Local knowledge for Tartu
Where to stay
Most budget accommodation sits within a few blocks of Raekoja plats, the main town hall square, which puts you close to Toomemägi hill and the university buildings on Ülikooli street. The Karlova district, a short walk southeast of center, has a quieter local feel and occasionally cheaper options if you are willing to be ten minutes from the action.
Getting around
- The weekend market at Aparaaditehas, a converted factory complex on the south side of town, is a good spot for cheap, filling food and secondhand finds. It draws locals far more than the area around Raekoja plats does.
- Lux Express buses to Tallinn run regularly and cost noticeably less than the train if you book a day or two in advance. The journey is roughly 2.5 hours and the buses have wi-fi and power outlets.
- Several museums near Toomemägi offer reduced or free entry on specific days of the week. Check the Tartu University Museum and the Estonian National Museum before paying full price, since the discounts are easy to miss if you just walk up.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest from November through February, when the weather is cold and tourist numbers drop. They fill up in June around university events and graduation, and again in July and August when summer visitors arrive.
