Viljandi, Medieval Hanseatic city in southern Estonia
The city features wooden houses, cobblestone streets, and castle ruins on a hill overlooking Lake Viljandi and a suspension bridge.
Viljandi Castle, constructed in 1224 under Grand Master Volquin, developed into one of the largest fortifications of the Livonian Order in the Baltic region.
The Estonian Traditional Music Centre organizes the Viljandi Folk Music Festival, which brings together more than 20,000 visitors and hundreds of performers annually.
Lake Viljandi provides swimming beaches, boat rentals, waterfront sports fields, and recreational paths connecting to numerous green spaces throughout the municipality.
The Kondas Centre exhibits works of Estonian naive art and houses temporary exhibitions of outsider art, with a gift shop selling local handicrafts.
