Hiking

The Governor's Garden on Toompea Hill is a hidden gem in Tallinn. Offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, this charming garden is perfect for a moment of quiet reflection. Its location near historical landmarks such as the Tallinn Parliament and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral makes it a convenient stop when exploring the area.

Hiking

Day 4. A zig zag 250km drive from Saaremaa Island to Haapsalu castle first on the NW Estonian coastline and then onwards to Tallin. The historic centre of Tallin is UNESCO rated and justifiably so. Toompea castle and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral are simply stunning as is the rest of the town. The weather was a nice spring like 22c today too so everything looked great.
The governor's garden is behind the palace and is a nice place to have a walk.
