  • How do I get to the market?

    You can find detailed information here!

    Check out the details: here!

  • Is ... available at the market and how much does it cost?

    For more detailed info, check: our Facebook page and ask the vendors directly. Tartu Market is home to hundreds of different traders. Product prices vary and also depend on the quantity you buy, the time of day, and a bit of bargaining. The market is well-known for its vibrant, conversational shopping culture – buyers can always chat with sellers about the produce and haggle a little. AS Tartu Turg doesn't sell the goods directly; we provide the welcoming marketplace environment.

  • Can I bring my dog to the market?

    Tartu Market is a public space, and just like anywhere else in public, well-behaved pets kept properly on a leash are always very welcome!

  • The goods I bought were of poor quality.

    We are truly sorry about your experience. The market itself does not sell products directly; we rent out trading spaces. While years ago markets were required to inspect the quality of goods sold, under current regulations we no longer have that authority. Official inspectors from the Agriculture and Food Board carry out quality checks. That said, we are always very grateful for specific feedback about vendors. Find the vendor here.

  • Where is the nearest ATM? Which vendors only take cash?

    Links: ATM map and vendor list (noting which stalls are cash-only).

  • What is the market doing for the environment?

    5 GREEN STEPS:
    Less packaging: A large share of our goods is sold package-free. Shoppers are welcome to bring their own containers, use our repurposed cardboard boxes, or buy pre-packaged items.

    Waste sorting and recycling: We separate biodegradable waste, cardboard boxes, glass containers, and general mixed waste. Cardboard boxes are sent for recycling, and we keep general waste to a minimum by sorting out packaging.

    Plenty of local produce: Goods grown and produced right here in Estonia are fresh, wholesome, and come with a short supply chain. By choosing local farm produce, you support Estonian rural life, which is a big part of living sustainably.

    Building community partnerships: To help cut down on food waste, there is a Tartu community food-sharing pantry right in front of the market hall. You can leave food there to reach those in need, and you are always welcome to help out by bringing good, edible food to the pantry. Yellow recycling bins are also located in front of both the market hall and the open-air market for returning Ringo reusable food containers. Together with local communities and organizations, we're shaping the surroundings of the market hall – making the open-air market greener and fostering a rich, vibrant environment.

    Cutting down on energy use: Our main focus is keeping a close eye on our daily electricity consumption and saving energy wherever we can.
