If you are planning a weekend break to Tallinn or it is part of a Baltic cruise itinerary the Berlitz Pocket Guide will serve very well. It is sufficiently detailed yet concise, gives an introduction to the history & economy of Estonia and provides practical information before and during your visit. I preferred this book to the Thomas Cook pocket guide to Helsinki which I also used on the trip. The maps are clear & adequate for getting your bearings but will probably need to be supplemented with more detailed maps from the tourist information or hotel reception, especially if you are trying to find a restaurant, bar or hotel in the maze of streets & alleys in the old town. (I used online mapping & took print outs of the exact location of the hotel & places I wanted to visit as not all the streets are shown in the guide.) This is the first edition of the guide & would benefit from updating, not least because Estonia joined the Eurozone in January 2011 so references to the former currency are no longer helpful.Read full review
