THINGS TO DO
The things worth doing in Tartu, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Tartu skyline and bridge reflected in the Emajogi river at twilight
Upside Down House
A fully inverted house on Roosi street. Silly, photogenic, and about half an hour of your day.
University of Tartu Museum
In the cathedral ruins on the hill: the white hall, the student lock-up and a tower walk over town.
Botanical Garden
A two-century-old university garden by the river, whose palm houses are a genuine refuge in winter.
TYPA print and paper centre
A working letterpress and papermaking museum in an old boot factory, with hands-on workshops.
Emajõgi riverbank
The river path and summer boats are where the city relaxes; in winter the same bank is a ski trail.
