It’s a city that never gets boring, bursting with exciting culture, history and art, educational landscape, a rapidly developing start-up world, stylish restaurants, greenery and nature, and plenty of opportunities for a pleasant vacation. Art Hotel Pallas is located in the heart of it all, close to Tartu Old Town, the city’s cultural attractions and vibrant urban life.
Tartu has all the best of the globally new but with the local advantage – the costs are lower, security is higher and the air is cleaner than in Tallinn, Helsinki or New York. The city successfully combines modern infrastructure and facilities with a green and friendly environment.
Tartu, with its population of around 100,000 in an area of 154 square kilometres, is the second largest city in Estonia. The first written records of Tartu date from 1030, making it the oldest city in the Baltic States. Tartu has played an important role in the development of Estonian culture and national consciousness: the first national elite stemmed from the local university, the first newspapers and cultural societies, the first national theater – all began their work here, and the first national song festival took place here as well.
Tartu is easily accessible by bus, train or air. More information about transport connections can be found on the Visit Tartu website.
