narva knights' fortress

You can't fail to miss the fortress - easily the most impressive building for miles around. It's quite an experience to go up to the top viewing gallery and literally look down onto the castle on the other side of the river - in Russia. Although (for now) thankfully peaceful you can really imagine how important this place was during its time as a defensive position.

After visiting, I felt the outside was as impressive as the inside. Very interesting articles from long ago. At only 6 euros the admission fee can't be beat! The staff were all very inviting which made me feel more welcome. A must see while in Narva.

Walk in with pet in park and in territory of castle is strongly prohibited. I was there with toy dog, Security staff is active and commanded me to leave immediately

Impressive fortress, and very well kept. A bit dull when you get inside - although the gallery at the top of the Tower was worth the stairclimbing :-)

the castle was ok. the view around is really nice, the river and valley is really picturesque. there was a marathon which added the interest..

Our group were guided on a tour that was more like a theater performance. We fought with swords, danced, went through narrow tunnels and enjoyed a glass of wine by the fire at the end. Great experience if you book a special group tour.

This is the most beautiful landscape in Narva. There is meseum inside that you should visit when you are in Narva!

Narva and Ivangorod of nowadays are two towns. However in the past they were just one town, with one industry, one cemetery, and one heart. Both towns have a fortress. Narva has one of western european style and Ivangorod - of the old russian type. Both places are very worth to visit. If you are in the area, spend a day or half of it in the area. Explore fortress in Ivangorod, then cross the border by feet and explore the fortress in Narva. Narva has many hotels, so staying here is easy and pleasant. And then you could take a bus from Narva to Talinn or from Ivangorod to Saint-Petersburg. Easy and pleasant stop with lot's of culture.

A great place for an enthusiast of military history with a castle and several bastions to observe. Information leaflets in several languages available from the city tourist info. A great view across the border river and over the riverside parks.

We arrived at Narva and went to the Tourist information centre to find best place for lunch - they recommended the Castell restaurant so we tried it, it was really good. we had lunch outside and service as well as lunch was better than good. At the end of the season watch out for the wasps we spent quite a lot of time chasing them off. We had a 2 course meal and soft drinks the bill was 36.50 Euro. The castle was amazing we could see Russia and the castle on the Russian side of the river, the visit was really worth while. We also took photos next the the large monument of Lennin.

Замок хоть и небольшой, но осмотр занял у нас больше двух часов. Сначала мы забрались на самый-самый верх, где расположена смотровая площадка, и любовались видами Нарвы и соседнего Ивангорода. Затем начали спуск с осмотром всех залов. Кроме постоянной экспозиции о жизни замка, было несколько временных выставок: моя подруга была в восторге от выставки мишек тедди в национальных костюмах стран Евросоюза. Моей рыбной душонке больше понравилось выставка о кильке :) Все встретившиеся нам сотрудники прекрасно владеют русским языком, всегда готовы ответить на вопросы, милы и дружелюбны. Но особенно нам понравился двор ремесел (северный двор) - мы узнали о плетении кружев, кожевенном деле, изготовление керамики, травяных сборах, кузнечном деле и даже сами отчеканили по монетке :) При покупке билета (6 евро) нам выдали по монетке, которые мы радостно обменяли там на сувениры. Можно оставить куртку в гардеробе, что достаточно удобно. Единственный минус: мы были зимой (2 января) и нас чуть не сдуло на подходе к музея. Думаю летом там совсем отлично. Обратите внимание, что двор ремесел работает с конца мая по сентябрь, а зимой его открывают только на период российский новогодних праздников.

В замке Германа сейчас расположен музей. Всем советую посетить. Выставки часто меняются. Приветливый персонал.

Очень красиво, невероятные виды, но нсть и минусы. Никуда внутри особо не пускают. Очень красиво особенно зимой

Крепость не большая, но по эстонски чисто и аскетично. Люблю Эстонию и всегда нахожу в ней что родное и личное)))
