Tallinn – Capital city of Estonia

Tallinn Old Town - Estonia

Tallinn Old Town - Estonia

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia with a beautiful medieval old town.

Take time to visit Kadriorg – a large, forested park criss-crossed with paths and home to the Baroque Kadriorg Palace, the Presidential Palace and several museums. The cutting-edge design of the spectacular Kumu museum provides an almost refreshing change from the Old Town’s crooked medieval houses and wobbly streets. You can walk to Kadriorg in 20 minutes but save your legs for the park and museums, and get there on the number 1 or 3 tram from the Viru shopping centre just outside Old Town.
