Two
captivating neighborhoods just east of the city centre, Kadriorg and
Pirita, are favourite destinations for sightseers looking for what's
beyond Tallinn Old Town.
After Russian emperor Peter the Great conquered the Baltics in the
early 1700s he established an estate and public park on this spot.
Peter named the area Ekaterinenthal (Catherine's valley, or Kadriorg in
Estonian) after his wife Catherine first. The elaborate Baroque Palace
he had built - along with the surrounding forests, ponds and fountains
- are still the neighborhood's prime draw. Over the next two centuries
the streets near the park became lined with ornate wooden mansions as
Kadriorg developed into the upscale residential district thay it
remains today.
During the sightseeing tour you will see Kadriorg Palace, KUMU Art
Museum, Peter's the Great's Cottage. Afterwards you will visit
angel-shaped statue Rusalka on Kadriorg's beach and Tallinn Song
Festival Grounds.
In the second part of the sightseeing is planned Pirita district visit
which is placed a little farther down the soreline from Kadriorg. With
its 3 km stretch of sand beach and a yachting harbor, Pirita is best
known as a centre for summer frolicking. Pirita is also worth visiting
for its own bit of Medieval architecture – the ruins of St.
Bridget's Convent.
As optional we offer to visit Tallinn Botanical Garden near Pirita.

Garden is the best place in Tallinn to stop and smell the flowers.
