Tartu Department Store is a beautiful new department store in the heart of Tartu. Having the total retail area of 32 123 m², it offers a wide range of departments and services over four floors, where you are sure to find something to suit everyone’s tastes. There are also cafés, banks, travel agencies, and communications companies. The department store has its own underground car park with access to all floors, making Kaubamaja the perfect place to shop year-round.
The basement level is home to our supermarket, Toidumaailm, and a range of companies providing everyday goods and services.
The first floor is home to Kaubamaja’s beauty department (Ilumaailm) and women’s fashions (Naistemaailm), while other stores offer brand-name beauty products and clothes.
The second floor provides goods and services for those who enjoy active city living. Men and hobbyists who want to make the most of their free time find it a great place to shop and hang out. This floor is also home to shoe stores and Kaubamaja’s menswear and recreational departments.
The third floor is designed for all things house and family, including Kaubamaja’s Homewares (Kodumaailm) and Children’s (Lastemaailm) Departments. This floor is also where you will find our spacious food court, which not only offers a relaxing lunchtime getaway but also unique views over Tartu to the Vanemuine theater and park.
