A long awaited, up-to-date guide to this picturesque and welcoming country with a turbulent history. Vilnius, the capital, is the most popular of Lithuania's quaint medieval cities with its old town, ethnic communities and lively cafes, bars and restaurants. National parks and the magnificent coastline of wide sandy beaches and dunes are two of the many attractions ready to tempt the visitor away from the capital. This new guide is an essential companion at all stages of travel within Lithuania and the wealth of practical information takes account of all the recent changes and brings the visitor up-to-date.
Poland's vast, tranquil countryside and historical cities are increasingly accessible for both short-break visitors and walkers looking to explore off-the-beaten-track Poland. Gordon McLachlan guides travelers through the whole range of Poland's attractions in this new Bradt guide, helping visitors make sense of the country's complex history and providing all the relevant town and city plans and an extended introduction to the centers of Krakow and Warsaw. Thorough coverage of the fast growing accommodation and tour options and essential Polish words and phrases are provided. There is a special emphasis on national parks and walking in some of eastern Europe's most unspoiled mountains.
