Historic downtown Pärnu is defined by its main pedestrian thoroughfare, Rüütli tänav (Knight Street). The 400-metre stretch of the street between Ringi and Vee, and a few streets that branch off from here, are home to a hodge-podge of intriguing buildings dating from the 17th to the 20th centuries. This is also where you’ll find Pärnus’s most exclusive shops.
