The experience
The tour begins at the City Bike office in Old Town and heads through Tallinn's newer port district before following Reidi Road along the seashore. This waterfront stretch connects the port to Pirita Road and carries views across the water throughout. The route then enters Kadriorg Park, a 70-hectare palatial and urban park whose design spans the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries: construction started in 1718 on orders from Russian Tsar Peter I.
Kadriorg Palace sits at the park's center: a Baroque palace and grounds built over 300 years ago as a summer residence for Peter the Great. Today it houses an Art Museum displaying paintings, prints and sculptures from Western Europe and Russia. From there, the route reaches the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds, a venue built to hold up to 15,000 singers under its arch and room for 100,000 spectators in the surrounding area. The tour also passes the City Hall, completed for the 1980 Moscow Olympics, whose waterfront location and pyramid-like design have made it a cultural landmark for residents.
Your guide speaks English and shares knowledge of Estonian history and culture throughout the ride. Bikes come equipped with winter tires with spikes if conditions demand them. A coffee or tea stop happens midway to let you warm up before continuing.
Is this one for you?The three-hour pace and winter conditions mean dressing warmly and being comfortable on a bike in cold weather. If you're used to cycling and don't mind the chill, the route covers major sights (palace, park, waterfront and festival grounds), in a single morning without the time or logistics of separate visits.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (7 to 12 years); Infant (1 to 6 years).
What is Kadriorg Park like to cycle through in winter?
Kadriorg Park covers 70 hectares and mixes design elements from three centuries, starting with its 1718 construction for Peter I. The grounds include the Baroque palace at its center and tree-lined paths that work for winter cycling when conditions are right.
How much of the tour follows the water?
Reidi Road runs the full length along the seashore from the port area to Pirita Road, and that waterfront stretch is a main feature of the route. The City Hall sits on the waterfront too, so water views carry through much of the morning.
What do I need to know about the Song Festival Grounds?
The Tallinn Song Festival Grounds host Estonia's Song Festival and the region's largest outdoor concerts. The arch can hold up to 15,000 singers, with space for 100,000 people in the surrounding area, making it one of the largest performance venues in the country.
Do I need to enter the museums and palaces?
Entrance to any sights or museums is not included in the tour price. You cycle past Kadriorg Palace and through the park, but entry to the Art Museum inside the palace is separate if you want to visit.
