What can arguably be considered to be Tallinn's main attractions are located in the [[Vanalinn|old town of Tallinn]] (divided into a "lower town" and [[Toompea|Toompea hill]]) which is easily explored on foot. The eastern parts of the city, notably [[Pirita]] (with [[Pirita Convent]]) and [[Kadriorg]] (with [[Kadriorg Palace]]) districts, are also popular destinations, and the [[Estonian Open Air Museum]] in [[Rocca al Mare]], west of the city, preserves aspects of Estonian rural culture and architecture.
=== Toompea – Upper Town ===
{{main article|Toompea}}
This area was once an almost separate town, heavily fortified, and has always been the seat of whatever power that has ruled Estonia. The hill occupies an easily defensible site overlooking the surrounding districts. The major attractions are the medieval [[Toompea Castle]] (today housing the Estonian Parliament, the ''[[Riigikogu]]''), the [[Russian Orthodox]] [[Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Tallinn|Alexander Nevsky Cathedral]] and the [[Lutheran]] [[St Mary's Cathedral, Tallinn|St Mary's Cathedral]], also known as the Dome Church ({{lang-et|Toomkirik}}).
=== All-linn – Lower Town ===
This area is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe and the authorities are continuing its rehabilitation. Major sights include the [[Town Hall Square, Tallinn|Town Hall square]] ({{lang-et|Raekoja plats }}), the [[Walls of Tallinn|city wall]] and towers (notably "[[Estonian Maritime Museum#Fat Margaret|Fat Margaret]]" and "[[Kiek in de Kök, Tallinn|Kiek in de Kök]]") as well as a number of medieval churches, including [[St. Olaf's Church, Tallinn|St Olaf's]], [[St. Nicholas' Church, Tallinn|St. Nicholas']] and the [[Church of the Holy Ghost, Tallinn|Church of the Holy Ghost]].
=== Kadriorg ===
{{main article|Kadriorg}}
This is {{convert|2|km|1|abbr=off}} east of the city centre and is served by buses and trams. [[Kadriorg Palace]], the former palace of [[Peter the Great]], built just after the [[Great Northern War]], now houses the foreign art department of the [[Art Museum of Estonia]], the presidential residence and the surrounding grounds include formal gardens and woodland.
The main building of the Art Museum of Estonia, [[KUMU (museum)|Kumu]] ({{lang-et|Kunstimuuseum}}, Art Museum), was built in 2006 and lies in Kadriorg park. It houses an encyclopaedic collection of Estonian art, including paintings by [[Carl Timoleon von Neff]], [[Johann Köler]], [[Eduard Ole]], [[Jaan Koort]], [[Konrad Mägi]], [[Eduard Wiiralt]], Henn Roode and [[Adamson-Eric]], among others.
=== Pirita ===
{{main article|Pirita}}
This coastal district is a further 2 kilometres north-east of Kadriorg. The marina was built for the [[1980 Summer Olympics|Moscow Olympics]] of 1980, and boats can be hired on the [[Pirita River]]. Two kilometres inland are the [[Tallinn Botanic Garden|Botanic Gardens]] and the [[Tallinn TV Tower]].
