Kadriorg Park is the most outstanding palatial and urban park in Estonia, covering around 70 hectares. Its construction began in 1718 on the orders of Russian tsar Peter I. Elements of park design from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries can be seen here. The most popular places for a stroll in the park are the flower beds surrounding the Swan Pond and the promenade leading from there to the president's palace. There are a number of museums in the park, including KUMU (the Estonian Art Museum), Kadriorg Art Museum and the Mikkeli Museum, as well as monuments to such cultural figures as sculptor Amandus Adamson, author F. R. Kreutzwald and artist Jaan Koort.

Naissaar - Womens island - is prefect island to go in the morning and come back in the evening. If you admire nature/hiking/walking/private areas. The island has different nature in every sides, it is special beauty in Autumn, when there is red lingonberries and colorful leaves. As it is old navy-island, the nature has taken over the old houses etc militar area. Romantic!

I recommend booking your tour of the bastion passages in advance. Their website should have details. And bring a sweater. It is cool in the tunnels, ca 10 degrees. Your experience in the tunnels depends on your guide. Make sure to also check out the museum in the tower - take the winding stairs up to each floor, and also enjoy the view out over the city!
