Practical Reference

For images of these locations in Scandinavia go to other sources. This book provides a wealth of details listing hotels, restaurants, sites so it is a useful resource for planning one’s trip. Many maps throughout make it all the more useful.

A small burden

I love the Fodor guides. This one is a little too heavy to carry along while sightseeing all day. Split it perhaps?

A good book for Scandinavian travel

Overall a good book for Scandinavian travel. The things I liked about the book include the general information about each country, it was very helpful during a recent trip to Norway and Denmark. The hotel and restaurant information was useful and right on. It is a good guide to use if you want to see the highlights of each country, but perhaps lacks in-depth information about off the beaten path.A couple of things that are lacking in the book include web site and email addresses for hotels, restaurants and museums. Also, there is not a lot of information in the book about train or boat travel in Scandinavia.Even though this book was released in 2000, some of the times museums were open differed from the guide, so confirm with the museum before exploring.If you are just going to one country, I would recommend purchasing a specific book on that country. Overall, I was pleased with my purchase and it served me well while in Scandinavia.
