Tartu

Its nickname is ‘the city of good thoughts’, but a better name for Tartu • [map], a minor metropolis 189km (118 miles) southeast of Tallinn, might be ‘the city of good ideas’. Tartu is Estonia’s intellectual capital, home not only to the nation’s largest and most prestigious educational institution, Tartu University, but also to several colleges, research centres and the nation’s supreme court.

The atmosphere here is decidedly different from that in Tallinn – less rushed, more contemplative and, thanks to its student population, visibly younger. With 99,000 inhabitants, this is Estonia’s second-largest city, but Tartu is still small enough to lack the annoyances found in many urban areas. At the same time it has a number of cafés, parks, museums and historic sites that are just as interesting as any you could find in the capital.
