Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Beach
Plage de Pärnu
The beach Pärnu It has a clear sand where the water remains shallow for a long time, giving swimming a rare softness on the Baltic. Behind the cabins and dunes, the walk attracts families as well as evening walkers, when the light shaves turns the bay into a wide pale mirror.
Place indismissible
Villa Ammende
Villa Ammende tells the Pärnu of elegant resorts with its gables, woodwork and Art Nouveau curves almost theatrical. The place is tasted in detail: stained glass windows, asymmetric volumes, worked salons, so many hints of a time when the seaside resort was trying to seduce a refined clientele.
Museum
Musée de Pärnu
The Pärnu Museum places the seaside town in a history older than its beaches, from the first habitats to the trade exchanges and upheavals of the 20th century. Its collections give thickness to the streets nearby: everyday objects, models and archives illuminate the life of a port that has become a holiday resort.
