Product Description:

This new title from Bradt is an upgrade to the previous Baltic Capitals, recognising the changing nature of tourism and business travel to the region.

The capital cities of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius are still covered in depth with exclusive information on the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad; but the guide now also stretches away from the capital hubs to encompass other attractive cities in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania that are well-worth a visit in their own right.

 

A full Baltic itinerary, whether independent or tour-lead, can be plotted or followed with the aid of this guide, be it traveling along the peaceful Baltic coastline from Klaipeda to Liepaja, or striking inland to Daugavpils and Tallinn’s second city, Tartu.  Thorough background information on the complex history of the Baltics is one of the many useful features for travellers new to the region.
