Animal shelter public organization "SAAREMAA LT"

Among all the cities of Estonia, in addition to the capital of Tallinn, Kuressaare is particularly noteworthy. It is located in the south of the island of Saaremaa. In fact, this is the only settlement on the island that can be considered a city. Every year, thousands of holidaymakers from all over the world visit Kuressaare, who can admire the amazing nature and architecture, taste the dishes of the national Estonian cuisine and relax in the spas. Experienced tourists are advised to come to Kuressaare in the summer season. Although even in winter you can have a good (and most importantly - cheap) rest. The period from December to March often pleases holidaymakers with fine days, but high humidity and slight frosts may still spoil the impression. In summer, you can sunbathe on the beach in Kuressaare. The places for rest are well equipped, so that you can spend time with the whole family. For children there are special areas. Of particular interest are animal sculptures located along the entire beach. And in the yacht port parents have the opportunity to rent a double kayak. A romantic walk through the Gulf of Riga will bring a lot of pleasant sensations, including the newlyweds. If you move a little away from the Castle Park, you can find a tennis court equipped with several playgrounds. Tennis classes are held here daily, so that every vacationer can try their hand at this sport. In the town of Kuressaare there is a shooting range of archers. In addition, the local Health Park offers everyone to go on a real walk along the pedestrian paths. By the way, in the winter season in this park you can ride a skating rink. Among the sights of Kuressaare, the castle of the same name with the Saaremaa Museum located in it stands out. For the Estonian people this is a real national treasure. The castle was built in the Middle Ages and successfully preserved to this day. This sight is characterized by strict forms and the absence of unnecessary decorative elements. In the second half of the XVII century, another architectural value of the city was built - the Town Hall. You should visit it at least for the sake of the biggest ceiling painting in all of Estonia. Town Hall was built in the Baroque style. Being in Kuressaare, you can not ignore the church of St. Nicholas. It is also called the “Estonian phoenix”. The fact is that the temple burned down twice and was reborn. Kuressaare is one of the most beautiful cities not only in Estonia, but also in the whole Baltic States. Local beauty will not leave indifferent any tourist.
