The virtual tour "VR Tartu 1913" takes visitors through time to the center of Tartu more than a century ago. Physically, you move between four viewpoints on both sides of the Arch Bridge, but virtually, the lost panoramas of Tartu and the lively street open up before you. Experience what the banks of the Emajõgi looked like at the beginning of the 20th century – the city's former symbols, such as the town hall, stone bridge, barge harbor, and grand historic Tartu hotels come to life again. While walking in modern-day Tartu, you simultaneously see the city that no longer exists, and experience its sounds, movement, and atmosphere virtually. This engaging, fact-based yet emotional experience makes history come to life, offering a rare opportunity to glimpse what Tartu was like before the war brought about major changes. An audio guide is available in multiple languages to allow every visitor to experience Tartu's story in their own language. Step into a time machine and experience Tartu as it was in 1913!
