Bookmark & shareSpiritual and cultural capital with a student town twist.
Tartu lays claim to being Estonia's spiritual capital - locals whisper about a special Tartu vaim , or spirit, in its 19th-century streets, parks and quietly flowing Emajõgi River. It's also Estonia's premier university town, which brings a vitality and surprising sophistication to the leafy setting.
