Tartu In Your Pocket

Tartu is the City of Good Thoughts and there are plenty of good thoughts for everyone visiting Estonia’s second largest city and former Hanseatic town. If you’ve never been to Tartu before, you’re in for a real treat. There’s a scenic river meandering its way through the city, numerous bridges - some old, some new,
The University of Tartu, conceived in 1632, some wonderful architecture and of course the Kissing Students fountain - a relatively new addition to this ancient city and now a popular symbol of Tartu - one that has easily inspired over ten thousand lingering kisses. These are just a few of the things that make Tartu special.

Of course, visiting a city is not only about seeing all of the sights, we would encourage you to truly get to know Tartu - meet the people, eat, drink and laugh with them and by all means attend
some of the cultural events that are taking place while you’re here. We put together a pretty good list of upcoming events and you can check it out on page 9. New events are popping up all the time though, so you might want to visit kultuuriaken.tartu.ee while you’re in town to make sure you don’t miss a beat. This time around we’ve also put together a small feature on the
recently opened AHHAA Science Centre, this state-of-the-art, interactive centre is truly fun for the whole family. You can read all about it on page 13.

Always remember though that this is just a guide, we try our best to provide as accurate information as possible by print time. We write about our experiences and also the experiences of our readers, we can’t guarantee that your encounters at various establishments will be the same as we had when we visited, but we welcome your feedback. You can write to us on Facebook or send an e-mail to the editor at: nsi @ inyourpocket.com.
