Tartu, Estonia's second largest city, is located on the banks of the Emajögi River in the southeast of the Baltic Sea and is known as the "Athens of the Baltic". With a history of over 800 years, this historic city is the cultural and educational center of Estonia, and the University of Tartu (founded in 1632), one of the oldest universities in Northern Europe, has nurtured many scientists and thinkers. The Old Town, with its medieval cobblestone streets, Gothic architecture and magnificent City Hall, attracts visitors from all over the world with the Tartu Summer Music Festival every summer. As Estonia's "Knowledge Capital", Tartu holds a key position in the fields of science, technology, innovation and academic research, and is a must-visit destination for a taste of Estonia's spirit and culture, combining modern dynamism with its historical roots.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
