Life on the Border: Narva Stories and Flavors
Are you ready to experience life on the border between the European Union and Russia?
Join us in Narva on November 8 for the tour “Life on the Border – Flavors on the Border.”
This bold and insightful 1.5-hour city tour dives deep into life on the EU-Russia border and concludes with a tasting of traditional border-town snacks.
Right across the Narva River lies Russia — and here you’ll hear what local Russian-speaking Estonians think and feel about the world today, why Narva is so unique, and why foreign journalists keep asking: “Is Narva next?”
This isn’t a lecture – it’s a conversation. A story told by someone who lives on the border every day – Denis Bjorkland, your guide and the voice of Narva’s complex identity.
The Narva city tour “Life on the Border” led by Denis Bjorkland received the jury’s special award in the category “Authentic Experience and Best Guide” at the “Best New Adventure 2025” competition organized by the Ida-Viru Tourism Cluster.
