- Lihula Castle hill (Linnamägi) — the raised earthwork where the medieval stronghold once stood; good for a short walk, imagining the town’s medieval past and spotting information plaques about the site’s role in regional history.
- Lihula Museum (Lihula Muuseum) — compact local museum covering the town’s archaeology, folk life and more recent history; small exhibits give a surprisingly clear picture of the area and are ideal if you want context after touring the castle hill.
- St. Mary’s Church (Lihula kirik) — a historic parish church with traditional Estonian churchyard atmosphere; the building and graves tell stories of generations from the surrounding countryside.
- Lihula Manor park (mõisa park) — peaceful old-park trees, walking paths and a pond near the former manor house; a pleasant

- Lihula Manor park (mõisa park) — peaceful old-park trees, walking paths and a pond near the former manor house; a pleasant place to chill, picnic and see remnants of the area’s landed estates.
- Market square / town centre — the small central square where locals meet, shop and hold seasonal markets; best visited on market days for fresh produce, a sense of everyday life and a few cafés.
- Lihula Cultural Centre (Kultuurimaja) — local performances, exhibitions and folk events happen here; check the schedule — you’ll catch real community life and occasional concerts or craft markets.
- War and memorial sites around town — Lihula’s public memorials and plaques commemorate local losses and historic events; they’re modest but meaningful, and good for anyone wanting to understand local memory and identity.
- Old cemetery and funerary monuments — a quiet spot with older headstones and carved memorials; useful for anyone interested in genealogy, symbolism or simply a reflective walk among historic markers.
- Town sports grounds and outdoor pool complex — more than exercise gear: they’re a social hub in summer, where families gather and you can mingle with locals (and cool off if the weather allows).
- Short urban nature walks — easy paths, small ponds and green corridors within town limits that showcase local birdlife and flora; great for a half-hour nature stop without leaving Lihula proper.
