What's Included

Rick Steves Snapshot: St. Petersburg, Helsinki & Tallinn contains all the complete chapters on these three cities, excerpted from Rick's full-length Scandinavia guidebook and Northern European Cruise Ports guidebook — and leaves out the chapters on other destinations. So if all you want is the best of the Baltics, this compact Snapshot guide delivers everything you'll need to know — for about half the price and half the bulk.

Is this the right book for me?

Should I get this Snapshot guide in addition to Rick's full-length Scandinavia guidebook?

Only if your trip includes an excursion to St. Petersburg, which isn't included in Rick Steves Scandinavia. But the Snapshot guide's Helsinki and Tallinn chapters are excerpted directly from the full-length Scandinavia guidebook, covering the exact same topics in those two cities — the same hotels, same restaurants, same sightseeing information, same everything. (But the full-length Scandinavia guidebook, now in its 17th edition, is more up to date than this Snapshot guide, which was excerpted from the Scandinavia book's 16th edition. Check this Snapshot's updates page for the most noteworthy changes.)
