B & B in Scandanava

We have many freinds and realatives there but when you travel with several people you can not expect to fiind people to stay with for many reasons, this book will make it easy for us to find a place that is not priced out of the world.

A great start to planing a Norway getaway (twice)

If you are planning a trip to Norway this book is a must have. It clearly outlines the whole country and does an excellent job with Oslo. There is so much to see and even if you are just doing a cruise of the country this is still worth buying. At the time I was only going to Oslo but on my second trip back I toured the rest of the country and this book was useful on both occasions. While it would be nice if DK made an Oslo book this one will be great in the meantime.

Norway (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

I really like this book. I have many of the DK Eyewitness books, and they are all very good. Norway" as well as other DK's have wonderful maps, beautiful pictures and valuable information.

Compact and portable, the guides are packed with information. Supplemented with some local maps, this guide may be sufficient for most visitors' needs. The Norway Eyewitness Travel Guide includes maps, photographs, diagrams, and a variety of other graphics, in addition to narrative, to describe Norway as a travel experience. The introduction provides a sense of Norway in terms of its geography, people, and history. Breakdowns follow by region which include the principal attractions. Especially useful are the maps and diagrams of some of the most popular locations, such as the Vigeland Sculpture Park and the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. Other sections cover how to get to Norway and how to get around within what is a surprisingly large country. The guide includes information on accomodations, a shopping guide, and basic survival facts for the traveler. As always, the inclusion of a wealth of photographs provides a sense of place and scale for Norway, and will help the traveler make some choices in what to see and do.
