Why Go to Pärnu
Pärnu is a different Estonia: beach-first, summer-forward, and built around relaxation. If Tallinn is “walk + history,” Pärnu is “sand + slow.”
What to Do (Beach + Slow City)
A good Pärnu day trip usually includes:
- A long beach/promenade block
- One town-center wander
- A long, unhurried meal or cafe break
How to Plan the Day
Keep the plan simple:
- Beach/promenade time → one town-center wander → a long pause
Because it’s a longer trip, it can also be better as an overnight if you want a true spa-and-beach reset.
Best Season
Pärnu shines in summer. In colder months, consider an indoor-focused Tallinn day instead (see Rainy Day in Tallinn).
