Tartu is Estonia’s second largest city and also the oldest one in the Baltic States – first mentioned in 1030. Tartu has always been the intellectual capital of Estonia. For the visitor, there are plenty of museums and galleries to visit, but the first destinations should probably be the cobbled streets of Old Town and the paths and bridges of Toome Hill - a good place to see the spectrum of reds and browns once autumn hits. Theatre performances, concerts, festivals, conferences happen all year round. Tartu is also home to more than 20 museums.
