- drzewkoCentral Poland, Poland550 contributionsNajpiękniejszy Pałac w TallinnieBarokowy Pałac Kadriorg zbudowany został przez Cara Piotra I w XVIII wieku. Położony jest w północno-wschodniej części Tallinna. Odrestaurowany w 1991 roku, od 2000 roku jest Muzeum Sztuki z imponującą i zachwycającą kolekcją rzeźb, obrazów i sztuki użytkowej. Zachwyt budzi Biała Sala. Za Pałacem mieści się rozległy na 100 hektarów i piękny park w stylu angielskim i francuskim. Polecam ten obiekt.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 16, 2024

We visited Kadriorg Palace since we already had a Tallinn card (so entry was included) and we were continuing on to Pirita Monastery. Probably wouldn’t have bothered otherwise. It was easy to get to the Palace by tram although there wasn’t a lot of signage at the tram stop to point us in the right direction but if you follow the crowd you won’t go wrong. The Palace looks attractive from the outside but the art collections inside are fairly modest. Overall a bit of an underwhelming experience but considering we had just come from St Petersburg, most places would fade into insignificance compared to the great palaces there.

This Baroque palace was founded by Tsar Peter I of Russia in 1718. It was named Kadriorg in honor of his wife Catherine I. The richly decorated main hall is especially stunning.
The palace is surrounded by an imposing Versailles-like garden with fountains, fences, and flower plantings.
Today, the palace houses the Kadriorg Art Museum which presents Western European and Russian art from the 16th to the 20th centuries.

I visited the palace and gardens on my first day in Tallinn. The museum has some wonderful works of art and was a pleasure to wonder.
There was a helpful security guard that helped guide me to the lockers for my bags. Language was a bit of a barrier but he did good. I have to say I felt a little uncomfortable when getting my ticket for the gallery as the woman serving seemed quite short and unimpressed with me. It left me wondering if language would be a huge barrier for my trip to Tallinn. It was a nice little visit though and the gardens are really nice for a wander after.
I am pleased to say that much of Tallinn, over my three days in the city, made up for any bad vibes from day one.

Already from the outside this castle will delight you, its beautiful colorful facades give it a very photogenic style, it is located in a large park with paths which highlight this building, I imagine myself in season with a maintained garden and flowered with the fountains in operation, it must be superb. Otherwise its interior is also beautiful, busts and plasterwork, large rooms with beautiful ornate ceilings, some period furniture, a ceremonial staircase! earthenware stoves...

It was a very hot day and this was a lovely sheltered place to visit. The gardens are nice and the history is very interesting. It was a Monday so the gallery was closed unfortunately. We took an Uber from our hotel which was very easy and inexpensive. The planting plan by the rectangular lake is lovely and we also visited the promenade.

Took the Tram #3 from my hotel next to old town. The tram stops at the side of the park and then just a short walk to the palace. The palace was small but very colorful. The garden in the back was still pretty much empty as the planting process was starting. The palace had a spanish painting exhibit taking place. I used my Tallinn card for the entrance as well as the tram. The exhibit and the permanent collection is pretty small and really nothing special. I think I would have liked it better if they kept the furnishing and other artifacts at it's high point under the Czar.

Is the palace close to the cruise port terminal? Can one easily walk to the palace?
Written June 25, 2017
Depends on how much time you have and if you like walking - it will be about 2 miles from the cruise port, so at least half an hour walk.

Should I buy ticktets in advance or at the palace

Should I but tickets in advance of at the castle?
Written June 30, 2016
Yep, really no need. Also, if you've got Tallinn card, your entrance there is free with the card. If you plan to visit more museums during your trip, I'd highly recommend getting one.
