Where History Meets the Sea

Discover the charm of the seaside town Narva-Jõesuu and the historic border city of Narva on a guided day trip from Tallinn. Enjoy a walking tour of Narva-Jõesuu, relax on the beach, experience wonderful boat ride (ticket included) and explore the town of Narva.

Start your day with a guided walking tour in Narva-Jõesuu, exploring the town’s rich history. Learn about the development of the spa culture in the 19th and 20th centuries, the architectural remnants from the pre-war era, and the town’s Soviet past and post-independence transformation.

Hear local legends and unique cultural traditions before enjoying some free time at the beach to relax and enjoy the seaside.

Afterward, enjoy a delicious lunch break at a local restaurant (at your own expense) before driving to Narva. Walk along the scenic Narva River promenade with views across the border to Russia.

Learn about the centuries-old relationship between Narva and its twin city across the river, Ivangorod (Russia). Admire the striking view of the two facing castles – Narva Castle (Hermann Castle) on the Estonian side and Ivangorod Fortress on the Russian side – standing just 150 meters apart, representing centuries of shared and contested history.

Discover how the border line runs through the river and how life is shaped by this proximity to Russia. Hear local stories, historical conflicts, and present-day realities of living at Europe’s eastern edge before returning to Tallinn by bus.
