Hostel Tartu

Tartu is the second-largest city in Estonia, after the capital, Tallinn. Tartu has a population of 97,304, and is the seventh most-populous city in the Baltics. It is around 186 kilometres southeast of Tallinn and 245 kilometres northeast of Riga, Latvia. Tartu lies on the Emajõgi river, which connects the two largest lakes in Estonia, Lake Võrtsjärv and Lake Peipus. From the 13th century until the end of the 19th century, Tartu was known in most of the world by variants of its historical name Dorpat.

Nestled in the heart of the country, Tartu is Estonia's second-largest city and a hub of culture, history, and innovation. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply seeking a vibrant city experience, Tartu has something for everyone.

One of Tartu's most iconic landmarks is its centuries-old university, which dates back to the 17th century. The university is home to some of the country's most distinguished scholars and researchers, and its sprawling campus is a must-visit for anyone interested in history or architecture.
