Baltic States, International Travel Maps ITM Publications 2nd edition

2nd revised edition 2016. The Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are three of the nicest countries to visit in Europe. Access is easy, through Poland heading north or via a ferry from Finland coming south. As part of the EU, the three countries enthusiastically removed border controls for citizens of other EU countries a number of years ago. We have travelled through the area and can testify to the friendliness of the people, the high quality of the road network, and the accommodations available. Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is perhaps better known than either Riga or Vilnius, but all three cities exude a Baltic charm that is quite pleasant. Our map focuses on the countries in great detail, showing the sophisticated road network, the many historic and touristic sites, and camping areas in parks. As there is a wealth of hotels and guest houses in the country, as well as petrol stations, we have not bothered to note such matters. This is a part of the former Soviet empire that is showing great signs of developing into a valued part of Europe.
