A Guide to the Baltic States

Until now, travelers to the Baltic States have had only two places to look for information: sketchy western travel guides or misleading Intourist propaganda. A GUIDE TO THE BALTIC STATES lifts the Soviet veil from Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia & offers travelers an insider's view of the increasingly open Baltic Republics. The 309-page book offers detailed information about lodging, transportation, restaurants, & recreational activities, as well as background on local customs & culture. Useful addresses, phone numbers, maps, over 70 photographs, & detailed walking tours of major cities provide necessary facts for the independent traveler, & added insight for those on guided tours. Because ongoing political developments in the Baltic are a major part of the local scene, the book offers capsule histories for a better understanding of each country's unique past, & a summary of recent events & their impact. This "glasnost era" travel guide is the most up-to-date & informative book available on the rapidly changing Baltic States.Kalnins, Ingrida is the author of 'A Guide to the Baltic States', published 1991 under ISBN 9780962650208 and ISBN 096265020X.
