5.0 out of 5 stars
Exactly what I needed,
This review is from: Moscow & St Petersburg (Berlitz Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
So our first day in Moscow we lost our dictionary and our big travel guide and had to resort to this little thing I had picked up. It was full of everything we needed and got us through 2 weeks of trolling around Moscow and St. Pete on student budgets.The train maps were extremely useful. I was constantly pulling this thing out of my back pocket to find out what exit we needed to take. The city maps are pretty good too. All the suggestions were great and pretty easy to find. Thanks to this book, I was finally able to see a Russian circus with dancing bears and bears driving motorcycles with dogs on the back, which is really the only thing anybody ever wants to do over there. The vocabulary section is kinda useful, but you may have to resort to just showing them the words. If you're ordering food, I reccommend the shotgun approach we took: just point to stuff on the menu. It'll all work out in the end. I wouldn't say that this should be your only resource for preparing your trip, but it's definitely the only thing you'll need on you while you're actually walking around the country. That and your passport. Those Russian cops are crooks.

Pocket Guide Moscow/St. Petersburg,

This review is from: Moscow & St Petersburg (Berlitz Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
The book is about the size we wanted and shouldn't be a problem carrying it around. Very detailed and covers a variety of subjects....history, attractions, travel tips, hotels and restaurants. Our only complaint is that I couldn't find a recent version. The one we bought is 2006 and very surprised nothing more uptodate wasn't available.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Moscow & St Petersburg (Berlitz Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
This is just the right size, easy to put in a pocket, not too long or short, not too expensive or cheap. Right combination of history, tourism, and travel advice. Something to read during the all day long trip to Russia, and review while in Russia.
