5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't get lost!!, August 20, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Frommer's Scandinavia, 20th Edition (Paperback)
I found good value, clean places to stay, and even great breakfasts. I was able to find reasonable restaurants with excellent food, advice on tipping, and even explanations for what the food on the menu was. This guide was all I needed to bring with me on my trip

This review is from: Frommer's Scandinavia, 20th Edition (Paperback)
I really like the feel of this book. I'm getting ready for a 4-country trip to Scandinavia and this guide looks to be a major source of information to use our limited time effectively. I certainly recommend it...
