- CodyDCWashington DC, District of Columbia6,946 contributionsVisited the palace and art gallery as first time visitor to Tallinn. Palace had a colorful facade, the art was just okTook 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.Visited June 2024Travelled soloWritten 30 June 2024
- drzewkoCentral Poland, Poland529 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 2024Travelled with familyWritten 16 July 2024

I had seen this was a place to check out when in Tallinn and I thought the building looked neat so when in Tallinn I decided to check it out. I was not sure if I wanted to just take photos of the outside and go in and check out the art but when I got there I figured why not go inside also. I'm not really a art person but for 9 euros I think you get your moneys worth. I enjoyed checking out the art amazing how old some were back to 1600's. So I recommend this place for some cool photos when in Tallinn but even if you are not an art person like me go inside I dont think you will be disappointed.

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.

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.

We wanted to visit Kadriorg Palace simply to see this lovely Tsar's palace built in the Roman Baroque fashion and the bit of Russian history associated with Peter I and Catherine. We were taking the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus that day and knew this was one of the stops...this made it quite convenient to get there, spend an hour or so and then get back on the bus. Additionally, if you purchase the Tallinn card admission to the palace is free.
I was happy to just be there to take pictures of the palace exterior and the grounds...which are lovely in the winter but I'm sure are absolutely stunning in the spring and summer months...but having the opportunity to go inside and walk around (and take photos by the way) was an added bonus. I understand that much of the art displayed throughout are copies but that didn't diminish the experience.

Is the palace close to the cruise port terminal? Can one easily walk to the palace?
Written 25 June 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 30 June 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.
