2. » Finland is a short hop across the sea – just 80km
away. There are ferries to Tallinn from Helsinki
(Finland) or Stockholm (Sweden).Estonia is in the
Schengen Area so we have open borders with the rest
of Europe. Brits, Americans, Canadians and
Australians can also enter Estonia visa-free.

3. » Estonians are culturally passionate and there are
plenty of exciting events, exhibitions, concerts, theatre
performances and festivals happening all year round.
Like in Narva there is a bike festival that people
around the world come and join in.

4. » Politics of Estonia takes place in a framework of
a parliamentary representative democratic republic in
which the Prime Minister of Estonia is the head of
government and of a multi-party system. The political
culture is very stable in Estonia, where the power is
held between two to three parties, that have been in
politics for a long time. This situation is similar to
other countries in Northern Europe. The current
prime minister of Estonia, Andrus Ansip, is the
second longest-serving prime minister in Europe.

5. Estonia was a member of the League of Nations from 22 September 1921, has
been a member of the United Nations since 17 September 1991,and
of NATO since 29 March 2004, as well as the European Union since 1 May
2004. Estonia is also a member of the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD), Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) and the Nordic
Investment Bank (NIB). As an OSCE participating State, Estonia’s international
commitments are subject to monitoring under the mandate of the U.S. Helsinki
Commission. Estonia has also signed the Kyoto protocol.

6. Narva is one of the unique cities in Estonia which is the third
largest in ranking. The population in Narva is 65,708 people
in total that was gathered in 2010. Narva lies on the border of
Russian and the town called Ivangorod. Estonia joined the
European Union and therefore Narva became an important
border city with great opportunities for business and tourism.
Fishing is well developed in Narva. A fish factory is located
exactly in Narva-Jõesuu.

7. Narva is ideal for a holiday because it is clean, safe
and has an excellent infrastructure. Also, it will be
interesting for you because you can treat yourself
with spa-treatments, benefit from nature and fresh air,
explore its history and most importantly enjoy a white
sandy beach in Narva-Joessu which is allocated
closely to Narva.

8. There are just a handful of museums and similar
attractions in the city, with the Narva Museum
standing out as the best by far. Located within the
castle itself and housing a wealth of historical
information and artefacts relating to the city's rich
Estonian and Russian past, the museum also features
a good art gallery, known as the Kunsti Gallerii and
featuring many large oil paintings.

9. » After 1991 there have also been some disputes about the
Estonian-Russian border in the Narva area, as the
new constitution of Estonia (adopted in 1992) recognizes
the 1920 Treaty of Tartu border to be currently legal. The
Russian Federation, however, considers Estonia to be a
successor of the Estonian SSR and recognizes the 1945
border between two former national republics. Officially,
Estonia has no territorial claims in the area which is also
reflected in the new Estonian-Russian border treaty.
Although the treaty was signed in 2005 by the foreign
ministers of Estonia and Russia, due to continuing political
tensions it has not been ratified.

10. » Narva is dominated by the 15th-century castle, with the 51-metre-high Long
Hermann tower as its most prominent landmark. The sprawling complex of
the Kreenholm Manufacture, located in the proximity of scenic waterfalls, is
one of the largest textile mills of 19th-century Northern Europe. Other
notable buildings include Swedish mansions of the 17th century, a Baroque
town hall (1668–71), and remains of Erik Dahlberg's fortifications.Across the
Narva River is the Russian Ivangorod fortress, founded by Grand Prince Ivan
III of Muscovy in 1492 and known in Western sources as Counter-Narva.
During the Soviet times Narva and Ivangorod were twin cities, despite
belonging to different republics. Before World War II, Ivangorod
(Estonian: Jaanilinn) was administrated as part of Narva.

11. » Narva Kreenholmi Stadium is home
to Meistriliiga football team, FC Narva Trans.

12. Narva is multicultural because we have different
sorts of restaurants that are available to anyone
e.g. from Turkish food all the way to Chinese food.
