A full Baltic itinerary, whether independent or tour-lead, can be plotted or followed with the aid of this guide, be it traveling along the peaceful Baltic coastline from Klaipeda to Liepaja, or striking inland to Daugavpils and Tallinn’s second city, Tartu.

This is the first English-language guide dedicated to Lake Baikal and its surroundings. It provides full coverage of activities, wildlife, culture and religion, as well as practical information on traveling in this diverse corner of Siberia.
