Pärnu is a cozy seaside town in Estonia with a lively resort atmosphere and centuries-old history. The city is located at the mouth of the Pärnu River and off the coast of the Gulf of Riga, combining sea breezes, soft beaches and ancient architecture. Here it is easy to feel the summer lightness, strolling along the embankments or lingering in the warm cafes on the square.
Man-made sights of Pärnu reflect its role as a resort and cultural center: the old town with wooden houses and cozy streets, the famous promenade and piers, historical spa houses and resort facilities, temples and museums telling about the past of the city. The museums, theaters and monuments in the center add depth to the city’s walks and give an idea of what to see for history and architecture lovers.
The natural attractions here are no less impressive: the Pärnu River stretches for 144 kilometers and forms a picturesque river valley, and the Pärnu Bay - the northeastern part of the Gulf of Riga - gives wide sandy beaches and a soft lagoon atmosphere. Nearby is Kihnu Island with an area of 16.4 km2, the largest in the waters of the Gulf of Riga, where traditional life and unique nature have been preserved.
