Kadriorg Park and Palace – Peaceful gardens

Kadriorg park and palace are located a few kilometers from the Tallinn city center towards east. The place is an oasis near the city, well laid gardens, huge parks and a palace from early 18th century, built by Peter the Great. The building is a museum nowadays.

The palace has also a small English garden with geometric paths and a small maze. When we visited the park on early June, the bushes in the maze were about ten centimeters high, so solving it is not a big feat — maybe they grow taller during summer. Nearby is also a very idyllic swan pond. Bring your girlfriend there for a nice picnic on a sunny day.

The park is just about in walking distance, but remember that taxis are plentiful and cheap in Tallinn.
