Reiseführer Ostseestädte

The Trescher Travel Guide to Baltic Cities presents 15 cities in 10 countries that are increasingly visited as part of popular Baltic cruises. Among them are metropolises like Riga and Copenhagen, as well as smaller towns like Visby on Gotland and Rønne on Bornholm. Excursion tips lead to the often charming surroundings of the cities, to the sea, or into the hinterland. For independent travelers, there are route suggestions by train, bicycle, or cargo ship.

For half a century, the Iron Curtain separated the Baltic Sea states. Today, the sea brings together regions that were in lively exchange during the Hanseatic League. The Baltic Cities guide introduces fifteen cities in ten countries: Kiel, Lübeck, Rostock, Gdansk (Danzig), Kaliningrad (Königsberg), Klaipeda, Riga, Tallinn, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm, Visby on Gotland, Rønne on Bornholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo. Although the Norwegian capital is located on the North Sea, it is a popular destination on Baltic cruises. This guide is also suitable for those traveling overland and visiting several Baltic cities in one trip.

The main attractions are described in walking tours. City maps, overview maps, and many practical travel tips facilitate trip preparation and orientation on-site. Numerous background information on history, nature, and culture deepens the experience, and more than 300 photos set the mood for the vacation destination.
