The Oru Park and grand palace in the beautiful valley of the Puhajogi River was built by Grigori Jelissejev – one of the wealthiest men in 19th century Russia. In 1935, three industrialists bought the palace and park and presented it to President Pats for his summer residence. The palace was totally destroyed during the Second World War. Today you can walk in the well-marked and well-maintained park, look at various species of trees and shrubs, explore the Silver Spring Cave, as well as enoy the sea view and the sunset from the petrel nest. Interesting fact: the Oru Park Promenade organized annually in August has become a tradition.
Very nice walk through the Gates of 2 Bears, along oak alley and then all the sudden - perfect garden with breathtaking view. Well spent time.

The Narva Castle is one of the main attractions of the city. In the seventh decade of the 13th century, the Danes established a castle as a residence for the Danish King’s vice-Regent. The Narva Castle is one of the most diverse and best preserved defense structure in Estonia. The area of the castle is 3.2 hectares, and the highest point is the Tall Hermann Tower (51 meters), which offers views over Narva, the Kreenholm factory and Ivangorod Fortress across the river in Russia. Today you can visit the museum in the castle, were the displays explain the history of Narva and the castle.
Standing on the the edge of Estonia and looking over the river into Russia. Throw in a spectacular sunrise and the fact that your standing on the edge of the European Union and you will be captivated by this fascinating spot. The castle on the Estonian side and the Ivangorod Fortress on the Russian side add to the allure of this stunning location. I would say it's a must see in Narva, whether you are just passing through or spending the night.

The Astri centre is the largest shopping and entertainment complex in Narva. It boasts more than 50 different stores and is home to the 3 screens of Forum Cinemas Astri. It also has a fast food restaurant and two bars. There is an exciting playroom for children where parents can leave their little ones in the care of professional child minders. The underground car park is one of the biggest in the city. The Astri centre was designed not only as a place to shop with an extensive choice of stores, but also as a great place for people to meet and spend time together. Fashion brands like H&M, Newyorker, Reserver, Lindex etc

A short (20 minute each way) detour from the main highway between Narva and Tallinn. Well worth it to see this grand convent. Apart from the main monastery building, you can walk around the site however the nuns can sometime be a bit grumpy and don't like photos as much. I would say 30 minutes -45 minutes would be sufficient during your stop. Significance wise it was interesting how the small convent built in the late 1800's grew into the largest orthodox community in the Baltic States.

There is some magic in these Estonian river side cities - Narva river with the Russian castle on the opposite bank of the river is magnificent. I spent here several hours taking pictures and enjoying the Autumn sun and watching anglers (or fly-fishers) try their luck catching fishes on both strands of river Narva.

Restaurants, bars- but still you can find place "just for yourself".The restaurant Meretare has a nice terrace and foor is quite good. Perfect place to watch the sun go down. The closer you are to the centre of Narva-Joesuu the more options you have and the further you are the more quiet it gets, So - it's up to you,

Fama is the name of one of Narva’s bastions.Built in 1690, it comprised a yard and surrounding rooms in which there were workshops, smiths’ stores, stables, barns and prison facilities. It was demolished to make way for the trade route to Europe. It is the only bastion in the city that no longer exists. However, in its place has sprung up a brand new shopping complex. ‘The rebirth of history on the trade route’ was the idea behind the project.
