5.0 out of 5 stars Complete success, July 17, 2001

This review is from: Fodor's Norway, 5th Edition: Expert Advice and Smart Choices: Where to Stay, Eat, And Explore On and Off the Beaten Path (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

If you are tired of guidebooks whining about Scandinavia being expensive, this is your choice. The book quietly assumes that if you want to go to Scandinavia, you are aware that it is going to be more expensive than India. Do not worry, it is not written for millionaires but it does not discuss relative merits of garbage bin contents, either.

Fodor's encourages you to travel to this wonderful country rather than tries to peddle doom and gloom message about "clean, boring and expensive Scandinavia", as opposed among some guidebooks who feel as if they HAD to cover the area but really hated doing it.

Maps are very good, descriptions accurate and listings cover all you want to see there. I like my travel guides with pictures and these are in short supply there, but (as the previous reviewer rightly noted) the book is handy and light, and you do not want it thicker.

A solid and well-researched publication, and good value for money.
