picture of kadriorg palace

Last weekend, we spent some time in Tallinn, to discover a new part of town which we didn’t know yet.
The first was Kadriorg the estonian Versailles, a Palace built between 1718 and 1736, by the italian architect Niccolo Michetti, For the Tzar Petter the Great as a summer residence For him and his wife Catherine. We wandered through the gardens and made our way to the sea, to the Pirita district. This area of town is the place where all the inhabitants of Tallinn go to to have a little swim on a sunny day like last saturday. It almost looked, in certain aspects, like the mediterranean sea, with people sunbathing in swimsuits or playing beach soccer. As for us, there was a little too much wind and we prefered to have a dip in a Spa Hotel, with a swimming pool, Sauna, Hammam, everything to put back in shape two tired volunteers… a great restaurant after that helped finish a great day in the city !
