National Geographic Traveller nimetas Tartu ainsa linnana terves Baltikumis 30 põnevaima sihtkoha hulka, mida külastada 2024. aastal. Ajakiri kirjutab, et Tartut peetakse Eesti kultuuri- ja intellektuaalseks südameks tänu oma muuseumidele, elavatele kohvikutele ja riigi vanimale ülikoolile.

## Tartu, Estonia
*The second city steps into the spotlight*
*Estonians have long considered* [*Tartu*](https://tartu2024.ee/en) *— 110 miles from capital Tallinn — to be their country’s cultural and intellectual heart, due to its top-notch museums, lively cafes and the country’s oldest university. Little wonder, then, that this UNESCO City of Literature has been selected as one of three European Capitals of Culture for 2024, alongside Bad Ischl in Austria and Bodø in Norway.*
*Tartu and the wider southern Estonia region are marking the occasion with a year of events, from classical concerts and film screenings to edgy outdoor art installations. One of the highlights will be Kissing Tartu, a nod to the city’s Kissing Students fountain. Its roster of events will celebrate the joy of locking lips — with a kissing demonstration set to take place in Town Hall Square and broadcast live. Stencibility, the annual roving European street art festival, will also hold a special edition in the city, showcasing Europe’s biggest sticker exhibition. The Curated Diversity scheme, meanwhile, will oversee a major drive to spruce up Tartu’s public spaces with new greenery.*
