Moving around on foot
There is a saying that it’s as if there is more time in Tartu – this is because the distances here are short and the connecting roads and pavements are in good condition. It’s a 5-minute walk along the shore path of Emajõgi River from the bus station to the Town Hall Square in Old Town. From the city centre Biomedicum is a 35-minute walk away.
Moving around with bikes
The best way to move around the city is to rent a smart bike. You can choose between a regular bike or an electric one. The city is full of bike docs to take and park the vehicle easily. For prices and instructions see the website ratas.tartu.ee.
Moving around with electric scooters
You can also rent an electric scooter for a very low price to get to your destination quickly. You just need your phone to unlock the scooter and you are ready to go! Read all about this service on the Bolt website.
Moving around by buses
You can very easily use public transport to get to your destinations. If you have the tapping option on your card or phone, you can buy a ticket with just one swipe. All of the information about public buses in Tartu can be found on the website tartu.ee.
Moving around by taxi
There are several taxi services in Tartu, but the easiest, quickest and cheapest is to use the same Bolt app which unlocks the electrical scooters. Learn about the fastest way to order a taxi on the Bolt website.
