Lonely Planet review

Kadriorg park is pleasant and wooded, with oak, lilac and horse chestnut trees. It has long been city residents' favourite strolling grounds. Weekends are especially popular among cyclists, sun-tanners and leisure-seekers but the park is so spacious it never feels crowded.

Together with the baroque Kadriorg Palace, which lies at its heart, it was designed for the Russian tsar, Peter the Great, by the Italian Niccolo Michetti, soon after Peter's conquest of Estonia in the Great Northern War.
