On the other side of Kadriorg Palace, you’ll come to the Estonian ‘White House’ located inside the dominant Palace Square with its pink exterior.
Cycle your way to the Song Festival Grounds. This large event venue holds a very special place in Estonian’s hearts as the birthplace of the Singing Revolution since 1869. Immerse yourself in the view of the sea here and the Old Town of Tallinn, a fabulous place for a photo opportunity!
