Paralepa beach has always been a sandy beach with one of the warmest water temperatures in Estonia.
In the vicinity of the beach it is possible to use a shower and toilet (for a fee) in Paralepa Camping or at the Hotel Thalasso Spa Fra Mare. On the beach, there are mobile toilets, cabanas, a children’s playground, and a volleyball court. Good to know: The official season is from 1 June to 31 August. During the season, life guards are present every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Pay attention to the colours of the flag: Green – swimming is safe and water is warmer than 18ºC; yellow – dangerous for children and the elderly; red – dangerous to all, water is below 16ºC.

The activity park of Haapsalu Neurological Rehabilitation Centre on the Haapsalu promenade is intended for wheelchair users.
This is an important additional option for people who need a wheelchair to move due to an accident or illness. The park’s attractions help both young and older wheelchair users to enjoy the fresh air and exercise. The park offers new opportunities for more versatile and interesting trainings for people in rehabilitation.
In the park, you can swing, play basketball, and do moderate strength training for your hands or feet.

Haapsalu has been awarded the title of a Child Friendly City – the various playgrounds in the town are the proof of that. The playground at Posti Street is in the small park right next to the building of Haapsalu Town Government. The children can either climb, swing or play in the sandbox; the parents can sit comfortably on a bench and watch their children.

The first part of the trail is a dirt road that runs along the high-voltage power line. The track then reaches the Marimetsa Brook and leads to the rest area along the banks of the brook. From there, a boardwalk will take you to Marimetsa Bog. There is a viewing tower at the end of the trail (7.6 metres high).
In Marimetsa Bog, you will see a fen, a transition bog, a raised bog, and a number of different birds and plants.
The length of the trail is 9 kilometres of which 2 × 2 kilometres is a boardwalk. You should plan 4–5 hours for the hike. The trail is wet at places – make sure to bring your rubber boots. 
There is a dry toilet on the track, benches for resting, and an information board with a map and a scheme of the trail.

This year’s festival will host guest artists from around the world. There will also be several carefully selected chamber music concerts. We welcome everyone that appreciates beauty, romance, great feelings, and splendid melodies, as well as historical concert sites, lovely summer nights, the romantic old town, and, above all, the magnificent music by Tchaikovsky. The first Haapsalu Tchaikovsky Festival, which took place in 2017, received a lot of positive feedback from the audience, recognition from critics, and several significant prizes.

Chunks of meat are grilled over an open fire and hare is prepared with the utmost respect for the delicious flavour of the rabbit. Our pizzas get their crisp edges in a wood-fired pizza oven specially brought here from Italy and pasta made with our own pasta maker is better than anything you could buy in a shop. Our wine cellar is full of flavour bouquets that perfectly complement the delicious meals and the beer is always cold.

The wine party began with the idea of introducing Haapsalu’s twin town Greve, located in the Chianti region of Italy. Wine is offered by the majority of Estonian importers as well as by their Italian partners. The wine party begins on Friday in Haapsalu’s cafés with Italian wine tastings. On Saturday, a wine contest will be held in Haapsalu’s Old Town, which will reveal the favorite Italian red wine, white wine, and Prosecco of Haapsalu.

We think of nostalgia as the past. We do not give priority to waving communist flags or to political preferences. Those days are simply gone. When most people think of the past, they think of their first schoolday, their first love, first car, and many other of their firsts.

Nostalgia Days in Haapsalu are special because the events take place in the entire city during three days. The main day has always been Saturday when a parade of old vehicles takes place, followed by an exhibition, a concert, and a fair.

Summers in Haapsalu last longer!

The holiday village located in the greenery of a Haapsalu suburb is perfect for campers, but meant more for travellers in caravans or cars. All the facilities exist for caravan travellers, starting with washing facilities and electrical power outlets, and ending with food preparation facilities.

Nõva Manor Café is located in the beautiful Nõva village in the northwestern corner of Estonia. The café was founded in a former manor staff house. It has also housed the local dairy.
Our menu is homely. From Monday to Friday, there is always at least one daily special meal and soup.
In addition to warm food, we also offer delicious cakes, pastries, pies, and kringles – all made on the spot.
The place is well suited for birthday parties and other events.

One section of the Haapsalu promenade was named the Chocolate Promenade in the first half of the last century. There was said to have been a café that offered excellent hot chocolate, the aroma of which spread throughout the area. This is one of the stories of the romantic spa town that has been told from generation to generation.
The Chocolate Festival gives this story a new life. The festival features a chocolate fair, a truffle and cake competition, workshops and good live music.
The Haapsalu promenade around Kuursaal is once again filled with hot chocolate aromas. The best taste experiences are brought to you by Estonia’s best master chocolatiers.
