This review is from: Tallinn, 2nd: The Bradt City Guide (Bradt Mini Guide) (Paperback)

It was out first trip to Tallinn so we needed to know everything. This little book provided the answers. We maximized our time in the city by reading about the recommended sights to see, how to get there, the costs, if any. Learning about the history of the city gave us an added appreciation of what we were viewing. We learned information about the language, the money exchange, the culture, the restaurants, the hotels, the accessibility of other cities and how to get there. Thanks to this information, we decided to take the Sea Cat to Helsinki for a day - tremendous! If you're going to Tallin, you need this book as your guide.

This review is from: Tallinn, 2nd: The Bradt City Guide (Bradt Mini Guide) (Paperback)

The book is useful and full of good information, however it was not completely necessary since it is a pretty small city and I was able to get free maps there with good info too. It was good to read a little bit before I went though so I knew something about the city but I could have gotten all of that information on the internet anyway. It arrived damaged also so resale value is next to nothing.
