If you find yourself in Tallinn during the winter months, I highly recommend paying a visit to Kadriorg Park. The park is absolutely stunning in the wintertime, with a thick blanket of snow covering the landscape and creating a serene and ethereal atmosphere. The trees, heavy with snow, seem to bend under the weight, creating a picturesque and picturesque scene.
One of the things that I loved most about visiting Kadriorg Park in the winter was the feeling of being completely immersed in nature. The park is large enough that you can easily find a quiet spot to take in the beauty of the winter landscape, and the absence of leaves on the trees allows for long views across the park.
Overall, Kadriorg Park in the winter is a truly breathtaking and peaceful experience that is sure to leave you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. It's a perfect place to spend a day with family and friends, so be sure to add it to your itinerary if you're...

He wanted a new European-style summer residence near Tallinn which became Kadriorg Palace. The construction started in the summer of 1718 led by Italian 🇮🇹 architect Nicola Michetti.
Between 1718 and 1723, Michetti lived in Russia Russia, and became employed by Peter the great as court architect.

Read moreThis is a beautiful, well-manicured park right near downtown Tallinn. If you’re visiting Estonia, this is definitely one of the places you should go to, and the best part about it is walking around the ponds, gardens, and forests is free! You can get wonderful photos and enjoy nature without having to pay a big fee. This park is not too far from Tallinn’s old section, but pretty far to walk, so I would recommend getting one of the e-scooters and riding down closer to the park if possible. It generally is very nice temperature-wise in summer, but when we visited it was during a heat wave (almost 90°F) so be sure to bring water! Good thing is, there are sometimes people who have little food trucks selling iced coffee, lemonade, and ice cream right next to the park…though don’t count on them being here. All in all, I really like this park, it’s quite grand, and definitely one of the prettiest parts of Tallinn....
