Format:Paperback
I found this pocket-sized guide (great format - why hasn't it been done before??) really useful on a recent weekend break in Vilnius. We'd booked the hotel beforehand, but everything else, including witty, light-hearted, concise reviews of restaurants, cafes, entertainment, plus fascinating insights into the city's gorgeous Baroque and Gothic architecture, was ideal. This little book made our trip to Vilnius that much more enjoyable.

Format:Paperback
Andrew Dunn has summarised the usefulness of this little book perfectly. It is a much smaller format than I expected (I also have the Bradt guide to Lithuania which is larger,about paperback novel size)and perfect to slip into a pocket. Although I know the city fairly well, I still found the book useful on my recent visit and, as Mr Dunn says, the comments are witty which takes the book above the dry, factual style of many such books

Useful little guide
14 July 2006
Format:Paperback
This little guide was a massive help on our recent stay in Vilnius, a lovely, charming city with a gorgeous Old Town. The guide advised us where to eat and what to see in a really handy pocket format (why hasn't anyone thought of this pocket-sized format before?). All in all, an indispensible book if you spend a weekend, week or more seeing this beautiful city.

Vilnius

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Another perfect little light weight guide to a European Capitol with enough information for a short stay with walking tours, hotels and restaurants.
Would have preferred a little more of a vocabulary for food items.

Vilnius Made Easy
5 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I used this little book to plan my recent (May 2008) stay in Vilnius. While the book was published in 2006, it remains accurate, though there are some minor discrepancies (the population is given as 553,000 on p. xiv, but 580,000 on p. 18). I booked my housing based on its recommendations, and used the hotel internet address it gave to make my reservations from the USA. The text is designed for a British audience, but this is hardly evident except that the Lithuanian currency is compared to pounds rather than to dollars. All the museums and restaurants that I visited confirmed the recommendations in the book. Rather than going with a formal tour group to the city, the Bradt guide was all that I needed. The book is not only accurate, but engagingly written. You can trust Jarvis and Taylor, the authors, to guide you to a great time in Vilnius!
