- Jõhvi St. Michael’s Church (Jõhvi Mihkli kirik) — One of the town’s oldest landmarks: a medieval stone church with a calm graveyard and weathered interior details. It gives a real sense of how this place sat on old trade and parish routes.
- Jõhvi Concert Hall (Jõhvi Kontserdimaja) — A surprisingly modern cultural hub with music, theatre and exhibitions. Even if you don’t catch a show, the building and its programming reflect the town’s contemporary cultural pulse.
- Jõhvi Cultural Centre & Art Gallery — Small but active: rotating local exhibitions, community events and occasional crafts markets. Great for meeting local creatives and getting a feel for everyday life here.
- Jõhvi Manor and Park (Jõhvi mõis) — The manor grounds and parkland offer pleasant walks and old trees; the manor’s remnants

- Jõhvi Manor and Park (Jõhvi mõis) — The manor grounds and parkland offer pleasant walks and old trees; the manor’s remnants anchor the town’s rural-gentry past and are good for a quiet stroll or photos.
- Jõhvi Railway Station — An easy-to-visit slice of travel history on the Tallinn-Narva line. The station area is useful for people-watching and understanding Jõhvi’s role as a regional transport junction.
- Town Square and Market Area — The local square (Raekoja/center area) hosts markets and everyday commerce. It’s where residents run errands, meet friends and you can sample affordable local snacks or produce.
- Jõhvi City Park (Linnapark) — A compact green space with paths, benches and playgrounds; a pleasant place to relax, picnic or watch local life unfold without leaving the central area.
- Old Cemetery and Memorial Monuments — Historic graves, memorial plaques and modest monuments tell layers of the town’s past—religious, wartime and civic. Worth a reflective walk for context.
- Local Sports & Recreation Complex (ice rink / sports halls) — Jõhvi has active community sports facilities where you can catch a local hockey game or join a public skate; good for experiencing everyday local culture in a hands-on way.
- Neighborhood Shops, Cafés and Soviet-era Street Architecture — Not a single landmark but a patchwork of real-life spots: old cafés, grocery stalls and the late-20th-century apartment blocks that together show how people actually live here. Walk a few blocks off the main road to absorb authentic urban texture.
