Bradt Travel Guides are often very informative about some of the lesser-known regions of the world, and that includes some parts of Eastern Europe and Russia.
Already this year, one of my favorite travel guide book publishers, Bradt, has released a new guide to Croatia. In its third edition, and now almost un-Bradt-like, since Croatia has become such a popular destination, the book covers areas like national parks and islands in especially good detail. Also this year, the second edition of the Dubrovnik city guide came out.
More recently, in July, Bradt issued its fifth edition of the Estonia guide book. With the growing number of visitors to Narva en route to or from Russia, Bradt expanded its coverage of this interesting border town.
Coming later this year is another useful Bradt guide - and this will be the first Bradt guide to Bulgaria. It's due to be published in December 2007 and will include information about the Black Sea coastline, the mountains and ski resorts and Bulgaria's nine World Heritage listed sites.
