Kadriorg Park
About

Kadriorg Park is Tallinn’s grandest historic park, spanning over 70 hectares of landscaped beauty. Commissioned by Tsar Peter the Great in 1718 alongside Kadriorg Palace, the park was designed in the Baroque style by Italian architect Nicola Michetti. Its formal gardens feature terraced flowerbeds, tree-lined avenues, and the elegant Swan Pond, while later additions include an English-style landscape park and a tranquil Japanese Garden. Kadriorg Park is also home to several cultural institutions, including the KUMU Art Museum, Kadriorg Art Museum, and Mikkeli Museum, making it a hub of both natural and artistic heritage. Sculptures and monuments honouring Estonian cultural figures are scattered throughout the grounds, adding layers of meaning to the serene setting. Whether for a leisurely stroll, a cultural visit, or seasonal events, Kadriorg Park offers a harmonious blend of imperial history, artistic expression, and urban greenery in the heart of Tallinn.
