In the first-person shooter video game Squad, the map Narva is loosely based on the real city, containing the Narva Castle, the Ivangorod Fortress, as well as a less similar industrial area in the south side of the city.

Narva is dominated by the 15th-century castle, with the 51-metre-high Long Hermann tower as its most prominent landmark. The sprawling complex of the Kreenholm Manufacture, located in the proximity of scenic waterfalls, is one of the largest textile mills of 19th-century Northern Europe. Other notable buildings include Swedish mansions of the 17th century, a Baroque town hall (1668–71), and remains of Erik Dahlberg's fortifications.
