From the era of the Romanovs to the modern day

The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia for over three hundred years, and held the lands of Estonia for roughly two centuries, leaving a definite mark on the memories of the local people. But Tallinn was more than just another city for them. After Peter the Great conquered the Estonian lands in the 18^th century, he constructed a summer palace and park in the city of Tallinn, which many of his descendants would visit for centuries.

Since the fall of the Russian Empire, this palace has been home to the president of Estonia, both Nazi and Soviet occupiers and now, the museum of foreign art.

Here you can finds park architecture and designs ranging from the 17th to the 21st centuries, listen to a wide variety of sing birds, visit the Japanese garden and find an abundance of museums, cafes, restaurants and park benches to enjoy the moment.
