Kadriorg Park features the symmetrical Swan Lake and a promenade leading to the Kadriorg Palace.Nice open place to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of the old town. Interesting places to walk around, you might even see the president. Definitely one to go to,either walk there or take the Kadriog tram.
Kadriorg, now one of the districts of central Tallinn, originated as a
summer residence of the Russian Tsar Peter the Great and covered,
besides the palace and the regular gardens, over 70 hectares of land. The palace and park ensemble was styled Katharinenthal (Russian Екатериненталь) in honour of Peter the Great's wife Catherine I. This is what the Estonian 'Kadriorg', which became the official name of the palace and park in the 1920s, derives from.
Kadriorg has changed a lot over its 300 years. New buildings have sprung up, new trees have been planted, new city blocks have risen and layers upon layers of history piled up. Despite all these changes, the magnificent palace and park with their eventful history remain the heart of Kadriorg and the wellspring of the district's identity. Kadriorg Park is one of the most beautiful historic parks in the entire Northern Europe. Thanks to the natural characteristics of its location it contains features of Italian, French and Dutch Baroque parks.
