Kadriorg is located in the eastern part of Tallinn and includes a large park with a baroque presidential palace, built by Peter the Great during the occupation of Estonia.

Kadriorg is also home to another futuristic building, the 7-storey high KUMU Gallery, which houses works by Estonian artists from the 18th century to the present day (such as works by Adamson-Eric) as well as other museums.

And if you want to see a bit more of nature, visit the nearby Japanese Garden.

Relax in the park

Kadriorg Park is the largest green space near Tallinn city centre and a very popular spot on nice sunny days.

The park is very diverse. The parts around the palaces and museums are beautifully landscaped in the style of an English garden, while the rest of the park is more of a wild forest with illuminated paths with benches running through it.

There is a free Japanese garden at the northern edge of the park.
