Located at Estonia’s easternmost point at the Russian border on the Narva River, Narva is one of Estonia’s largest cities. From Narva, you can get an unobstructed view of Russia, and the best observation points are located at Narva castle on one river bank and Ivangorod fortress on the other. The nature outside the town is magnificent, and there are hiking trails that range from climbing the Sinimäe hills to the 12-kilometer hike to the Narva-Jõesuu coastal resort, with very beautiful white sandy beach surrounded by pine forests. Because of its location, Narva has always been a melting pot of cultures, which is quite obvious by the diverse architecture in the city. The 13th century castle, a baroque Town Hall, the meticulously preserved system of defence bastions, and much more make Narva a very unique tourist destination. There is also always some kind of concert, festival, or open-air show going on.
