Kadriorg Palace

Kadriorg Palace is a Baroque residence built by Peter the Great in the early 18th century, set amid landscaped gardens just east of Tallinn’s Old Town. Its ornate halls and painted ceilings house the Art Museum of Estonia’s foreign collection, spanning Western European and Russian art. Visitors come for the palace’s architecture, curated exhibitions, and the surrounding park with fountains, ponds, and seasonal flowerbeds. It’s an easy half-day visit: combine art viewing with a stroll through Kadriorg Park and nearby Kumu Art Museum. Best for travelers interested in history, European art, and serene green spaces within city reach.
