Shopping in Tartu - shopping malls around every corner

Tartu, the second-largest city in Estonia, is actually not that big, but since it is the students' mecca, it never gets boring. Tartu is packed with different restaurants, cafes, and shops. And what makes it the best place for shopping is that the city is small and easy to get around. If you get tired of one shopping mall, there are malls literally around every corner.  

Lõunakeskus – the biggest shopping mall in southern Estonia

The biggest shopping mall, where you can spend your entire day shopping in Tartu without even noticing it, is Lõunakeskus. Yes, it is a little further away from the city center, but it is totally worth the trip, and you probably will satisfy all your shopping needs there since it is the biggest shopping mall in Southern Estonia, where everyone from the south comes to shop. It has 170 different stores, and when you get your shopping done, you can rest in one of many cafes and restaurants, do a few rounds on the full-sized ice rink or watch a movie at the cinema. Your kids will probably be happy with driving electric cars.
