5.0 out of 5 stars Bradts : The Intelligent Person's Guide to Estonia, January 16, 2005
By Hilary Bird (Estonia, Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I live in Estonia and am now on my indispensable third edition of Bradts guide by Neil Taylor.

This is very much a book for the discerning traveller. The 40-odd pages about the general history, economy, geography and culture of Estonia are excellent. No other guide covers these subjects so extensively. The practical information is always up to date (important in a country where so much is changing so fast) as Neil Taylor visits regularly and has good networks `on site'. The travel information is scattered with interesting texts and quotes from such Estonian luminaries as Ants Oras and Lennart Meri, the Welsh/Estonian MP Lembit Opik (who gives an apt 1-page guide to Dos and Don'ts) and British travellers of the 1930's. In addition I can recommend the well planned suggested tours.

This is the only guidebook in English that concentrates on Estonia without lumping it together with the other two Baltic States. This is very much to Bradts credit as the States are far from homogenous and deserve a volume all to themselves. Bradt's Latvia and Lithuania are also recommended.

Bradt's is always growing and changing so, if you're heading for Estonia and want reliable information about the country's natural beauty, turbulent history, what to see, what to do and how much it will cost, don't go without it!

Hilary Bird, Vanemuise, Tartu, Estonia

3.0 out of 5 stars An Intelligent Guide, March 21, 2000
By Derek Bousé (Salzburg, Austria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Estonia (Paperback)
Although a previous review criticised this book for not helping with the shopping, there are those of us who can negotiate these things on our own, or who went to Estonia armed also with more touristy guides for those matters (such as the fine "In Your Pocket" series). The Bradt Guide to Estonia, however, is for those of us who wish to know more about the history, culture, and especially the natural history of a place before we travel, that we may arrive informed. Indeed, not many travel guides even touch on a region's natural history, but this one does more than that, and also has some good stories that prepare the traveler. It's good reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars bradt's guide to estonia, April 5, 2000
By gerald keen (west hempstead, new york USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Estonia (Paperback)
This excellent guide is one of the best. Even the very fine guides from the 90s have out of date infomation that this volume rectifies. I appreciate the book's scope and practicality. The new color photos add a great deal. Next time in Estonia this one is coming along.
