Kadriorg Palace (Tallinn) The question of what to visit in Estonia resolves itself when you find yourself in the center of Tallinn, a short walk from the Old Town. Tallinn's Kadriorg Palace, together with the adjacent park, is an important historical landmark in Estonia. The fresh sea air, abundance of greenery and picturesque alleys of Kadriorg Park have made it a popular stroll destination for locals and visitors. At the head of all this splendor is a beautiful palace, whose history dates back to the times of the Great Northern War (first quarter of 18th century), when Russian Emperor Peter I, after conquering the Estonian lands, ordered to build here a mini Versailles for his wife Catherine. In this connection, the palace was originally called Katerinental, but later the local townspeople still renamed it in their own manner - Kadriorg, which translates as "Kadri Valley".

The Narva Castle (Narva) The main symbol of the Estonian border town of Narva is a unique Estonian landmark - the Narva Castle or Hermann Castle. Situated right above the Narva River, the castle formed a harmonious architectural composition with Ivangorod Fortress. Narva Castle was erected in 13th century on the place of the former wooden fortress at the time when Narva still belonged to the territory of Denmark. After the Danes sold the Narva lands to the Livonian Order, the castle was significantly strengthened. The Narva territory was additionally protected by the outside wall. The high tower-duzhon was erected as well.

Saaremaa Island (northern part of the Gulf of Riga of the Baltic Sea) When the so-called "Iron Curtain" collapsed, the diversity of interesting and unfamiliar places in the former CIS became apparent. Thanks to this, many travelers today have something to visit in Estonia, and the island of Saaremaa is a prime example. This island once played the role of an important strategic point of our army. While the place was untouched due to its secrecy, its ecology could not be spoiled by industrial emissions or by-products of large ports.
The largest Estonian island is located in the western part of the country and is part of the Moundsunda Archipelago. It is also the 4th largest island in the Baltic Sea. Nowadays the island is very popular among tourists, attracting them with its pristine nature, ancient architectural monuments and modern resorts. Here everyone can find something to do, whether it is fishing, horseback riding, jet skiing or quad bike racing.

Парк Тойл-Ору (г. Тойла, Финский залив)
На берегу Финского залива, в долине реки Пюхайыги, расположился маленький курортный городок Тойла, который пользуется популярностью среди местных жителей. Наряду с прекрасной природой и чистым морем, здесь расположилась великолепная достопримечательность Эстонии — парк Тойла-Ору, созданный на рубеже 19-20 веков вокруг дворца зажиточного петербургского купца Елисеева. Оформлением парка занимался знаменитый по тем временам рижский архитектор Георг Купхалт.

Ландшафты парка, имеющего площадь около 80 гектаров, отличаются разнообразием и особой красотой. Здесь обрывистый берег Финского залива поднимается над уровнем моря на высоту до 50 метров, а в глубокой долине, образованной ещё в эпоху доледникового периода, протекает извилистая и бурная речка Пюхайыги.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (Tallinn) Visitors to the aforementioned Old Town in Tallinn have a lot to see in Estonia. The monuments alone in this small area are enough for many days of sightseeing. For example, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral has become an important religious site in Tallinn. The five-domed cross-domed church was erected at the end of the 19th century and is decorated in the Neo-Byzantine style. The author of the project was the famous Russian architect Preobrazhensky, and the temple itself symbolized the memory of the extraordinary rescue of Blessed Prince Alexander III Nevsky during a train crash. In 1988 the train in which the royal family was returning from a vacation in the Crimea, derailed, and only a few cars survived. The prince, who had great strength, held on to his shoulders the collapsed ceiling of the car until the last moment, while members of his family got out from under the wreckage.

Toompea Castle (Tallinn) Toompea Castle deserves special attention as an item on your sightseeing program, which has already been mentioned as a key attraction of the Old Town.
For several centuries Toompea has been a symbol of Estonian state power, and today it is one of Estonia's main landmarks. The area of the castle is about 9,000 square meters, and it rises 50 meters above sea level. The history of the castle started in the 13th century. It was built on the territory of the wooden settlement of Estonians. The location of the castle on the high, almost vertical hill made it impregnable and well-defended. According to legend, this hill was created by Linda - widow of Kalev, the leader of Estonians. After his death, inconsolable widow dragged the boulders to her husband's grave, which eventually formed this hill.
