Narva River Promenade

The Narva River Promenade is one of the main attractions of the Estonian border city. It starts from the Joaorg recreation area and stretches to the Victoria Bastion. The length of the promenade is about 967 meters.

Description of Narva Promenade

Construction of the Narva River Promenade began in 2014. At the same time the opening of its first part took place. Since then, three phases of its construction have been carried out. The final result is expected to extend the promenade to the railway bridge.

Modern lighting has been installed on the promenade. The walkway is tiled. Near the Friendship bridge, which connects Estonia and Russia, in the summer a fountain and a platform with benches are installed. The promenade is also full of greenery.

There are several thematic objects on the Narva Promenade:

  • Dahlberg stage, where outdoor events take place in the summer;
  • Sports ground with fitness equipment next to the Dahlberg stage;
