Kadriorg Park and Palace tickets: what needs admission
Plan the park and the palace as two parts of the visit. You can walk through the public park without buying a palace ticket, while the art museum follows its own opening hours. Decide whether you also want another museum before purchasing admission. Leave space between indoor visits for walking, since the surrounding paths and gardens are part of the outing.

Kadriorg Park and Palace tickets and tours
Public park access
The public park is free to visit. Palace exhibitions and other museums have separate admission arrangements, so a park walk does not require a museum purchase.
Palace museum admission
Buy a ticket for the palace's art museum at the door. Check the official site for current exhibitions, opening days and last admission.
Combined museum admission
A combined ticket can suit a day involving nearby museums. Confirm the participating museums and validity period before buying, rather than assuming every local museum is included.

The best time to visit
Choose a day when the palace museum is open, then arrange the outdoor walk around the weather. Check garden conditions seasonally, and do not rely on flowers being at their best during a particular month.
How to get to Kadriorg Park and Palace
Use the Kadriorg tram terminus and allow about 10 minutes to walk through the park toward the palace. Check the current tram line before traveling. Continuing from the palace toward Kumu adds an uphill walk.
Tips for your visit
- Check the palace museum's opening day before organizing a park visit around an indoor exhibition.
- Confirm exactly which museums a combined ticket includes and whether you can spread visits across separate days.
- Allow walking time between the palace and Kumu rather than scheduling their entrances back to back.
