Product Description

Review
"Commendable."
--"The Independent"


Product Description
The Baltic capital cities of Tallinn, Riga, Vilius and Kaliningrad are perfect for a multi-centre trip and have become increasingly popular for city breaks. A good range of information on the heritage, architecture, entertainment, restaurants and cafes of each city is contained in this volume, as well as sightseeing and walking tours for each city. A section on excursions out from each centre expands the possibilities further for visitors and includes gems such as the medieval Trakai castle on the outskirts of Vilius, the Latvian seaside resort of Jurmala and the year-round delight and tranquility of the Kadriog Park near Tallinn. As well as background material including history and culture, this guide offers essential words and phrases in four languages for both tourist and business travellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best guide to the Baltics, 14 Oct 2003
By Howard Jarvis (Vilnius, Lithuania) - See all my reviews
It's amazing how fast things change in the Baltic region. This update on the original is therefore very welcome. The four contributors obviously have their own passions as they write about their favourite Baltic capital. Excursions to castles, parks and open-air museums that are outside the cities but easily assessible are also included. The colourful individual characters and varied histories of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius become clear through the pages of the book, which are spiced up with anecdotes from eyewitnesses of recent events. This and Bradt's other travel guides to the Baltics are the best and the most reliable to be found. Let's hope we don't have to wait too long for the third edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect but..., 3 Jan 2004
By Neil F. Marshall "snoopmarsh" (Burnley) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I used this book last year when visiting Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, therefore it is difficult to comment on the Kaliningrad guide.

Trying to use this book as a solo guide to the capitals was near enough impossible. The maps have little detail and are highly in-accurate and there is not much of a restaurant guide either. However, the book does acknowledge this fact and points you in the direction of suitable accompanyments.

Having said that, it contains very useful background information on the cities, including histories. These are often cleverly integrated into wlaking tours around the cities that are very helpful, especially in the maze of streets in the old towns. There are plenty of good ideas for excursions and some good shopping guides.

All in all it is a very good book for the independent, non-tour guided traveller. It would have been extremley difficult to get by without, even though it needed a little extra to help it along. Buy!
