Tallinn - Kadriorg Park

Kadriorg park is a little East of the old walled town. It has magnificent grounds and was a pleasant walk.
 One of the highlights is the Kadriorg Palace which houses an art museum. It was built by Peter the Great for Czarina Catherine as a summer cottage.
 This park is very popular for wedding photos.
 The back of the "summer cottage".
 They had several of these covered walkways.
The presidential home, also in the park behind the palace, is a lovely sun reflecting colour.
 Also comes with young guards who stand perfectly still...until you step on the first step. Visitors should be accompanies by proper officials.
 Also...squirrel!
