Great comprehensive guide book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Insight Guide Scandinavia (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this guide book. Before I went on the trip, I could carry this with me and look up info about a particular place, or study the history section at the beginning of the book which I found very informative. It has lots of lovely pictures and helpful information. It is not very detailed about hotels, but I went online for more information about those. Since it's a heavy book, I tore out pages relating to places I would be to take with me on the trip. But I kept most of the book in tact to keep on the shelf as reference. I recommend this guidebook.
