Admire the city’s medieval walls and watchtowers before taking the short walk up Toompea Hill into the Upper Old Town. Opposite colourful Toompea Castle in Palace Square, gaze up at the mesmerising ‘onion’ domes of St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and step inside to discover its golden icons and mosaics. Explore the handsome Dome Church – the city’s oldest place of worship – and soak up arresting views across the red roofs of the Lower Old Town. Keen to pick up a souvenir? Browse the small shops that line the cobblestone streets. Founded by Peter the Great, Kadriorg Palace boasts some of northern Europe’s best-preserved baroque architecture and its ornate Palace Rooms house collections for the Art Museum of Estonia.
