The Frommer's Scandinavia Guide is fantastic. I just returned from a trip to Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm. The guide proved to be invaluable when planning our activities in each city. The maps were excellent, giving the reader a great layout of the cities. I recommend that you follow the suggested itineraries that the guide presents for each city. The itineraries cover all major sights. The suggested side trips from each major city are also very good. If you have the time, visit Helsingor, Denmark. Kroneborg Slot (Hamlet's castle) is fantastic. The only failing of this guide: lackluster clubs/bars suggestions. I visited two of their recommended clubs, and found them to be less than exciting. It is better to ask for recommendations at the front desk of your hotel for "after dark" activities or any young waitress or waiter at a local restaurant. However, overall it is an excellent guide.

I have used Frommer's guides since they existed. I even met Mr. Frommer in Washington, D.C. many years ago. The quality continues. This is a very good, practical book and what is more important, the reader can trust the Frommer guides. I have never been disappointed.

well put together and organized. used this and Rough Guide and had no challenges finding the important places to see. Would highly recommend to go through it prior to arriving.
