This guide is excellent and extremely educational, and it has beautiful illustrations throughout. It suggests places to go, restaurants, galleries, hotels, cathedrals, walks, etc. and how to get there. Lots of maps, including ones that show surrounding streets and buildings. A phrase book section is included, along with rules of pronunciation and an explanation of the Cyrillic alphabet.
