeking a remarkable museum experience. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Visiting the Estonian National Museum in Tartu was an unforgettable experience. The architecture alone takes my breath away – bold, modern, and yet deeply rooted in the nation’s history. Inside, the exhibitions tell the story of Estonia with such creativity, depth, and soul that you feel both educated and moved at the same time. This visit has made my love for this remarkable country and its warm, resilient people even stronger. A place where past and present meet so beautifully – I cannot recommend it enough.

We got tickets that are an interactive part of your visit, you can change the info posts to your own language with them, but sadly the big screens rarely worked and many of the games are only in estonian. All in all worth a visit, reserve at least 3h-4h if you want to go through everything.

Very nice natural museum. You can find interactive exhibitions there. It’s very educational, in both English and Estonia language.

The main building of the oldest estonian university is remarkable.

This is the beautiful main building of Estonia's oldest university.

Great university for doing bachelors degree. Personally, I've graduated Business Administration program here. The University has great professors, who are willing to help you anytime, modern equipment, many different faculties all around the city. Current faculty of business is newly constructed innovative building - Delta Center

I am doing my 3rd Masters. Thus far of all the institution I have come across, this is the best higher learning institution

The best university in Estonia. Also great in the way the buildings are structured, classes are easy to find.

Awesome building with a wonderful Museum of Arts inside.

It’s huge, and you can enjoy walking around this university! There’re academic statues!

Its worth one visit and to know the history associated to it if you're a history buff. You don't need more that 20 mins at the spot. But from the ruins, you can walk down to the city sqyluare, have a hot chocolate at Pierre and laze around the river at some cozy restaurants.

Until the early 13th century, one of the strongest fortresses of the pagan Estonians stood on Toomemägi (Cathedral Hill). In 1224, this fortress was conquered and destroyed by the Knights of the Brothers of the Sword, who subsequently built a bishop's castle (which was destroyed by fire in 1667) and a Brick Gothic church on this site. This cathedral, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, was the seat of the Dorpat diocese and one of the largest churches in Eastern Europe. The church was finally completed at the end of the 15th century. Its two massive towers were 66 meters high. In 1525, the Reformation reached Dorpat, and during an iconoclasm on January 10 of that year, the cathedral was severely damaged. In 1558, the Catholic Church officially abandoned the cathedral. Plans by the Catholic Polish rulers were abandoned due to unforeseen circumstances, and the Swedish rulers were uninterested in restoring the church, causing its decline to continue. In 1760, the towers were partially demolished, reaching a height of 22 meters. After the University of Dorpat reopened in 1802, architect Johann Wilhelm Krause was commissioned to build a university library amid the ruins of the cathedral. After the university library moved into new premises in 1981, the University Museum was established in the old library. Ruin or not, the cathedral is and remains impressive!

Great sight to see and refresh yourself in the nature while exploring these ruins. The museum also worth a try if you are there!

Without even visiting museum, were disappointed at evening there was some construction going on for some event, in the upcoming morning there were trucks and dismantling of sort of tent took place. So this is all we were able to see :(

It's a beautiful place for those who love to see what used to be, whst it is and wonde rhow would stand in the years to come. They do ceremonies here, weddings or celebrations. Surrounded by forest and close by to other more beautiful sights.

We visited the Tartu Cathedral as a family and really enjoyed the beautiful architecture and historic atmosphere. It’s a peaceful and fascinating place to explore, and we spent a lovely time learning about its history. What could be improved: It would be helpful to have clearer signs or information panels, so visitors know more about the different areas and history. Some areas could use a little maintenance to make the visit even more comfortable. We really enjoyed our visit! However, because of the small issues mentioned above, we would love to give 4.5 stars, but unfortunately, it’s only possible to rate 4.

Interesting ruins, museum closed on Mondays.

St. John’s Church in Tartu is beautifully renovated, it stands out with its red brick exterior. Inside, you’ll find a peaceful atmosphere and restored medieval details. You can climb the narrow stairs to the tower for views over the old town. It's a must-visit for history and architecture lovers. We loved it 😍 And what a fun lady at the shop! 💃🏼 Ticket only 3€ in July 2025

Recently renovated, 2005, this is a nice church. The main characteristic is the so called 1000 figurines inside the church. Inside you can’t really see them actually because of their position. You can take pictures and access the tower against entrance fees

This is an interesting church in the historical old town of Tartu, which plenty of features that make it unique not only in Estonia, but in the Baltic region and northern Europe. It has been verywell renovated

You can visit the church, but it's not worth it paying the fee and going up 138 stairs steps as the obsertory is not well maintained and the view from up there (through glass) is super ordinary and not interesting as you see in the following photo I took:

Beautiful church, Church where you have to pay for everything: want to take photos, pay, what to climb to the tower, pay, candles, pay...

View from the tower is nice. Stairs are narrow, but there are some resting places on the way.

Another beautiful old estonian lutheran church.

We visited with our family and were absolutely impressed. We’ve been to several museums of this type, but this one deserves a full 5 out of 5. The exhibits engaged everyone – both adults and teenagers. There’s a lot to see and do, so we never got bored. We spent 3.5 hours here, and the time flew by. We could have stayed even longer, but unfortunately had to leave. The museum is enjoyable for children of all ages – even the little ones will find plenty to do. Everything is very interesting and well thought out. The only area for improvement would be providing more visual instructions, such as icons or pictures showing what to do or where to press. There’s also a café on site – we didn’t try it, but it’s great to have the option for a break. I would happily visit again.

Fun & Educational Science Centre in Tartu 🔬✨ The AHHAA Science Centre is an amazing place for both kids and adults! There are so many interactive exhibits, from physics experiments and illusions to biology and technology displays. The planetarium shows are a real highlight, and you can easily spend hours exploring. It’s fun, hands-on, and educational at the same time. A must-visit in Tartu, whether you’re with family or just curious at heart! 🚀🧪🌍

If you're ever in Tartu, the Science Centre AHHAA is a must-visit! This place is not just for science lovers but for everyone, whether you're an adult or visiting with family, it offers something for everyone. The museum features interactive exhibits that make learning fun. From physics to nature, the hands-on displays are perfect for curious minds of all ages. The children will love the engaging activities, while adults will appreciate the depth of information and unique experiences on offer. A highlight for many is the planetarium, which offers breathtaking shows about the universe, giving visitors an unforgettable cosmic experience. But that's not all; there are live science shows that bring experiments to life, making them both entertaining and educational. The museum’s family-friendly atmosphere ensures that it's a perfect place for a day out. You’ll find cafes and comfortable seating, so you can relax and enjoy the exhibits without a rush. Highly recommend this place to anyone in Tartu, young or old!

Nice place for kids and adults, time runs fat there, great place to Explore physics and physical rules🤟

This is a fantastic place to visit with your children. Everyone will find something interesting and amazing here. We go there every year and will do again!It’s so great to see how,as children grow up, their understanding of things changes each time. At the planetarium,we always choose one of the films that corresponds to the children’s interests at that moment. Amazing!

Really fun and educational. Not just for kids but for grow ups too. Some reviews already mentioned the interactive elements in the centre and the bike is one not to miss! Easily spend a day if you are interested in the science behind the fun. Highly recommended.

We visited the AHHAA Science Centre as a family of three — parents and a child — and absolutely loved it! It’s quite affordable, and we spent the whole day there until sunset. There are so many fascinating things to see and try — it’s a perfect place for both kids and adults to explore and have fun together. What could be improved: The big bicycle on top is exciting but also a bit scary when you stop — it feels like you might roll away! It would be perfect if there were staff members on both sides to help and make guests feel safer. In the experiment area, the ventilation could be better — sometimes it’s a bit hard to breathe after many people have been doing experiments. The car simulator is amazing, but the queue is very long. It would be great to either add one more simulator or introduce a timed system with the wristbands — for example, each person gets 5 minutes to play, then a 10-minute cooldown before using it again. Even with these small suggestions, it’s still a fantastic science centre — highly recommended for everyone!

Great place for visit if you have children. There is a playground room where you can play a lot of games and get some coffee.

What a cute place! The collection is big, and there is a special game room for kids, looked very attractive! 🫶🏼

An amazing 30 years old Toy Museum with so interesting and varied collections, museographic excellence and the most warm thus professional team.The exhibitions are at the same time educational and amuzing and everybody is feeling more than welcome to discover every little corner of the Museum, with olenty tangible exhibits or games. The historical building itself is like a doll house,making you feel like entering the magic world of your childhood. *Don't forget to visit the playroom* **If you're planning to visit in 2024,you have to see the temporary exhibition for sure!!!!** (-to the super museum team: keep up the hard and fresh work!!Congratulations and thank you for hosting us!!Toy Museum is the best landmark for TARTU!!*GO, TARTU2024 ECoC!!*)

I really enjoyed this museum, especially my son. Museum is quite big, so it is not like for 5 minutes visit. Two floors, many rooms with very different toys. It was very nice to see old toys from 90th, so nastolgic. What I really liked that there are many places for playing also, and a small but cosy food court with an drink and food machines. Even once you should visit this place if you stay in Tartu with your kids. The only complaint is about parking, it was quite hard to find free parking there, because I'm not local and didn't manage how to pay for parking, as there are no parking payment machines.

Went there with two small boys and had a ton of fun. The temporary exhibition was about teddy bears. Recognized a lot of them. The permanent one had me walking through memory lane. A ton of things were straight out of the 1980s, from when I was playing. Add an outdoor carousel as a cherry on top of the cake and there is the perfect recipe.

Based on first assumption you probably think this is something just for kids but not only. For me as an adult I found there many items from my childhood bringing back many nostalgic memories. Also playground for smaller kids and hands on workshop for bit bigger ones. Really liked the place and recommend to visit it.

Very interesting time spending.

It’s a very small museum and you feel a bit like in a art school when you were a kid. Id say - visit with kids, they will love a tiny Egyptian room

Exciting place for entertaining your kids with basic scientific facts such as electricity experiments, some of them were not functional though, energy transfer etc. Plus museum. The library is renovated so we could not enjoyed the place. Last floor is not necessary recommended for kids as it is all about skeletons and related

A bit of a walk to the start, but I loved the place. I spent good 5min staring and this one specific statue. Quiet, beautiful. Worth it, if you appreciate art

It wasn't particularly interesting - bunch of reproductions of famous statues from around the world, some local paintings. The highlight were the 2 mummies. The DNA related installation with the bibles was also quite interesting. Was included into combined ticket from the University of Tartu Museum

There was 2 interesting exhibition. 1. Mummy chamber 2. Death mask Rest of museum, i would say, was okey.

A fantastic museum! A lot of various exhibits, you can find pieces of art from different ages. Faces of death exhibition is truly fascinating, the video stories grab your attention. And it's really interesting to see Egyptian mummies in Estonia as a part of a different exhibition. Definitely recommend!

Nice place to get know some historical aspect of University of Tartu from their art culture

Very nice and impressive small museum. The history memory is well preserved in Estonia, as a Chinese I really appreciate that.

A fascinating (but dark) exploration of the history of the Russian occupation of Estonia. The museum is self paced and self guided. It is great for any history buffs but not ideal for children. There is a small gift shop and a clean toilet on site. Tickets were seven Euros per adult.

I've been to a similar one in Riga and there was a guided tour. With a guide you could definitely get more out of the place. There were texts in many languages which was a big plus. The museum itself is quite small. I recommend taking a guided tour if possible.

Another gem for historians to get insight into the cruelty of the Russian World. In an unassuming grey building lives were torn apart and the beginning of the end for many became reality. A great exhibition about the Forrest Brothers with the contents of unintended time capsule presented to give insight into the last moments of freedom fighters caching their belongings. Never forget the cruelty of occupation.

Such an interesting piece of history that’s been preserved. It’s a heavy experience, not something that’s pleasant to learn about but important to understand and really well done. It’s scary to think about what has gone on in these rooms, but it’s nice that they’re now being used in an educational way. The exhibits are really well done.

30 minutes enough. Overall, it's good place to visit if you are interested in history and ofc soviets. It would be nice if there are more to discover. Museum may have interesting exhibition in the future. For now, it was about '' Russia - Georgia War 2008'' , the topic itself is interesting to me but the quality of exhibition was not good and it was only in Estonian

This place is small, but the building still remains as original. It was a strong message just seeing the aisle and doors for prisoners' room and the torturing chair. It's a worth place to understand the modern Estonian history as well

A tasteful repurposing of an old building. Slightly underwhelming for adults but a great place to enjoy with kids. The library section is outstanding and the function floor was being prepared for a wedding.

Very good place, especially for young children, since there are a lot of interactive and interesting parts of the exhibition. Everything is informative and interesting. You can well-spend at least 2 hours here.

Great interactive place, which would also be extremely fun for the children. And it's located in a reconstructed part of an astoundingly beautiful ruins, which you must also explore and visit the tower. And the old lift in the museum is a throwback experience on its own

Cool museum, very interactive, should be interesting to kids as well.

This museum was a surprise discovery for our family during a drizzle October afternoon in Tartu. The various exhibitions are beautifully presented and it's clear that they've been put together with care. The love of science seeps through in every nook of every room.

Good and interesting museum. Building is old but inside it’s very fresh and beautiful. There are several places for kids activities. Tickets are cheap. Together with tower visit it’s 7 eur/person. Staff is very kind and helpful. At the entrance they explained where to start and helped to get into elevator. An old elevator was very interesting for our son. Expositions are nice, we most of all liked a science library in 5th floor.

So glad we went here. The University is the heart and soul of the city and this well presented museum gave great insight into its history. Also includes trip up cathedral tower to see the skyline

The Natural History Museum of Tartu University, located in Tartu, is very interesting with its extensive exposition. The museum has dozens of exhibits related to natural history, from various stones to different animal skeletons. The museum is free for students of the University of Tartu, but it is paid for visitors from other countries.

We visited this please on weekend and it was almost empty, just couple of visitors. Museum is located in 3rd floor and starts with rocks and meteors. There are several interactive stands with interesting quiz game, earth history and etc. Our son liked all collection of stones/meteors/minerals, he called it “stone age”. Personal was really kind and did some suggestions. We spend around 1 hour there.

If you are not the local one - don't hesitate to visit this museum. So much to see and learn. Carefully created collections starting from minerals to big mammals, ancient organisms, worms, animals, some real animals, plants, worms etc. All collections are seperated by groups and are easy to watch and understand. Free parking outside for 90 minutes.

Very friendly and interesting museum which shows turbulent history of Estonia and links of university with the region.

Great place to see. Some funny taxidermy here and there, but generally filled with loads of interesting stuff and stories. The highlight for me was the 13 rat strong Rat King - never thought I'd see one in real life!

A really great museum! Unbelievable number of exhibits, I was overwhelmed! Super clean, enough measures against Covid. Great, hygienic toilets, a very friendly lady at the reception. To be recommended without reservation! (ps: the turtles and the chameleon ran out of water)

Very interesting, liked adults and kids. Reccommend to visit

Definitely worth the visit, had tons of fun. We were able to make a piece of our own paper and then stamp a postcard each.

Interesting way of visiting a museum, as the ticket includes an excursion with interesting explanations of printing and paper history. Another interesting thing is that many of the machines from the exhibition still work and the staff gives opportunity to make your own postcards and paper. And also the local caretaker-cat Ruby, he is just amazing. The best museum experience lately. Excursions in estonian and english. Shortly: interactive museum with free tours, 100% recommended for locals and tourists.

A place to visit for sure if you are interested in books and printing, or you have kids along. Access is ONLY granted with a guide who tells about how to make paper, how the printing developed and how the books are put together.

Absolutely fascinating tour into the world of letterpresses and paper making! Personnel passion to the subject really shows and they were super friendly. They only give guided tours and for a good reason: machinery is fully functional and they give live demos of those. You get to make your own paper and press your very own postcard. Kids (7 and 5 year old) were absolutely mesmerized by everything. Absolutely recommend this for everyone!

Interesting and quite large museum about printing history. You can see impressive amount of printing and bookmaking machinery. Museum visitors get guided tour for the ticket, where full process of printing is explained from paper making till book binding. Also all printing and binding mashinery are explained during the tour. You get to see the machines from really clouse. The tour lasts about an hour. Museum offeres several cool printing workshops. For most workshops you need to preorder by contacting Typa museum. The workshops are for various skill level, from pre-school till grownups. Museum has little cute souvenir shop at front desk. You can buy printed poducts and some candy there mainly.

Very cool museum- really impressive collection of old letterpress machines and other equipment, that works! Choice of different old fonts used in newspapers- for example astrological or chess! Last one reminded old soviet times with chess exercises on the last page. You can try paper making or postcard pressing or some other workshops 👍♟📨

Very recommend museum to visit. Does not matter adult or child. You will have guided tour. During the tour you will learn a lot of very interesting information, do with your hands some things. Later if you want can do some master classes.

Went to the Vegan Market today. Brought cheese from Helene Delicaces

Former factory courtyard turned into culture and restaurant space. Perfect place for going out in the evening.

WOW... What a cool place to drop into for a feed. Such a cool an chill place to hang out. Accidental find. Stayed for lunch. Impressed. Community lucky to have!

Great place to eat and drink different kinds of things. Good place to come to work, study or hang out with friends (or during events.. make some!). Very hipster and some things can be a bit pricey but it's definitely worth a try.

Great cultural centre in Tartu, couldn't help always thinking it has a artsy-hippish-mini-Telliskivi vibe to it. There are a lot of stores and a lot to do here, from food to entertainment to pop-up stores. Something for all family members.

Kolm tilli is a great restaurant. This is an old bomb manufacturing facility

Super chill and positive vibes, great restaurants and bars. It reminds me Telliskivi Loomelinnak in Tallinn. Visited Peninuki bar and Kolm Tilli restaurant - both were great. Especially, I would recommend Peninuki bar - this atmosphere, people and cocktails were so amazing.

Nice park, in summer everything is green. There is a small cafe and playground for the children as well.

Nice park to walk around, have a coffee and sew the church ruins.

When the university was finally reopened at the beginning of the 19th century, Emperor Alexander I took possession of Toomemäe University and a park and university buildings were built there. The anatomical rotund was the first to be completed, and soon the main building of the university, as well as the observatory. A university library was built on the ruins of a powerful medieval cathedral. A romantic stone hill - Musumägi - was built in the park and the former sand quarry - Kassitoome - was landscaped. There are many sculptures on Toomemäe (KE von Baer, ​​N. Pirogov, Fr. R. Faehlmann, Fr. GW Struve, KJ Peterson and others) and buildings of architectural value: former Dome Church (now UT History Museum), Observatory, Old Anatomical, Supreme Court, English - and the Devil's Bridge.

Toomemägi (Toome Hill) is place where you can feel the spirit of Tartu. Definetely one of the places people like to walk through different seasons - snowy winter, green spring and summer and of course colorful autumn. It is much more than just a park - every corner you meet with history - statues for famous people, Old Observatory and also you can find there old ruins of Toomkirik and also other side is museum.

Most beautiful place in Center Tartu

Very small nice museum. Need to try grains. Very interesting tastes. Also to play game with bottle opening. With ticket you will get one free drink in very nice bar.

I went here tonight as part of the Estonian museum night, the entry fee was €1 and the place was packed. I had to wait for 50 minutes to get inside, at some point I thought they might be giving away some drinks for free, but no, people were all very interested in going here. Having been to multiple beer museums, I had a high expectation. The experience part was lacking, I was missing being able to try different beers and learn more about the current process, it was heavily focused on history. There was beer available, but at a fee, which were the same ones I can get in the supermarket. Kudos to them for having all the information available in English, it made everything easy to follow and understand. Would I got here again, probably not. Besides the experience part lacking. I found that it was heavily focused on upselling. In the museum downstairs by selling different beers and again in the giftshop and bar, not to forget the stand near the insanely long queue.

Get to know how beer in Tartu is made. The history and process. Nice and friendly gift shop.

I had so much fun in this place! Costs 10€ to get in and includes a little beer tasting at the end. It’s been recently renovated and it was su interactive and interesting to explore around and see the old machinery, the history of beer and the history of this particular brand. They had also the oldest preserved beer in the world recovered from a shipwreck, and the whole thing you do it underground in the old factory. The beer tasting gives you 4 different kinds of beer at the end and even it being just a tasting they had plenty of beer to enjoy! Overall would definitely recommend.

Surprisingly long and thorough exhibition. Nice to cap the experience with an included drink. The gift shop / outlet has a nice selection of discounted drinks and some souvenirs.

A. Le Coq Beer Museum has gone trough a full renovation process and is now called experience centre Beer World. A visit to the Beer World is an amazing trip through time, which takes you back more than 12,000 years to the roots of beer culture. During the exciting and interactive journey, you can enjoy authentic experiences, aromas and tastes, and listen to fascinating legends and memories. You will gain new knowledge of beer history and beer types, see interesting equipment and one of the oldest preserved beers in the world. The journey introduces the proud history of A. Le Coq that dates back more than 200 years alongside the history of beer city Tartu. During your visit, you will also learn how beer was made in the past and how it is brewed today.

I am a simple human who enjoys the taste of beer. One of my favourite beers in fact is Alexander, manufactured by A.leCoq. A few weeks ago a friend of mine showed me a picture of this cap(it was an Alexander beer cap). I was excited to the moon and back, the cap looked amazing good material and everything . So i asked her where she saw this amazing article of clothing. She replied that she had seen it in the gift shop at the beer museum. So i got fixed on visting the establishment. BUT!! when arriving at aforementioned place I was baffled. The fine cap i had seen a few weeks ago had been replaced by some plastic abomination. This fact made me not want to visit the rest of the museum and I left momentarily.

Difficult to find seat markings, otherwise nice!

Fantastic theatre building and concert hall. Interesting performances, plays etc. The staff is friendly and extremely professional. I always try to get tickets. It IS worth visiting, your time and attention.

One the few classical venues of Estonia. Highly recommended for theater and opera lovers.

Beautiful place. In the concert hall it gets a bit too crowded in the hallways before the concert and the seating at the balcony is a bit confusing. Other than that - beautiful place, comfortable seats and amazing shows :)

Travelled here with school, was fun. The staff are friendly and always smiling, were open to answer in English if we didnt know Estonian Has a wc, comfortable

Excellent place to spend your evening! You can still go for a beer afterwards:)l

I like this concert hall very much. I saw always very high quality performances here. The last time Emmanuel Tjknavorian was performing Sibelius with the Estonian State Symphonic Orchestra. It is comfortable there. Maybe the floor could be improved. It makes lot of sound. There is a bar there.

We reserved a table for 2 for New Year's Eve. We had very high hopes for this restaurant given its stellar reputation, but our experience fell a bit short of expectations and to be honest, we are very dissapointed. While the presentation of the dishes was creative, the flavors didn’t quite come together for us, no balance and mix of too many different products. The portion sizes were also quite small, leaving us wanting more, especially given the high price point. The service, while attentive, could have been a touch warmer, they were in rush. One notable detail was the garnish on the dishes—stalks of greens instead of tender leaves, which felt like a missed opportunity. The duck was especially disappointing, as one portion was overcooked while another was underdone, which made for an inconsistent experience. We can see why others might enjoy this place, but it didn’t align with our tastes and expectations at all.

They played Italian music when we visited, and Antonius is a Roman name, but the cuisine is not Italian. I would describe the food as global-influenced "New Baltic" (and that probably sounds pretentious). The highlight was the scallop appetizer, but everything was tasty -- the herring appetizer, the lamb, and the sea bass. Keep in mind that the mains aren't much bigger than the appetizers.

We visited at 6:15 on Thursday, the restaurant was empty except for another table of 6. Unfortunately I cannot recommend it. In a 2.5 hour meal we spend 2 hours not eating, but waiting for the next course, particularly irksome for the appetizers - we happened to be hungry. The food itself was delicious and sophisticated, worthy of “haute” , except that my lamb entree was served practically cold, adding insult to the prolonged wait injury. This wait is excessive even for a slow dining establishment. If the kitchen is short staffed and cannot cook promptly we should not have been admitted.

Breakfast is from their à la carte menu, supported by small buffet to get you fulfilled. Would have expected a better coffee ☕️ They have takeaway station thou.

At the last moment we decided to book a table at this restaurant and that was the best choice for the evening. The place was not crowded and we took tasting menus which were great. The atmosphere and service were top notch. Highly suggest this place for cosy evening and delicious food.

Excellent food, even the daily specials are of utmost quality.

Food: Amazing. The price, their presentation, taste, everything and everything was just perfect. I had duck and a plate for two, best 1 hour of my life. Place: Place is nice since it belongs to the hotel, they have a nice terrace, can be a little cold tho so be prepared. Service: Service wasn’t bad, quite fast and timely but the table had bread crumbs on it when we were seated. The waitress was Estonian, thus she didn’t speak English much but seemed she could speak English but it is okay. But I was with an Estonian and all the time the waitress was addressing him, talking to him, asking to him, thanking to him. But she seemed very nice and gentle but “thank you” isn’t a very complicated English word to learn if I can thank in Estonian…

Attentive waiting staff, even with some large parties in the restaurant. Good, delicious food. Well cooked and presented. Was there during cocktail week, and had 3 great cocktails with the meal. Highly recommend the Lavender Sour if it's on the menu again. Cost was less than expected for 3 courses and 3 cocktails. And a great treat for during my travels

Humal in Tartu is a fantastic spot for steak lovers! The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Paired with their wide selection of craft beers, it made for an excellent meal. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff is knowledgeable about both the food and drinks. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great steak and beer experience in Tartu!

Against my usual suspicion of hotel restaurants, the name of this place “Hops” attracted attention. A large drinks menu with some “irrelevant” stuff on tap, but the highlight is eight local beers from Anderson and Puhaste in cans. The tap rooms are nearby, but not often open and definitely don’t have the excellent food options here. Friendly staff and a nice view of the lively streets outside. A great place to start an evening of Tartu craft beer.

It was perfect in every way. Super attentive service, very kind attention to our kids, wonderful food with original touches, moderate prices... THANK YOU!

Lamb burger was mediocre. Although three others in my table said they liked it. Pedron peppers, cheese balls and ribs were awesome and staff was helpful. Food was more like presentation first and quality second. Good selection of beers both craft and basic

Great restaurant with nice view! Salty food is exellent!! But.. desserts were a bit boring, specialy tiramisu. Not the cheapest, but once to have a good experience ot is woth to go.

Got the spicy chicken wings as appetiser. For main we got sea bream and the chicken burger. All very very delicious. This place is a bit pricey though, but the taste explains it. Overall I enjoyed it quite a lot!

(Translated by Google) Maybe not quite a museum in the traditional sense, but more of a small exhibition about Baer. The house is nice and our visit was made pleasant by the man who was at work and introduced us to the exhibition. (Original) Võib-olla mitte päris muuseum traditsioonilises mõttes, vaid rohkem väike näitus Baerist. Maja on kena ja meie külastuse muutis meeldivaks meesterahvas, kes tööl oli ja meile näitust tutvustas.

Nice little local museum, devoted to a good Estonian writer not much known or translated elsewhere but quite central for Estonian identity. It's not very well situated or accessible by car, and the amount of information available in other languages besides Estonian is limited. Yet they like to organize little events - meetings with writers, small celebrations, temporary exhibitions - which might still be worth visiting, whatever language you might speak.

Most Tartu people drive by it every day but have not been there, should take the time

Books...

Defintely a good place to find fresh and local food: fish, meat, vegetables, cheese, bakery etc. When you are new in Tartu or visiting Estonia, go check out! But just in case take cash with you because not all sellers accept card payment. Check out different sellers as you may find some of the better prices in specific selling points.

Good food for good prices. They also sell snacks and pastries for a good deal!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Very important to go there! If you want to buy real local product!! Go there Frites, veggies, fish, meat and also very little small producers they sell there stuff there. Nice chats, good products.

Good closed market place where to find fresh local fish and meat. There's also a nice selection of locally smoked fish and cured meats. Also veggies are available, in general a much more reliable place and with more fair prices and better quality than the close open market. A clear recommendation when in Tartu and looking for quality meat and fish shopping.

Look for the giant metal pig! Great place, I never would have guessed what was inside. Interesting place to shop for food. Go through the doors behind the pig.

If you love pork, you can find the cheapest cuts here. Wide variety of fruits and vegetables from local farmers

Nice meat prices and good selection. Best place in Tartu to buy fish. Vegetables rather cheaper in supermarkets though.

Peaceful and very well-kept park. It has a lot of tributes to Estonian personalities.

Great place to learn about some of the fascinating information and early history of Tartu city with some relaxing places to walk and see the beauty of nature in the local park. One of the highest places to look over this beautiful city !! I really enjoy my stroll up the hill and I know you will too. Check it out !!

Peaceful place, beautiful view from the top of the hill. A cafe with good coffee and biscuits 👍

Great park with great views. My first experience of off-road longboarding was here (picture included), had great fun. After exploring this park a little bit more, I saw an off-road cycling opportunity too. Outdoor pingpong table available as well. Definitely worth checking out for travellers: two bridges - Angel's and Devil's, if I remember it right, old castle-like building and more. In case you are worried, nothing was broken after that fall.

The park was awesome in this Christmas evening. It was like we were in a magic or in some kind tale. The lights and shadows are so beautiful. Snow gives another wonderful dimension to this magic. There are many places for skiing and sliding with kelks. It would be nice to take some warm drink with you.

Nice park around the museum.

Biggest and best park in Tartu

Very good library, very good reading room. Quiet, light and comfy.

Great place to study, really good atmosphere!🤩

Unusable parking. Bikes fall down. Make the parking according to the best practices.

Tartu University Library is an academic library in Tartu, Estonia. An ideal place for conference presentations and poster presentation with a wonderful ambiance.

Very kind stuff even when I showed up with my luggage they were very welcoming to see me and help. Also when I wanted a room to have a meeting online they arranged it very fast 😊😊😊😊one of my favourite places in Tartu:)

I have not had a reason to lend books from the main building for a few years now. The last time I visited was before the renovation. But now, with it all being fresh and new, it is a very nice place to be. And the lending itself is quite convenient due to self-service stations.

Peaceful quiet place for reading.

Many floors. Reasonable price. Gym on the top floor is a bit small. No running treadmills though

the price is very good for students, but it could be a bit more organized

Nice and clean. Has a big running hall. Gym is rather small and not very well ventilated.

Good sporting hall with basketball field and rowing facility.

Very good place to go for sport activities.

Biggest inside track and field stadium in Tartu.

Great sports center

I really liked the place. It had a nice atmosphere. What I didn't like was how the many animals were held, with not enough space at all or an imitation of their natural habitat. Also you should never have chinchillas on their one. I really hope they change that. Otherwise a great place for educating children.

Nice place, here you can be more close to nature

Good educational place for children and not only

Beautiful place with friendly people!

A good place for children.

Great place and great people!
