About Rakvere
Rakvere nowadays represents a small city, with the population of only about 15,5 thousands of people, located in the North of Estonia. The city is considered the sixth largest city in the whole country. The city was mentioned in the local chronicles for the very first time in the XIII-th century and nowadays it is considered one of the most visited Estonian travel destinations among the foreign travelers.
The tourism industry is developed quite well in Rakvere. The city offers its guests a rather large number of the most varied tourist entertainments, including various local museums, theater, restaurants and cafes. Besides that, even though that the city of Rakvere is not as big as the popular cities of the Estonian neighbors, there is a quite large number of ancient monuments and historical sightseeings that are literally spread all over the city and its surroundings. Numerous ancient churches, picturesque ruins of the old castle, narrow cobbled streets and the special atmosphere of the ancient times make the city guests feel like they have just got into the real Middle Ages.
