Scenery 

In Tartu you find yourself in a green city – parks spread out here, and the winding Emajõgi River beautifies every season throughout the town.

In autumn, it is relaxing to walk along the banks of the river and even swim at its beaches.

Tartu's old town offers delightful examples of architectural styles from the Middle Ages to modern contemporary architecture. Thanks to its universities, Tartu is known as a city of science, promoting science through museums and events to its residents and visitors.
