Top 29 things to do and attractions in Narva

Well renovated and beautiful buildings, if possible, step inside!

Interesting from a historical point of view. Keeps the spirit of past inside. It has enormous paper model of Narva with all its buildings. Those paper models are the main thing here, in Town Hall, so you wouldn’t have to spent much time here :) Then you can proceed to the cafe in a nearby building.

Beautifully renovated

Narva had a beautiful Old Town with scenic old streets and houses. Sad that there's almost nothing left after the WWII. This is a place where you can almost imagine how it looked like before. City Hall was finished in 1671, Stock Exchange in 1704.

Narvas city hall has historical spirit and looks quite old. Overall it brings impression that you have visited the past century- time back. Hall has own medieval magic.

One of the few old buildings in Narva that survived (or was rebuilt) the war

Newly renovated historic town hall that is open to the public.

A two-floor small art gallery continuing the exhibition of the history of Narva. It is more than artwork displays; the miniature replicating the old times of Narva city is inside this museum as well. The entrance ticket is included if you already have the Narva museum ticket. It is just a nice 10-minute walk from the Narva museum (the castle) to this art gallery.

Not sooooo big, but ! Cute artistic approach on Narva city. Art about Narva, but also art made by Narva people. Do visit 👍

It was quite small and the exhibitions were not curated. The setting was off. Didn’t really learn much there. Maybe it is worth while when you don’t know anything about art or Narva history. Someone just made a wall art in the back of the Gallery when I passed by- that was cool!

Visited it on June. Excellent curation, very interesting works. Cheers from Argentina!

It contains a very interesting exhibition. This place deserves more visitors!

Symbolic!

Very good collection of art pieces

(Translated by Google) Not to be missed when visiting Narva (Original) Sollte man bei einem Besuch in Narva nicht verpassen

Very detailed exhibition of the history and a well renovated fortress. Can be climbed all to the top.

Excellent museum and beautiful castle with an unusual history and location just across the Narva River from its Russian counterpart.

In the far east of Estonia, the keep of Hermann Castle (also known as Narva Castle) rises 51 meters above the Narva River. As part of the Livonian Crusade (1198-1290), the Danes conquered Northern Estonia and established the Duchy of Estonia there. To guard their eastern border, the Danes built a wooden fortress in Narva, a favorable intersection of trade routes. After several armed conflicts with Novgorod and Pskov, the first all-stone castle with 40-meter-high walls was built in the early 14th century to ensure effective border control. After the Livonian Order acquired the Duchy of Estonia in 1346, they adapted the castle somewhat to their needs. The construction of Ivangorod Castle on the other side of the river/border led to the construction of the enormous Hermann Tower and the wall surrounding the city of Narva. The city walls didn't survive the many changes of power (they were demolished in 1777), and the castle itself barely survived the various wars. Thanks to several restorations, the last eight-year restoration completed in 2024, Narva now boasts one of the most intact medieval castles in Estonia. An imposing castle with an interesting museum that makes the trip to Narva worthwhile.

(Translated by Google) It is interesting to explore the museum with the audio guide you get at the ticket office. However, the whole process was quite a maze and it was difficult to understand how to navigate logically. At first, they didn't say that it would be best to start from the 3rd floor. It is worth taking almost a whole day to leisurely walk through the entire castle and look and listen to the information. (Original) On huvitav piletikassas saadud audiogiidiga muuseumit avastada. Siiski üsna labürint oli kogu liikumine ja raske aru saada, kuidas oleks loogiline ringi käia. Alguses ei öeldud ka, et parim oleks liikumist alustada 3.korruselt. Tasub võtta pea terve päev, et rahulikult kogu linnus läbi käia ja infot vaadata-kuulata.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful castle. Worth a visit. Visited on a Sunday and simply no crowds. (Original) Krásný hrad. Stojí za návštěvu. Navštíveno v neděli a prosto bez davu v lidí.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, nice museum too. Also across the Russian border. Had a good tour with Alexander. (Original) Schitterende plek, mooi museum ook. Ook door de Russische grens ertegenover. Goede rondleiding gehad van Alexander

Such an interesting place. You can view the Russian shore from the nice, park like setting on Narva’s shore. The view of the fortresses on both sides of the river. The promenade hosts nice walking paths, places to sit and a few cafes.

Very nice place, just below the border crossing point. Has been built in the last years. Offers a very decent view towards the Russian side including the fortress.

Very nice promenade to take a walk on. It goes by the river, so as a landscape you will see the Ivangorod Castle on the Russian side. There are also beautiful parks.

Narva, cool city, very close to Russia. You can literally see the russians fishing across the river. Totally recommend you to go and experience the city and some beautiful lamp-poles! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Interesting place to visit, especially regarding the current situation. Border wait was around 4 and a half hours, so if you are wanting to cross, expect to wait a good few hours.

Amazing walking place along the river. One coastline side belongs to Estonia and second to Russia. Promenad has benches, watching platforms, also road line for bycicle. It opens great view to Narvas bastion, bridge, Ivanov bastion, Russian living town. Highly reccomend to visit.

Amazing attraction in Narva for a tourist or local to visit. Scenic views to the river, to Narva castle and across to Russia. It's worth to visit during all seasons as it's always interestig. Make sure to dress warm when it's colder as wind is for sure busy there as huge open area.

Impressive medieval castle. Haven't got inside, but outside look is magnificient.

We drove more than two hours from St. Petersburg to see the fortress and Ivangorod itself. In the end, they wouldn't even let us into the city because they required some kind of passes. This is crazy! A Russian with a Russian passport must get a pass to get into a Russian city. How would an ordinary tourist even know that he needs a pass?! A big hello to domestic tourism! With such an attitude, they'll never get enough money to go to a normal toilet in this fortress.

Excellent sightseeing place in border of Russia and Estonia. 85m between two castles!

oh my what a fortress and museum!!! I have visited hundreds of castles and fortress in Europe and the world but this one is outstanding for the size, the quality of restoration and the state of conservation. walking on the walls you can see magnificent views of narva river and narva facing fortress. the museum is a nicely restored antique building with the whole story of ivangorod and nice models and pictures. there is also a very interesting play area for children where they can play the archaeologist work by digging artifacts in the sand. definitely worh a visit!!!

Well-preserved medieval Russian castle in Ivangorod opposite of the Narva castle on the Estonian side. The area has very interesting history as a borderline between Russia and Estonia. Currently people flow somewhat easily across the borders.

Amazing views, no crowds at all.

Interesting piece of history, highly recommended

(Translated by Google) Interesting and pleasant. All my ancestors in Narva lived and worked in this Kreenholm in Narva and in every way related to it. Kangruds already, weavers and embroiderers and tailors, all Kreenholm's activities in various ways, also a master fitter. Throughout Kreenholm's life, they lived here.

This Swedish lion honors the soldiers who lost their lives on 30 November 1700 (19 November according to the Julian Calendar) during the Battle of Narva. The Swedish King Charles XII defeated the three times larger Russian army of Peter the Great, thus confirming Swedish hegemony in Northern Europe.

The Swedish Lion or The lion monument are two statues erected as monuments of the battle of Narva in 1700 in the city of Narva in Estonia. The first version, a copy of one of the lions at the Stockholm Palace, was erected by an entrance to the city in 1936 but was destroyed during World War II. A new version, a copy of the Medici lion of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, was erected by the Narva river in 2000.

Beautiful statue and park

I launched my ultralight 249 gram mavic mini to take some shots of the statue and fortresses. made sure to stay below 150m and i maintained visual eye contact on the drone. The police showed up within 10 minutes and detained me for an hour and a half. They said it was within 5km of the russian border which violates the law. They took their time filling out paperwork and wouldnt make an exception to the fact that the drone is 249g not above 250. They made me miss my train, and they gave me a 100 Euro Ticket. didn't explain how foreigners can pay the bill, only that i can go to the bank. so i went to multiple banks and they won't help. you actually need to go to the post office. Anyways, don't fly your drone here...

Nothing special in mine opinion, but from the location of statue opens great view to the Narvas castle and Ivangorod fortess.

Good view on two fortresses, especially at night. If you stop near by take a picture there.

From the place where the statue is you can see the Hermann Castle and at the other side of the river the Ivangorod Fortress

One of the most beautiful beaches in Estonia.

Of all the beaches in Estonia, this beach was one of the best we visited. There was lots of soft white sand and plenty of room for everybody to enjoy their privacy. The beach is shallow so it's good with young children on a hot summer day. The beach is a few kilometers long so it was good for long walks or for a jog along the coast.

A beautiful beach! But the seaweed smelled quite bad in some places

This stretch of white sand beach that kisses the Baltic Sea is a secret wonder of Estonia. Priceless gem....please visit

Not as developed as famous resorts. Beautiful nature. Longest beach in Estonia 🇪🇪

Beautiful beach, but shallow water and amenities are scarce

Most Beautiful beach in Estonia!

A very nice cathedral, I had a great visit while in Narva! It was cool to walk around and take some pictures, the cathedral looks very old and has a great feel to it.

Great place to find the links for your family heritage. I should be thankful to the lady who was inside when I've entered a lot. She provided me with so much relevant information about my Estonian ancestors who were born and lived in Narva, but also supplied me with leads on how to reach people in Narva who might have provided further information. This place preserves the Holy Spirit. My great-grandfather was baptized there. The picture (from the original church book) attached depicts the local priest who served in the church and later relocated to Australia.

The Alexander Lutheran Church (Church of the Memory of Emperor Alexander II) in Narva is a church dedicated to the Russian Emperor Alexander II. It was built in Narva in 1881-1884 in the neo-Romanesque style. Before the war, it was the largest church building in Estonia. The author of the temple's design was academician Otto von Gippius from St. Petersburg.

Pretty cathedral exterior. Unfortunately, it was not open for visits when we were there.

The lights installation was interesting and view nice from the top. The keeper was very friendly and helpful.

An amazing church with an incredible architecture. The tower is well preserved and contains an interesting exhibition. The main part of the church, unfortunately, is in decay and there does not seem to be enough money to restore it. Actually, I visited it more than 10 years ago and back then it was still more or less safe to visit the sitting areas. Now it is not.

Grand building, that is almost in ruins after the neglect during Soviet rule. The church was built for 5000 people and the present size of the congregation is 70 people. The tower was reconstructed in 2008, and since then the building is beautifully lit after dark.

A really beautiful cathedral not too far from the train station in Narva, I had a nice visit and it looks great both outside and inside.

Majestic building, very exciting and well maintained orthodox church.

It was quite place. Inside was gold and nice

Sometimes the words just won’t come.

What a wonderful building, worth a visit for sure if you are in Narva even if you aren't religious.

I love this place

Lovely big church.

Super cool museum! We had a good time walking around and checking it out, it's fun when you can get down there yourself and have a look around, definitely recommended if visiting Narva!

So impolite staff, they have no manners, i am so sorry for them.

Very interesting tour. I had a great time exploring this space. Booked a ticket through the information centre. The guide spoke good English with lots of enthusiasm. My group session was just me so that made for a great experience. Highly recommend!

Visiting casemates with the guide. Quite nice and interesting. To be improved: reservation in the website with the explananation which language would be used at what time.

I visited in early March and was the only person on the Thursday noon tour so was lucky enough to get the one-on-one treatment. Denis was a very informative and entertaining guide (in English) and the tunnels themselves are very atmospheric. I’d put a visit here top of the list of any trip to Narva, but it’s only open at certain times so check the website before travelling.

Highly recommend for visiting to learn and experience something new. Highly recommend Denis as guide for English groups, he was very entertaining! Thank you!

One of the "must have" activities in Narva. Pick an audioguide, warm clothes and enjoy those wet and dark caves. Avoid high heels and prefer rubber boots.

Fine walking and rest area. One of the best views to the Narva rivershore. Good refurbished and fullfilling the promenade area below riverbank.

I like walking with my family down the promenade. Brilliant views of russian and estonian castles. Recomend to visit!

Very nice observation platform. Will be open after 7 years of restoration work in couple weeks

Awesome, beautiful and quite place next to the river.

Good place to walking, biking, skating, fishing etc

Short way alongside the river that is the border beetwen Rusia and Estonia

Part of it is closed.

Fama is quite small centre so I wouldn't say that it's great for shopping, but there is a good selection of everything that you may look for. Some clothing brands, some electronic shops, furniture, jewelry, restaurants etc. Interior looks modern and clean. Good for groceries.

Decent little shopping center in Narva Estonia. We visited just for a day from Russia. The food at Rimi market in the mall is great.

Seems to cover all the necessities. Although most activity is on the ground floor there are two level above. Shops include bank, electronics shop, mobile service provider, small department store, furniture shop, supermarket, fast food of various types including KFC, the upper levels are more of services geared towards locals. In the parking area there's a self serve wand car wash.

It's my favourite shopping centre in Narva. Although the other one is bigger and posher, Fama in general has cheaper prices and its toilets have easier and more convenient access.

Good shopping mall.but price is very high compare to other shopping malls, and we cannot find indian brands to shop. Indians cannot shop in this fama. Not available for shopping for indians needs

Very helpful, courteous and outgoing staff, especially on the fast-food street. The dishes there are not from this word, so you definitely should make it there. 99 out of 10.

its a normal mall, you can hang out and find random stuff and treats.

Why not 5? Though I liked the atmosphere and service, I was not impressed with the meal. Desserts and starters (lamprey) were delicious, but unfortunately they didn't have the main dish that I really wanted. I ordered chicken breast with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables instead. Tasted like a regular home-made food. It was great, but nothing exciting. My friend ordered zander with potato pureè and green vegetables - it looked almost identical to my dish. All in all it was still my favourite food experience in Narva. Great place to visit after a walk in Narva Castle.

Serves a big variety of craft beer which can be found on the second floor inside the restaurant, the beers aren't mentioned in the menu though. The food was really good, different tastes were very well combined. The sausages were very juicy and the duck was served with crispy salad and complimenting beetroot sauce. The presentation was beautiful aswell. Don't expect to get side dishes (potatoes, fries etc) with your main dish.

Affordable, great service, in fluent Estonian no less. Nice view of the fortress and they have a hammock for kids.

We visited this place as a family : two adults and a baby on May 20, 2019. The place has a nice historic atmosphere. Food is gorgeous and unique, though service is disgusting: we ordered meat with porridge, soup from sour milk with lamprey eel and then I asked an advice from the blonde young waiter if fried lamprey eel with poach egg (9€) was good and the waiter said it was interesting. The order was made but waiter didn't read it back. Woman brought dishes and I started to eat mine while paying attention to a baby. Soon I realized that she brought me lamprey eel in wine for 18€!!!! So I asked her that the order was different and she brought the ell that i ordered. Later on we asked if we needed to pay for the other dish and she said that they will give some discount. But we don't want to pay for something we didn't order?! Have you seen anything like that before??? She said that as I ate some that we need to pay! After her mistake!!! Then waiter said that she will exclude one of the dishes and guess what? She excluded the one for 9€ !! We refused to pay for the thing we didn't order so she with unsatisfied face gave us another bill where we payed only for things we ordered. The situation is unacceptable me and my husband thought that maybe that's the way they cheat customers hoping that they won't notice the difference between 9€ and 18€. Be careful visiting this place!!!

Oh my - don’t miss this if you are around and happen to be hungry. Maybe the best goat cheese salad I’ve had. Took also Moose which was ok but have had better as well.

Very delicous meal, nice service and good coffee. Prices are reasonable

Superb chicken. Never ate better. I am serious. Too bad i live in Amsterdam.

We loved everything, good choice of salty and sweet dishes, yummy cakes … will definitely return!

I came to this place on a friday evening to get some warm drink and a cake. The place is very cozy, they also have tables outside. I ordered a Tea and a slice of cheesecake. The order came shortly. The cake tasted good the tea was also great. Overall I pod 5 eur for everything which I think is very affordable. All in all, the place is very cozy and pleasant. They have a large choice of teas, many cakes/pies, and even some war dishes which I haven’t checked though. The interior is nice, as well as the service.

Potato pancake with salmon and sour cream is amazing! The atmosphere of the cafe is relaxed, well decorated. The cafe is conveniently situated in the main street. A very good place to have some lunch after a cup of coffee when exploring the city.

We stopped in just as they were opening at 10am and got a few of their pastries to share-a sausage roll, an egg and green onion filled bun, and a poppy seed roll. All were delicious!

Very good place, calm, and the food is amazing. However, portion-price wise, it is not very good. I ordered pasta with shrimp and spinach, and literally there were three shrimps and a small amount of pasta.

Very small place, counter service at the bar, unreasonable prices, meager menu. From the main dishes, there are draniki (potato pancakes), which are not really a main course but more of a breakfast or appetizer, and two actual mains: chicken schnitzel for €17 and salmon for €19. The chicken schnitzel was decent homemade-style food, but it’s definitely not worth €17. A mug of tea costs €3.

Nice decor, friendly staff, and great coffee, baked goods, and breakfast. I had the Estonian breakfast with herring, and my friend had the American breakfast with bacon. We were both very pleased and are returning the next time we are in Narva.

(Translated by Google) Just trees with paths (Original) Просто деревья с тропами

Good food, but overpriced and air ventilation is very bed

Food with ambition. The chef should not consider other professions.

Slow service. Chicken and shrimps were awfully overcooked and dry. Though beefsteak was good and overall impression not bad.

The food was more than fantastic. The choice of desserts is small, but after the main course it really doesn't matter, because it is so exclusively good, tasty and satisfying in all the possible ways.

Rotten and raw lamb was served. They said - sorry, we have a new chief. Great way to completely spoil the perfect place.

Very good food and serving. The food was very very delicious and the meat was juicy. Nice and caring staff. And very fast serving.

Best restaurant in Narva!

A very nice little art exhibition inside a mansion full of history. The mansion itself worths a visit, and I am glad that it is rejuvenated by temporary art exhibitions and events in the concert hall on the second floor.

Art combined with the historical building. It was originally the house for the director of Kreenholm Textile Manufacture, but now used as an art residency. A lot of room for different art projects. There is even a room that was used as a cinema on the exhibition.

The building is really interesting and they have often unusual exhibitions.

One of the best places in Estonia. Always something interesting is going on.

Nice and professional. Excellent exhibition

Sweet home for art and artists. Incredible atmosphere and events.

Cool place for every age, interests and background.

It's an interesting place, where you can learn the most about the history of the area. There is several history books in the souvenir shop, as well. It would have helped me, if it was pointed out more clearly, that the entrance is from Peetri plats. I got many strange suggestions from Google maps.

Worth it for the view into Russia

It is excellent, that the castle is reconstructed. Now it is the time to fill it up with life, action and exponates, also artefacts from all the ages of so rich history of Narva. Modern sophisticated technologies might be as suplementary, but not the main way to show the history

Good place to visit when there is something happening. Like a festival, an open air concert, or a knights’ fight.

(Translated by Google) Narva (1345) Narva Herman Castle (13th century) Northern courtyard of Narva Castle (XIV century) The northern courtyard of Narva Castle is located north of the convention house. The courtyard took shape only in the Livonian period, when, after laying the entrance to the fortress in the western wall and building the northern gate, the Northern Courtyard became an additional defense of the main building. Previously, the territory of the courtyard, like most castles, was used for household needs - barns, stables, workshops and other buildings were located here. After renovation, the courtyard was opened to visitors in 2007. Now in the Northern Courtyard there is an experimental handmade center, located at the crossroads of eras; Here you can find medieval entertainment, ancient costumes, and crafts from different times. During the summer, the territory of the Northern Courtyard is open to everyone. By visiting the workshops, you can take part in master classes, buy unusual souvenirs, or simply enjoy the coolness of the courtyard with a 700-year history. Folklore cafe SUBRIK, created on the basis of the Narva Museum, is a place of cultural exchange and a place where you can better learn the folk traditions of Estonia, residents of the Narva region and representatives of other nationalities, of which there are about 77 in Narva. (Original) Нарва (1345 год) Нарвский замок Германа (XIII век) Северный двор Нарвского замка (XIV век) Северный двор Нарвского замка расположен к северу от конвентского дома. Двор оформился только в ливонский период, когда после закладки в западной стене входа в крепость и постройки северных ворот, Северный двор стал дополнительной защитой главного здания. Ранее территория двора, как и у большинства замков, использовалась для хозяйственных нужд — здесь располагались амбары, конюшни, мастерские и другие постройки. После реновации двор был открыт для посетителей в 2007 году. Сейчас в Северном дворе находится экспериментальный центр ручной работы, находящийся как бы на перекрёстке эпох; здесь можно встретить и средневековые забавы, старинные костюмы, и ремесла разных времён. В летний период территория Северного двора открыта для всех желающих. Заглянув в мастерские, можно принять участие в мастер-классах, приобрести необычные сувениры или же просто насладитесь прохладой двора с 700-летней историей. Фольклорное кафе SUBRIK, созданное на базе Нарвского музея - это место культурного обмена и место, где можно лучше узнать народные традиции Эстонии, жителей Принаровья и представителей других национальностей, которых в Нарва насчитывается порядка 77.

(Translated by Google) The entire fortress complex is worth seeing. Part of it is free to visit. There's also a café in this area. A visit to the museum also allows you to climb the tower, offering beautiful views in all directions. Despite numerous good exhibits, the exhibition is confusing. Hence the point deduction. Parking is free at several nearby spots. I recommend the very large parking lot below the castle. (Original) Die gesamte Festungsanlage ist sehenswert. Ein Teil ist kostenfrei zugänglich. In diesem Bereich gibt es auch ein Cafe. Der Besuch des Museums ermöglich auch die Turmbesteigung mit einem sehr schönen Blick in alle Richtungen. Die Ausstellung ist trotz zahlreicher guter Exponaten unübersichtlich. Daher der Punktabzug. Parken ist an mehrereren Plätzen in der Umgebung kostenfrei möglich. Ich empfehle den sehr großen Parkplatz unterhalb der Burg.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful complex with exhibits, and an audio guide is available upon request. View of the fortress opposite in Russia.

Unexpectedly nice promenade.

(Translated by Google) A must visit place in Narva. Nice promenade (Original) Koht mida Narvas kindlasti külastada. Kena promenaad

Narva Castle is a beautiful and well preserved historical site that offers a great experience for visitors. The castle itself is impressive, with rich history and stunning architecture. One of the highlights is the Silver Café, which adds a modern and cozy touch to the medieval atmosphere perfect for a relaxing break. The surrounding area is also lovely for a walk, with scenic views of the Narva River and the Russian border just across. It’s easy to get there by car, and parking is conveniently located nearby, making the visit smooth and stress free. Overall, it’s a great place to explore, unwind, and soak in some history. Highly recommended!

A stunning and “powerful” view of the Russian border and fortress on the other side of the river. A beautiful castle which went an extensive and beautiful renovation in recent years. Many parts are accessible. A must visit in this hidden gem!

The Narva Museum easily earns a 5-star rating for its sheer historical significance and imposing presence. Set within the massive Hermann Castle, it offers not only a deep dive into centuries of regional history but also breathtaking views across the river to Russia. The exhibitions are well-curated, balancing medieval artifacts with thoughtful presentations on Narva’s complex past. However, it’s worth noting that the experience involves a lot of stairs — winding stone steps, tower climbs, and multiple levels — so comfortable shoes and a bit of stamina are a must.

A beautiful museum, you'll learn about the fortress's history, from the Swedes and Soviets to the present day. I was captivated by the exhibition about the ancient Finno-Ugric peoples, who were destroyed by the Soviets. I highly recommend it!

Nice view from Hermanni Castle yard to the border river between Estonia (EU) and Russia. On Russian side on the other side of the river is Ivangorod Castle with long walls around it. From this river the Russian border guards toke illegally away the floating border marks which were marking the border between Estonia and Russia.

Beautiful castle and museum. There's also a possibility to sleep inside the castle, which we did.

Small but intetesting, and the vistas from the esplanade and the tower are great. Free audioguides. Small but nice restaurant.

Lake Peipus has a small beach here that’s perfect for taking picturesque photos.

The Convent buildings in the walled community are absolutely stunning. It is such a contemplative experience to walk in the grounds. Stop by the small shop and by some of the nuns honey. Support the community, especially since the entrance to the convent is free.!

Beautiful and peaceful place. You can visit freely, no tickets required, but since its an active monastery, one must remember to be respectful and not disturb the nuns living there.

Wow, beautiful place and probably must-see destination when visiting the eastern part of Estonia. Prepare yourself to be amazed by the self-sufficient Russian Orthodox community. Please be respectful of their faith and traditions.

Very quite and well maintianed monestary and surrounding.

Biblical Public loo is dangerously overpowering and rank. It took two days to get the smell out of my clothes and nostrils. In severe need of complete modernisation before the devil itself emerges from the appalling hole in the ground. No joke. Western expectations of the healing waters probably include pure, sparkling, mineral water mystically lit with blue, white and UV LEDs; perhaps a faint whiff of sulphur, reassuring us of the volcanic depths from which this pure, natural water has emerged, accessed through beautifully white tiled and stainless steel changing rooms, gently ushered by glowing, hovering nuns, also in white.... Reality. Stagnant 'stream' with no flow. Large, dark, garden shed covers concrete ramp to small pool in muddy hole. Throughput is human, not water. 5,000 dunked bodies in one small pool gave us mild ear infections and healed, well, nothing. Like the public loos, this facility would benefit from considerable investment. The monastery, churches, and liturgies, however, are stunning.

The story of this spiritual sites dates back to the 16th century but the Orthodox cathedral was built much more recently at the beginning of the 20th century. There are 6 other churches inside the wall dedicated to their own saint. You can have a stroll in the park and get in the cathedral but you must be quiet at all times, there are over 100 nuns on the site. You can buy their honey (it s delicious) and help preserve the site.

Most Amazing Mall I’ve ever been 1000% sure of that me and my brother always buy something from NewYorker in Astri because we HAVE to buy something beautiful

One of the best malls in Narva for sure. Plenty of entertainment, restaurants, shops. It's spacious and looks modern.

The Astri Center is an exceptional destination for food enthusiasts and seekers of comfort. With an extensive range of food products, this place is a haven for those seeking diverse culinary experiences. The cozy cafes offer a delightful array of home-style dishes that tantalize the taste buds. What truly sets Astri Center apart is their impeccable service. The staff is incredibly polite, courteous, and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Whether purchasing roses, Hennessy, delectable pastries, or other delicacies, the attention to detail and quality remains consistent. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and an inviting ambiance. The selection of goods reflects a commitment to quality, making every visit an enjoyable exploration of flavors and culinary delights. Astri Center is indeed a gem for those seeking not just products but an elevated shopping experience coupled with genuine hospitality.

Compared to large shopping centers in Tallinn, this one provides more relaxing and "crowd-less" experience! It not so large as those in the capital, but provides pretty much all necessary services and goods. One can find a place to eat, to do some clothing and shoes shopping, have a haircut, see a movie etc.

Has all you'd expect from a mall and more - cheap food, normal food, fancy food, fun activities and more. Great place to stop with a tour group because everyone can find something to eat, no matter their diets.

Astri Centre has lots of shops selling clothes, books, souvenirs, food, toys, jewellery, electronics and more. I particularly liked Kalev shop where you can buy Estonian chocolate. The lady there was so nice to make us discount and give lovely bag - great experience! We also then enjoyed bowling. The lady and man there were very polite, friendly and knowledgeable, and put us at ease. We enjoyed playing bowling there, and then went to Astri buffer. There, we took tea/coffee with cakes/pancake. It was nice food overall to get extra calories for billiards. The price for billiard was great, by the way, so we played until we got tired. Actually, we could have eaten something nearby, but we did not realise that (the cafe area was without light). I liked also to see places for kids to play. Overall, the place seems to have everything. I wish I had time to explore it and maybe go to their cinema.

Not very tourist-friendly place, unless you speak Russian. Shop assistants and cashiers are greeting you in Russian. It makes me feel like I went to Russia. Toilet was free, as usually in Estonia, but rather filthy.

Free Wi-Fi and the nicest, most friendly receptionist you will meet in Narva. Free maps, guides, and a comfortable lounge to relax and check emails.

Absolute gems of people - helped find a phone during only day I was in town - would rate 20 stars if I could

Anastasia helped me very well! Nice to talk to and good information about Narva and its history

Wonderful staff who are very friendly and helpful getting the most out of your visit to Narva.

Very nice and helpful employee.

Place to stop for a cigarette after crossing the border from Russia into the Estonia and the EU

Offers some free information flyers and maps.

Love the architecture here- would love to come back one time for a show

It's historical, beautiful when you enter and has friendly staff who will answer your questions.
