You can count on Rick Steves to tell you what you really need to know when traveling in St. Petersburg, Helsinki, & Tallinn. In this compact guide, Rick Steves covers the essential spots of each city, including the Hermitage, the Church of the Spilled Blood, Linnanmaki (a classic amusement park), & Toompea Castle. Take a day trip to the Peterhof, stroll through Kaivopuisto Park, or visit the Kumu Art Museum. You`ll get Rick`s firsthand advice on the best sights, eating, sleeping, & nightlife, & the maps & self-guided tours will ensure you make the most of your experience. More than just reviews & directions, a Rick Steves Snapshot guide is a tour guide in your pocket. Rick Steves` Snapshot guides consist of excerpted chapters from Rick Steves` European country guidebooks. Snapshot guides are a great choice for travelers visiting a specific city or region, rather than multiple European destinations. These slim guides offer all of Rick`s up-to-date advice on what sights are worth your time & money. They include good-value hotel & restaurant recommendations, with no introductory information (such as overall trip planning, when to go, & travel practicalities).
