Bus tickets and timetable 

All public transport information is on Google Maps - you can insert your place of departure and arrival - the correct bus times will be shown. Chemicum is near a bus stop named 'Nooruse' which you can reach with bus number 2. Buses 1 and 8 take you within walking distance of the building, to a bus stop called 'Soinaste II'. 

Tartu is relatively small, so  bike rental is a good choice for moving around. The city has its own bike rental scheme, also Bolt electric scooters are widely available.
