Experience Tallinn, Estonia's Capital City, on a narrated drive and walking tour during this exciting half-day journey. Board your motorcoach for a ride to Palace Square. In the square you will see Toompea Castle, the current home of Estonia's Parliament. Next visit a historic Russian Orthodox Cathedral. Continue on to St. Mary's Cathedral. Simply called the 'Dome Church' by locals, St. Mary's Cathedral is the city's oldest church. Inside you will see elaborate medieval tombs and more than 60 medieval coats of arms. Next, head to the outlook point beyond Dome Church and take in panoramic views of Tallinn's red-gabled rooftops and copper church spires. Board your motorcoach and head to Kadriorg Palace. The well-preserved palace's main hall is one of the best examples of Baroque architecture in all of Northern Europe. The palace rooms are currently used as part of the Foreign Art Museum of Estonia. After visiting the museum, enjoy the colorful gardens surrounding the palace.
