Kadriorg is a large beautiful park, in which, in addition to the Kadriorg Palace (rather modest in size and decoration) and a small house in which the picky creator of Kadriorg, the Russian Tsar Peter I, lived, there are many other interesting objects. This is primarily a swan pond, which served as the backdrop for the film "Mary Poppins, Goodbye! " - It was here that the world-famous nanny sang a song about the "Wind of Change". This is a Japanese garden and a magnificent rose garden. The residence of the President of the Republic of Estonia is located in Kadriorg (you can see the changing of the guard), as well as several museums: the Miyamilla Children's Museum, the Kumu Art Museum, the house-museum of the classic of Estonian literature Eduard Vilde .
