Which areas of the Old Town should tourists avoid at night? Most of Tallinn's Old Town is safe to walk at night, but the area around some of the busier bars and nightclubs, particularly on and around Suur-Karja and Väike-Karja streets, can get rowdy late in the evening.

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.

Note that it is free to enter the park, which remains open at all times. The museums each have their own hours. Find Kadriorg Park in the eastern section of the city. It is easy to access due to its eponymous tram station and the many bus stops surrounding the park.
