Tartu is certainly a fun and fascinating city, but it’s also the centre of Tartu County and a launching point for travel to other parts of Southern Estonia. There are quite a few interesting things to do in this part of the country. Here are some things you might want to check out if you have a bit of time to spare and your own set of wheels ...and if what you read here inspires you to rent a car, you’ll find a couple options for doing that listed our 'Getting Around' section. We strongly recommend getting a good map or GPS before you leave the city, as rural road markings sometimes confuse even the locals!
