Pärnu is a famous seaside resort located on the Gulf of Pärnu, which forms part of the Gulf of Riga. The city’s beaches attract many tourists every summer who enjoy holidays here. Pärnu has a lot to offer, and the city’s history goes back to its foundation in the middle of the 13th century. Throughout the Hanseatic period, Pärnu was a member of the successful trading confederation, and it was an important port city for Livonia.
Modern seaside resort tourism started in 1837, when an inn close to the beach in Pärnu established warm saltwater baths in the summer and a sauna in the winter. It attracted more and more tourists to the town, and the bathhouse developed. However, the original wooden building burned during the First World War but was built on the same site in beautiful neoclassicism in 1926-1927. The bath house can still be visited.
There are several things to see in the center of Pärnu. Rüütli is the name of the town’s cozy main street with shops, restaurants and outdoor seating in season. Along the street you pass Independence Square, Iseseisvuse väljak, where you can visit the Museum of New Art. Close to this you can also see three of Pärnu’s churches, the town’s two Orthodox churches and the Protestant Saint Elisabeth Church.
In the western part of the center of Pärnu you can see a preserved part of Pärnu’s historic moats and fortress buildings, like the Tallinn city gate from the 17th century. You can learn more about the Baroque-era fortress city and other parts of Pärnu’s history at the Pärnu Museum. And then you can relax again by the water, where the functionalist Rannahotell from 1937 is also worth a visit for its architecture and services.
