Kadriorg Park

Tallinn's Aleksander Nevski Katedraali is not the sole relic of Russian influence. Additionally, you can see it in Kadriorg Park and the palace housed within, both of which Czar Peter the Great ordered in 1718 for his wife Catherine. The most notable palace and urban park in Estonia, Kadriorg Park, is about 70 hectares large.

The lush 70-hectare area is the go-to spot for a big dose of nature therapy in the city and is located about four kilometers east of Tallinn's Old Town. The flower beds surrounding the Swan Pond and the promenade extending from there to the president's mansion are the most well-liked spots in the park to take a stroll. Visitors will discover a magnificent swan pond, a tranquil Japanese garden, blossoming flowerbeds put out in geometric designs, and an English landscape park with an oak wood.

The Kadriorg Palace is the most noteworthy of the park's spectacular structures, which are in addition to the natural beauty of the area. The magnificent three-level structure, which was modeled after Italian palaces of the era and constructed as an imperial summer residence in the early eighteenth century, today houses the Estonian Art Museum's collection of foreign artwork from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. The Estonian president works in the salmon-pink, Neo-Baroque Office of the President of the Republic, which is located north of the palace. The Kadriorg park is home to several museums, such as KUMU (the Estonian Art Museum), Kadriorg Art Museum, and Mikkeli Museum, as well as memorials to famous artists and writers like Amandus Adamson, F. R. Kreutzwald, and Jaan Koort.
