Weekend in Tartu 2024, Estonia

 

Tartu is located about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Tallinn. Home to one of Northern Europes Oldest Universities. Tartu is known for museums, history, college night life, cafes and a creative culture. Tartu has been named The European Capital of Culture.

What is European Capital of Culture? The goal of the project is to provide Europeans with opportunities to learn more about each others culture. To enjoy the shared history and values to experience the feeling of belonging to the same European community. (Taken from European Union website)

Like Street Art?

Around town you can find murals and hidden street art.  

Enjoy People Watching?
As you wander around the city you may found yourself by the Emajogi River. The large river flows right through town. 
You can stop and have a drink, watch the sunset, rent a boat, or simply enjoy the nearby parks. 

                      

Enjoy ice cream, or stop in Kalev (a popular Estonian chocolate company) and enjoy some chocolate. 

We stopped to have an Italian lunch at Vapiano
Where to Stay?
We stayed at the V-Spa. 
V-Spa is located in city center. The hotel was very nice. The rooms are modern and the bathrooms are big.  Each room comes with complementary robes and slippers for your stay. Also you can enjoy a delicious breakfast with Champagne. 
 We picked this hotel for the Water World and Salt World. I love a Sauna and want to experience all Saunas Estonia has to offer. The V-Spa has Steam Saunas, Aroma and Hamam
( Turkish Bath) 
If you are not a Sauna person. The Spa has something to offer for everyone. 
V-Spa is a great place for families. They have a children's water play area, large indoor pools with Jacuzzi and a small but powerful lazy river. 


Off to the Spa we go!

Benefits of Salt Saunas
This sauna is particularly useful especially for those who have problems with breathing, allergies or asthma. On the walls of the sauna with low temperature and low humidity, we use a natural salt stone. Your body will be purified, and the skin can breathe better. Relaxation and stress relief has never before been so enjoyable.




-Saltwater Pool-
Benefits of Saltwater pool gives you a unique opportunity to float and relax in water. The saltwater pool is good for metabolism, rejuvenation of the skin and reduces muscle inflammation.
