    Restoran Lilli

    Grab a pasta or hot dish at Restoran Lilli. It is the only restaurant in the city, operating more like a café or cafeteria. The atmosphere is simple and the prices are low.

    Valga Town Park

    Walk nine minutes to Valga Town Park. It is a green space just northeast of the Orthodox Church. It is a quiet place to stretch your legs and enjoy the open air.

    Orthodox Church

    Stand before the Orthodox Church as the golden light hits the towers. Built between 1897 and 1898, the church features towers similar in shape to Saint Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow. The interior is pretty and spacious, but the exterior is the main draw in this light.

    Linnapark

    End your walk at Linnapark. It is located nine minutes northeast of the church, offering a peaceful spot to sit and reflect on the afternoon.
