Estonia's summer capital 2011

Estonia's summer capital 2011
Getting tanned, getting wet, frolicking on the beach and generally enjoying the great outdoors. For well over a century now, those are the attractions that have been pulling the masses to Pärnu, Estonia’s ‘Summer Capital.’

Once here, it’s easy to see why Estonians have designated this town as their summer party spot. Apart from a fantastic, well-developed beach, Pärnu is full of manicured parks and stunning villas. And then there’s the Old Town, a timeless treasure trove of cafés, boutiques and historical curiosities. It even has a couple Medieval sights thrown in for good measure.

There are plenty of worthy places to visit outside of town as well, including the wild, boggy trails of Soomaa and the fascinating island of Kihnu.

However you end up spending your time in the Summer Capital, be sure to keep your copy of Pärnu In Your Pocket handy to help you navigate through all the sights, restaurants and nightlife, and show you where the sporty action can be found. While you’re using it to explore the city, keep in mind that opening hours often change here during the busy season. Although we’ve done our best to try to list summer hours wherever possible, you might just find that you’ll be able to wine and dine later than we mention in the guide.

Enjoy your stay in Pärnu!
