For us Swedes, the visit is extra interesting because much of the city&#039;s history is intertwined with Sweden&#039;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Konung-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Svensk kung i Narva i Estland\" class=\"wp-image-95696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Konung-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Konung-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Konung-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Konung-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Konung-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Konung.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you finally reach the top, a fantastic view of the Narva River and the Ivangorod Fortress on the Russian side awaits. Or you can wait a little further down while your less afraid of heights travel companions go up with their cameras. I chose the latter option. Peter got to take the pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Utsikt-mot-Ryssland-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Utsikt mot Ryssland fr\u00e5n Narva i Estland\" class=\"wp-image-95697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Utsikt-mot-Ryssland-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Utsikt-mot-Ryssland-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Utsikt-mot-Ryssland-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Utsikt-mot-Ryssland-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Utsikt-mot-Ryssland-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Utsikt-mot-Ryssland.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Narva_och_den_svenska_historien\"><\/span>Narva and Swedish history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Swedish visitors, Narva is of particular interest. The city belonged to Sweden from 1581 until 1704 and developed during the Swedish period into an important trading and border town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most famous event is of course <em>the Battle of Narva in 1700,<\/em> during the Great Northern War. The Swedish army under Charles XII defeated a significantly larger Russian army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The victory did not last long, however. Four years later, Narva was captured by Peter the Great&#039;s Russian army and the Swedish era was over. Traces of the Swedish era are still visible in several places in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Det_svenska_lejonet_i_Narva\"><\/span>The Swedish lion in Narva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clear reminder of our shared history is the Swedish lion. The first monument was erected in 1936 to commemorate the Battle of Narva, but was destroyed during World War II. The current monument was inaugurated in 2000, 300 years after the battle. The monument also offers a fine view of the area around the river and the fortresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Den-svenska-lejonet-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Det svenska lejonet i Narva i Estland\" class=\"wp-image-95680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Den-svenska-lejonet-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Den-svenska-lejonet-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Den-svenska-lejonet-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Den-svenska-lejonet-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Den-svenska-lejonet-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Den-svenska-lejonet.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Victoria_bastion_%E2%80%93_ett_arv_fran_den_svenska_tiden\"><\/span>Victoria Bastion \u2013 a legacy from the Swedish era<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even more Swedish history can be found at the Narva bastions. During the Swedish period, Narva&#039;s defenses were greatly expanded according to plans by the Swedish fortification officer Erik Dahlbergh. Work on the large bastion system began in 1682 and continued until the Great Northern War. The Russians later continued the work after they conquered the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most powerful of the defense installations is <em>Victoria bastion<\/em>. Today you can take guided tours through the old underground casemates. When we were in Narva we managed to find days when it was closed, so we still have this to experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, the facility is open year-round, but visits to the underground passages are by guided tour and require advance booking. It can be chilly even in summer \u2013 the temperature in the casemates reaches around 15 degrees at most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bastion-Narva-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Narva Victoria Bastion\" class=\"wp-image-95679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bastion-Narva-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bastion-Narva-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bastion-Narva-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bastion-Narva-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bastion-Narva-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bastion-Narva.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flodpromenaden_i_Narva\"><\/span>The river promenade in Narva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A much more accessible experience is to walk along the Narva River. The promenade runs below the castle and bastions, offering a constant view of Russia on the other side of the water. There are seating areas, small sculptures and green areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strandpromenad-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Flodpromenaden i Narva\" class=\"wp-image-95666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strandpromenad-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strandpromenad-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strandpromenad-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strandpromenad-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strandpromenad-1-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strandpromenad-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lejon-1-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Lejon l\u00e4ngs flodpromenaden i Narva i Estland\" class=\"wp-image-95667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lejon-1-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lejon-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lejon-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lejon-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lejon-1-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lejon-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#039;s a nice walk in itself, but above all it&#039;s the location that makes it special. On the other side of the river you can see Ivangorod and the large Russian fortress, while Hermannsborg rises behind you on the Estonian side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narvaborgen-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Narvaborgen i Ryssland\" class=\"wp-image-95698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narvaborgen-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narvaborgen-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narvaborgen-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narvaborgen-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narvaborgen-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narvaborgen.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ivangorod Fortress - on the Russian side of the river<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Radhuset_och_Narva_College\"><\/span>Town Hall and Narva College<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the few older buildings remaining in central Narva is the Baroque Town Hall from the 17th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city was hit extremely hard during World War II and large parts of the historic buildings were destroyed. Next to the town hall is today the University of Tartu&#039;s Narva College, a modern building with an unusual architectural connection to old Narva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who want to see what the city looked like before the destruction of the war, there is also a virtual experience at the town hall where you can walk around old Narva using VR technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narva-stad-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"Universitetet och r\u00e5dhuset i Narva i Estland\" class=\"wp-image-95668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narva-stad-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narva-stad-600x374.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narva-stad-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narva-stad-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narva-stad-433x270.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narva-stad.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kyrkor_i_Narva\"><\/span>Churches in Narva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also a couple of churches that are worth checking out when walking around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alexander Cathedral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alexander Cathedral is a Lutheran church that was built between 1881 and 1884. The church was badly damaged during World War II and has since been restored in stages. When we were here, the church was closed, so we had to make do with seeing it from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyrka-i-Narva-1024x665.jpg\" alt=\"Alexanderkatedralen i Narva i Estland\" class=\"wp-image-95663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyrka-i-Narva-1024x665.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyrka-i-Narva-600x390.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyrka-i-Narva-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyrka-i-Narva-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyrka-i-Narva-433x281.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyrka-i-Narva.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resurrection Cathedral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A completely different church is the Russian Orthodox Resurrection Cathedral, <em>Resurrection of Christ Cathedral<\/em>, which was built at the end of the 19th century.

At its peak, over 10,000 people worked here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Production has long ceased, but the monumental industrial architecture remains. The area is not freely accessible, but Narva Museum regularly organizes guided tours of Kreenholm. In 2026, tours about the history of the textile industry and special tours through the Joala factory will be offered. This really feels like a place we missed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Narva-Joesuu_%E2%80%93_lang_sandstrand_vid_Finska_viken\"><\/span>Narva-J\u00f5esuu \u2013 long sandy beach on the Gulf of Finland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all the history, it can be nice to have some sea and sand. About 13 kilometers north of Narva lies the health resort of Narva-J\u00f5esuu, at the mouth of the Narva River in the Gulf of Finland. Here is a long and wide beach with soft, fine-grained sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we arrived here, the rain was heavy in the air and it wasn&#039;t a classic beach day. But we could still see that the beach is really nice \u2013 and a real contrast to the castles, bastions and Soviet architecture inside Narva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stranden-i-Narva-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Stranden i Narva\" class=\"wp-image-95678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stranden-i-Narva-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stranden-i-Narva-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stranden-i-Narva-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stranden-i-Narva-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stranden-i-Narva-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stranden-i-Narva.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Narva_med_husbil\"><\/span>Narva by motorhome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We visited Narva during a longer motorhome trip through Estonia and found it easy to get around. Narva itself can be explored on foot once you have parked. Many of the main sights are clustered around the castle, river, town hall and bastions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, keep in mind that the border area is significantly more sensitive today than when we made our trip in 2019. Follow signage and current instructions and please check current information before your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e5glar-Narva-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Camping i Narva i Estland\" class=\"wp-image-95676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e5glar-Narva-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e5glar-Narva-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e5glar-Narva-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e5glar-Narva-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e5glar-Narva-1-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e5glar-Narva-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vana-Olgina_%E2%80%93_camping_utanfor_Narva\"><\/span>Vana-Olgina \u2013 camping outside Narva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stayed overnight at <em>Old-Olgina<\/em>, just outside Narva. And yes \u2013 the place is still there. This was one of the more original campsites during our trip. On the large green plot there was a delightful mix of boats, cars and other gadgets, a small pond and an outhouse that most resembled an Indian tent. The nice owner was originally from Russia and had many stories to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Vana-Olgina is marketed as a holiday home and campsite, with spaces for motorhomes and caravans. The facility is said to be open year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we got there, the rain poured down and we quickly crawled into the camper. Later in the evening, the rain eased and the fog began to roll in. Peter took out his camera and got some of our best photos from our stay in Narva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, we absolutely think so. Not because Narva is that obviously beautiful tourist town with picturesque neighborhoods and restaurants in a row. It&#039;s rather the contrasts and history that make the city interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, Estonia and Russia meet on opposite sides of a river. Here, there is a medieval Danish castle, Swedish bastions, Soviet architecture and a gigantic industrial heritage. And history feels unusually close \u2013 perhaps even more so today than when we visited the city ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, Narva was one of the most unique places during our trip through Estonia. We would love to come back, not least to visit Kreenholm and finally enter the Victoria Bastion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"North-eastern Estonia\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0D7-mr1kRLg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mer_att_se_i_narheten\"><\/span>More to see in the neighbourhood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to continue your adventure in Estonia, there is much more to see and discover.

On the other side of the river is the Russian city of Ivangorod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is there to see and do in Narva?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the main attractions in Narva are Narva Castle, Victoria Bastion, the Swedish Lion, the river promenade, the town hall and the city&#039;s churches. The historic industrial area of Kreenholm is also interesting and can be visited in connection with some guided tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you see Russia from Narva?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Ivangorod is located directly on the other side of the Narva River and the Russian fortress is clearly visible from, among other places, Narva Castle and the river promenade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Narva interesting for Swedes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Narva belonged to Sweden during the Great Power era and the city has several connections to Swedish history. The most famous is the Battle of Narva in 1700, when Charles XII&#039;s Swedish army defeated the Russian army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you visit Narva Castle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Narva Castle is now a museum with permanent and temporary exhibitions. You can also climb the 51-meter-high Long Hermann Tower and look across the Narva River towards Ivangorod in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you cross the border from Narva to Russia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The border regulations between Estonia and Russia have changed several times in recent years. Anyone planning to cross the border should therefore check the current regulations, visa requirements and which border crossings are open before travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a beach near Narva?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Narva-J\u00f5esuu is located approximately 13 kilometers from Narva on the Gulf of Finland.
