Wonderful Narva waterfalls flowing right on the border with the Russian Federation will impress any tourist. The sight is exceptionally beautiful, however, the waterfalls can only be seen when the floods come. The Narva Hydroelectric Station "creates" the waterfalls artificially. You can find its building near the water tower where you can enjoy the most stunning views of the waterfalls and Parusinka Island. Children will certainly like it here - there is some romance in this place.

Few tourists know that wonderful Pimeaed Park is located just north of the customs border with Russia. It was nicknamed as “Dark Garden” because of dark gates that once led to the park. Today, the gates are ruined, but sculptures preserved in the garden delight the eyes of its visitors to this day. This is just another reason to go for a walk in the beautiful garden. And since the park is on a hill, it offers unrivaled views of Narva and the river. Nearby is Victoria Bastioni Kasematid where visitors will be told the history of Narva. It must be said that it is very rich and impressive. It is believed that if you catch a mouse hiding in the casemate and make a wish, it will come true right away. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Among the entertainment centers, the following should be noted: Bowling Number 1 where, as the name implies, you can play bowling (the same can be done in BomBey), Akvamarin Tiir where visitors can shoot at a shooting range, as well as Extreme Machine Virtual Reality 5D where people prefer spending time in virtual reality, as is clear from the name. Big families are welcome to SPK Paintball where everyone can take part in the team game. And since this kind of entertainment contributes to increasing trust between team members, it’s definitely worth a try.

In winter, you can visit Narva Jäähall and go ice-skating. But in any season, you can visit Narva Ujula, a city pool providing entertainment for both adults and children (there are two pools - a small and a large one). In addition, visitors can have a good time in a sauna and a gym. It'd also be interesting to check out several restaurants and cafes that serve wonderful desserts and other tasty treats to please the kiddies. These include Muna Cafe offering a great choice of sweets, Rondeel Restaurant with its fantastic ice cream desserts, as well as Viva Cafe where they serve the best pizza in town.
