Kadriorg Park
Kadriorg Park is the most outstanding palatial and urban park in Estonia, covering around 70 hectares. Its construction began in 1718 on the orders of Russian tsar Peter I. Elements of park design from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries can be seen here.
The most popular places for a stroll in the park are the flower beds surrounding the Swan Pond and the promenade leading from there to the president's palace.
There are a number of museums in the park, including KUMU (the Estonian Art Museum), Kadriorg Art Museum and the Mikkeli Museum, as well as monuments to such cultural figures as sculptor Amandus Adamson, author F. R. Kreutzwald and artist Jaan Koort.

We visited the museum and palace.
You have to go to watch the palace, it is beautiful. There are a lot of paintings too. We will come to see the garden in the summer time.

Lovely Park Areas and Russian Emperor Peter's Palace
Worth a trip out (easy tram ride) to Kadriorg Park to wander in the well laid out gardens and visit Peter's old farm house and later palace. Also home to current Estonia president's official house.
