Description:
The splendour of Haapsalu, the famous Czarist era resort, is recalled by the seafront Promenade and its jewel – the Assembly Hall. Walk on the promenade and glance dreamily at the sea; check the time at the sundial and have a rest on the bench named for the world-famous composer Tchaikovsky. The promenade is also a popular place for the local wheelchair users for fishing. The Promenade starts at the exotically named Africa Beach. There is a children’s play-ground in the beginning of the route, and the town’s only birdwatching tower. Near the end of the promenade there is a wheelchair skills training park and an accessible outdoor gym. Next to it is a special playground that is wheelchair accessible and adapted to children with special needs. The promenade is paved, spacious and well accessible.
