Food Scene

A healthy option for delicious food, they use Spelt, have organically grown produce yet very reasonable prices. Great for a quick pancake. Definitely try hot pots, though.

A 115 year old café with an inspiring atmosphere and the best cakes in the country. If you go to one café in Tartu, go to Werner.

For the eco-friendly kind, this is the place to go. They only sell organic produce, cosmetics and my favourite Zotter chocolate.

Sightseeing

A great place to discover and walk around. Definitely go to the castle (tickets cost a little) since it offers even better view of the city.
