Estonia Summary

Estonia by Neil Taylor

Bradt's Estonia remains the only English-language guidebook to this Baltics destination and this sixth edition reveals more of the country than any previous guide. Readers now discover why Miss Estonia likes antique cars, where Eiffel built before Paris, and why Edward VII could not land in Tallinn to meet Tsar Nicholas II and had instead to spend three days in the harbour. Offering extensive coverage of Estonia's complex cultural history and its artists, writers and musicians, alongside comprehensive practical information, Baltics expert Neil Taylor proves that there's much more to Estonia than the cobbled streets and cafes of Tallinn.

Estonia Reviews

'A thoughtful and well-written introduction to the country.' The Lady 'A wealth of practical information.' The Yorkshire Post 'This guide provides the essential information to prepare a successful trip.' Reference Review 'A must-have as it covers not only the country, but also offers fascinating information on short trips to the neighbours.' The Baltic Times 'Excellent on culture and history.' Escape Routes 'Bradt's Estonia is best - detailed, reliable, and pleasantly opinionated.' Conde Nast Traveler, USA 'The book covers almost every visitable corner of Estonia, from the grim ruins of the old Soviet airbase at Paide near Tapa to the Hanseatic delights of the Tallinn old town. The author's affection for his subject shines through-but is never sickly.' The Economist 'Essential reading' The Daily Telegraph
