Tallinn's Green Escapes

Tallinn's parks offer a blend of medieval history and botanical diversity centered around the Old Town. The Danish King's Garden and Commandant's Garden occupy the slopes of Toompea Hill, marking sites of ancient fortifications. Toompark features the Snelli pond, the last remaining section of the city's moat, while Hirvepark is noted for its dendrological variety. These green spaces, ranging from the small Green Market to the elevated Skoone Bastion, provide quiet retreats within the city's historic districts.
