    Tartu is a vigorous university town with a rich cultural heritage providing diverse leisure opportunities throughout the year. For domestic tourists, Tartu is the most popular tourist destination in southern Estonia. Its peculiar architecture, fascinating events, interesting exhibitions, and image of being a Hanseatic town attract foreign visitors. Tartu is a place where everyone wants to come back and everyone is welcome. ${QuickSuggestions} The captivating neoclassical Old Town, the serene pathways and bridges of Toome Hill, the vibrant café scene and all those weird and wonderful bars... it’s no wonder the world is finally waking up to Tartu! ${BestWay} Buses and minibuses operate regularly from 6am to midnight. Tickets for buses can be purchased from newsstands for 8 EEK or from the driver for 10 EEK. Make sure you either have a valid ticket before getting on public transport or buy one immediately upon entering from the driver. (If you need to buy a ticket, enter at the front door; tickets are only sold at stops, not while driving. Note that tickets bought from the driver are more expensive than from a kiosk.) Punch your ticket right after getting on at one of the machines located throughout the bus. Taxis can be hailed on the street or ordered by phone. Taxi ranks are located at some intersections. The cost runs from 8 to 10 EEK per kilometer.
