[2025 Tallinn Attraction] Travel Guide for Kadriorg Park (Updated Jun)

Actually, choosing Tallinn was a bit of an accident. I initially thought it was just a small town, but wow! It turned out to be incredibly photogenic, fun to explore, and so relaxing—completely exceeding my expectations! After planning out these two days, I feel Tallinn is perfect for a slow-paced, immersive experience. DAY 1 | A Medieval Dream The first day was entirely spent in the Old Town, which is absolutely stunning—like stepping into a fairytale! I walked around and took photos everywhere: • Tallinn Old Town (Vanalinn): City walls, spires, colorful houses... Every street is breathtakingly beautiful, and every snapshot looks like a postcard. • Town Hall Square: I sat down for a coffee at noon, watching people come and go in the square. It felt like a moment of frozen happiness. • Alexander Nevsky Cathedral: The exterior is awe-inspiring, and the interior has a solemn atmosphere. Stepping inside, you’re surrounded by a sense of history. • Toompea Viewing Platform: A must-visit! You can overlook the entire Old Town and even see the sea in the distance. I spent half an hour here just daydreaming. • Dinner at Restaurant Chedi: Delicious Chinese food in a great setting! The crispy Peking duck and vegetarian dish were amazing! 😋 DAY 2 | Artsy and Off-the-Beaten-Path On the second day, I wanted to experience local life and avoid the tourist crowds: • Kadriorg Park: The park is especially peaceful in the morning. The slow pace of life here is so calming—it’s a great place to unwind. • Estonian Art Museum: Bigger than I expected! I spent about 4 hours exploring it, learning about Estonian history through its art. Highly recommended! • Telliskivi Creative City: The biggest surprise in Tallinn! Full of unique shops, handmade markets, and street art. The vibe is amazing, and I had brunch at F-Hoone—definitely worth trying! Random Tips: • The Old Town streets are quite steep and cobblestoned, so avoid wearing high heels. • Prices are much cheaper than in Finland, so feel free to indulge in meals. • It’s super convenient to travel from Finland. If you’re planning to visit Finland, you can also take a ferry to Helsinki for a side trip!
