Product Description
Product Description
This 96-page book offers an experts guide to Helsinki, with seven walking tours of the city and three excursions to attractions further afield. In Helsinki, almost every corner reveals another intriguing detail: an elegantly carved facade, a statue, a curved window, or a figurine so full of humour it makes you burst out laughing. This guidebook describes seven walking tours of Finlands coastal capital, followed by three excursions by train or car to interesting towns in southern Finland, plus a day-trip to Talinn, the capital of Estonia, just a short hop across the bay from Helsinki. It also includes a chapter detailing Finland's history and culture, as well as leisure-time suggestions and an information section packed with essential contact addresses and numbers. Plus dozens of full-colour photographs and maps, including a pull-out map that clearly shows all the tours and excursions.

This book is ok in itself. The photography of the city is very good. This book also includes a pull out map of Helsinki, Tampere and Turku with road names and information about the cities. There's alot of information in the book itself about hotels, shopping, eating out, getting about etc, but beware, numbers, days and months at the back of the book have been written in Swedish not Finnish, which may confuse anyone not knowing Finnish, that these two languages are completely different.

Useful Helsinki Guide

This travel guide has nice pictures of Helsinki and nice color maps. The pull out map is especially useful and colorful. The walking routes are nice and I also like the excursions section. After reading this book the full Finland Insight Guide is probably not worth the price unless you really are spending a long time in Finland.

Insight guides come with a bonus
17 Jan 2009

One of the things I love about the insight guides is that they come with an added bonus. Yes they have the photos and information that other guides have, what sets insight guides apart, is you get a free included detail map, not just a map printed on a page, a real map that you can buy at a store and it comes out of the book and folds out into a real street by street map. Also, insight guides are written on a lot of cities that are hard to find in other guides. The Helsinki one was one example. Everyone has a guidebook on Finland, but few have one just on Helsinki, which happens to be the capitol city of Finland. These guides have lots of photos, advice and the good thing is, they don't drag on with hundreds of pages of research, rather they get to the point and move on to something else. I believe you will enjoy these guides. I own almost every travel guide made so I am a good judge of travel guides and I love these. I gave it 4 stars because I left that to the DK eyewitness series as so far no one can touch them. Sadly they don't have a helsinki guide, at least none I have been able to find.
