Tartu, Estonia’s second city, is European Capital of Culture 2024 with a packed programme of events throughout the year to celebrate the knowledge, skills and values that will help people live better in the future. Often called the spiritual and intellectual heart of Estonia, Tartu is a university town with a beating creative heart, a strong sense of heritage and a scientific bent – and the year’s events include nods to all three.
