Pärnu, Baltic Sea resort city in Estonia

Pärnu features a long sandy beach with a promenade, numerous parks, and restored historic villas along the waterfront district.

Founded in 1241 by the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Order, Pärnu served as a significant Hanseatic port for three centuries.

The city transforms into Estonia's summer capital, hosting music festivals, opera days, and beach events throughout the warm season.

The beach area extends for one kilometer and includes dedicated zones for swimming, sunbathing, and a separate section for naturists.

Pärnu houses Estonia's first sanatorium, established in 1838, marking the beginning of its development as a wellness destination.
