The “Retro Resort Narva-Jõesuu” tour by Narva Museum offers a team-building experience for groups seeking to slow down, change their environment, and restore balance through a shared cultural journey.
Narva-Jõesuu is a seaside resort with one of the longest sandy beaches in Estonia. Here, the sea, pine forests, and historic architecture create a unique atmosphere of peace and seclusion. The walk takes participants through narrow resort streets, past old wooden villas and iconic locations connected to the development of Narva-Jõesuu as a spa town.
