Quick Facts

  • Baroque palace in Kadriorg Park
  • Built as a summer residence for Peter the Great and Catherine I (18th century)
  • Today: closely tied to the Kadriorg Art Museum experience

Why It’s Worth Adding

Kadriorg is Tallinn’s elegant side — and the palace is a big part of that mood. It’s a great contrast to the medieval Old Town.

What to Do (Palace + Park, Not Just a Photo Stop)

Kadriorg Palace works best when you treat it as part of a wider Kadriorg experience:

  • Walk the park paths
  • Spend time at the palace / museum
  • Add one extra Kadriorg stop (Kumu, Japanese Garden, or a long cafe pause)

A Perfect Kadriorg Day Plan

Park walk → palace stop → museum anchor.

Start with Kadriorg and consider pairing with Kumu Art Museum.

Pair It With

After Kadriorg, head to the sea for sunset in Noblessner or take a long walk in Pirita.
