Would prefer it as a hard copy but must say I do like the fact that you can use the links within the book to jump ahead but unfortunately you can’t go back to find the spot you were up to。 However， as a bit of clarification， I have borrowed this from the library as an ebook using a Libby by Overdrive。The content itself is sufficient and gives me good ideas of where to go， activities to do， but like someone mentioned in a another review， is to always take it with a grain of salt as businesses may Would prefer it as a hard copy but must say I do like the fact that you can use the links within the book to jump ahead but unfortunately you can’t go back to find the spot you were up to。 However， as a bit of clarification， I have borrowed this from the library as an ebook using a Libby by Overdrive。The content itself is sufficient and gives me good ideas of where to go， activities to do， but like someone mentioned in a another review， is to always take it with a grain of salt as businesses may have either closed down， management has been taken over， different business all together so you just need to make sure you check before heading over。 This also goes for laws and regulations in literally everything there when it comes to driving， visas， what you can and can’t do etc， as at the time writing of this book things can change very quickly。 。。。more

A few places had closed down， but for the most part a very useful and comprehensive review of the best places to visit in Scandinavia。 Very helpful。

Brianna Silva ，

This was super helpful。 I feel sufficiently armed for my upcoming trip。

It's informative and written in a nice way。 I'll give this one three stars now， because it's just some very basic information and although I've read the latest version （late 2015 I think）， it's already a bit outdated。 It's informative and written in a nice way。 I'll give this one three stars now， because it's just some very basic information and although I've read the latest version （late 2015 I think）， it's already a bit outdated。 。。。more

I really like the Rick Steves series of travel books。 The way that the travel is broken down， his rating system for sights （must see， try to see， etc。）。 I enjoy knowing that this information is coming from his personal point of view， it hasn't just been extracted from some secondhand source。 I like the walking trips he suggests through a few of Denmark's more popular tourist towns。 I don't like that there were no maps for those tours only verbal descriptions。 I also didn't like that about 90% of I really like the Rick Steves series of travel books。 The way that the travel is broken down， his rating system for sights （must see， try to see， etc。）。 I enjoy knowing that this information is coming from his personal point of view， it hasn't just been extracted from some secondhand source。 I like the walking trips he suggests through a few of Denmark's more popular tourist towns。 I don't like that there were no maps for those tours only verbal descriptions。 I also didn't like that about 90% of the Denmark section was devoted to Copenhagen。 Note: I only used this for the the Denmark section。 。。。more

2016: I guess I can't really give this a fair shake until I actually go to Scandinavia， but I'm not waiting 6 months to write a book review。 In all， this book gave me hella wanderlust， gave me a good idea of what to expect when I'm there， made me suddenly really want to go to Svalbard， and gave me good ideas for my trip。 Thanks， book！--2019: This time I'm traveling to a bunch of different cities and this book isn't *as* helpful。 It's useful for maybe deciding which country you want to go to， but 2016: I guess I can't really give this a fair shake until I actually go to Scandinavia， but I'm not waiting 6 months to write a book review。 In all， this book gave me hella wanderlust， gave me a good idea of what to expect when I'm there， made me suddenly really want to go to Svalbard， and gave me good ideas for my trip。 Thanks， book！--2019: This time I'm traveling to a bunch of different cities and this book isn't *as* helpful。 It's useful for maybe deciding which country you want to go to， but if you already know exactly what you want to see then this book will feel too cursory。 。。。more

An excellent overview of the Scandinavian region。 I purchased this book to prepare for a long-term trip to the region next summer， and I found it an excellent resource - even after having spent a lot of time in this region already！ A must have for the travel enthusiast， and Lonely Planet is an excellent series all-around for both travel and language texts。

Downloaded the chapters on pdf for Sweden and Norway。 Both chalets have us some basic information about Stockholm and Oslo。 However， when trying to figure out how to find bist cruise in Stockholm， the were the company names listed and no addresses or locations to find them。 It was definitely assumed we would have Internet access。 The guide was good fit basic ideas about museums but I agree with other reviews that it was much less helpful when trying to design a game plan for how to tour a city。

Everything I need to know to plan an August adventure！

As always， Lonely Planet is great company， but not the trendiest or most cutting-edge travel guide， but it's more than serviceable in helping you cover all the bases of going places and squeezing into the nooks and crannies of a new adventure。 I did， however， find the section on western Norway and exploring the phenomenal fjords in that region confusing - it was hard to discern a proper geographical game plan for conquering the fjords。 Also， the chapters on each major city （Copenhagen， Stockholm As always， Lonely Planet is great company， but not the trendiest or most cutting-edge travel guide， but it's more than serviceable in helping you cover all the bases of going places and squeezing into the nooks and crannies of a new adventure。 I did， however， find the section on western Norway and exploring the phenomenal fjords in that region confusing - it was hard to discern a proper geographical game plan for conquering the fjords。 Also， the chapters on each major city （Copenhagen， Stockholm， Helsinki， Oslo） can be a bit paltry - it's true that there aren't the tourist tramping attractions of western Europe， so it's not entirely the authors' faults。 But， if you are into gastronomical explorations （and you definitely should indulge in Scandinavia） and uncovering the next neo-metal night club， I would suggest supplementing your Lonely Planet research with the New York Times， The Guardian， Time Out， and select blogs。 I would have given it three stars， but an extra， because the book truly introduced us to some unforgettable finds。 。。。more

You can never really tell how good a lonely planet is until you go and I have never been to northern Europe so I can’t pre-judge this book。 It is however very readable and strikes me as being a pretty good basic guide to travelling the region， quite basic though， further research is needed for anything but the most basic of tourist visits。 The one real failing for me in this book was that while it babbles on at length about jazz festivals and international film festivals it totally fails to ment You can never really tell how good a lonely planet is until you go and I have never been to northern Europe so I can’t pre-judge this book。 It is however very readable and strikes me as being a pretty good basic guide to travelling the region， quite basic though， further research is needed for anything but the most basic of tourist visits。 The one real failing for me in this book was that while it babbles on at length about jazz festivals and international film festivals it totally fails to mention any music of the metal genera。 I gather that the authors are not into it and it is a bit niche in the rest of the world， but seriously guys; Scandinavia and Finland are world leaders in most of the metal genera， they produce a fantastic range of mind blowing music of all kinds – you could have managed at least a nod in the general direction。Reading it has definitely fired me up to want a trip there – maybe July 2013！ 。。。more
