Estonia Krown
Estonia's summer capital
Given this powerful primal instinct, it’s no wonder that Pärnu is the place to be in Estonia during the warmer months. With its long stretch of white sand beach, old-fashioned resort feel and easygoing atmosphere, this little city rightfully earns its designation as Estonia’s official ‘Summer Capital’.
If you’re lucky enough to be visiting this summer, you’re in for an added bonus: As we were going to press, several major renovation projects to improve both the Koidula Park and the beach area were in full gear. We don’t know exactly what the result will be, but we can safely recommend you bring your inline skates.
Other things you’ll want to tote around are your sunscreen, your camera and of course your copy of Pärnu In Your Pocket. While you’re using it to explore the city, keep in mind that opening hours here often change in the busy season. Although we’ve tried our best 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 and may all your own genetic urges be fulfilled, whatever they may be.

great place if you do not mind a rustic feel - no airs and graces just good honest people and a great welcome from the host Bo. Often live music and always a lively crowd - would not recommend for those looking for a quiet drink. My fave place in [...]

During an early spring visit to Parnu, we found the restaurant is now called Primavera, prices higher but food is better presented, service excellent and huge helpings! Menu specialises in fish, eg swordfish, but beef, duck and vegetarian available[...]
Simply the best place ever visited. Best prices for drinks (only 25 EEK for every drink) and food, the most friendly staff, good music and even the amusing local drunks. In Veerev you are never alone.[...]
