The nightlife of Tartu cannot be put into words very easily, you just have to experience it yourself! To back up our words - even the biggest fans of Tallinn (the capital city) cannot deny the special feeling you get when on a night out in Tartu. There are plenty of places to choose from, most of which carry the friendly eclectic student vibe. From underground bars for metal heads to the hip clubs with the freshest beats, there's something for everyone. And what's even better, is that most of them are cheaper than the Estonian average (there are not many places left in the country where you can get a beer for 2€ or less). There's something happening every night (even during the week), because you know, you can always retake that morning lecture.
