If you like to see unusual and a very peaceful landscape then I definitely suggest visiting Soomaa. The experience is guaranteed.
2. Oru Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 104 reviews
The Oru Park and grand palace in the beautiful valley of the Puhajogi River was built by Grigori Jelissejev – one of the wealthiest men in 19th century Russia. In 1935, three industrialists bought the palace and park and presented it to President Pats for his summer residence. The palace was totally destroyed during the Second World War. Today you can walk in the well-marked and well-maintained park, look at various species of trees and shrubs, explore the Silver Spring Cave, as well as enoy the sea view and the sunset from the petrel nest. Interesting fact: the Oru Park Promenade organized annually in August has become a tradition.

This beautiful cathedral, though fairly typical for Russian cathedrals, adds a wonderful fancy touch to the overall feel of Tallinn. You can enter, but be quiet and respectful. Hats off, don’t disturb anyone, and you can’t take pictures. Enjoy the beautiful icons and the majestic serenity of this place. Definitely worth a stop.

You can stop by the beautiful palace, visit the President's residence, take you little ones to the amusement park, see the rose garden with roses from all over the world or just stop and say hi to the President's bees.

It’s worth the climb along cobbled streets for the views across Tallinn to the sea and the perfectly maintained network of old buildings.

Everyone must visit the Old Town Square (Raekoja Plats) in the heart of Tallinn where there are many beautiful fine buildings fringing the square and creating a wonderful atmosphere. The famous Christmas market was on when we were there which made the square particularly scenic with the large Christmas tree, fairy lights and many stalls selling hot toddies and tasty snacks as well as many Christmas decorations and souvenirs.

The old town with narrow pedestrian streets has a lot of interesting places: the Leaning house-, the Kissing Students fountain , the well-restored Town hall and houses on Town Hall square, a statue of Oscar Wilde, well-preserved wooden houses of the mid-18th century - Tartu toy museum and Theatre House. No less impressive is the Toome Hill Park with memorials to the university's best persons, the Angel's and the Devil's bridges, and the Cathedral ruins in a part of which the museum of Tartu University settles.
