2.0 out of 5 stars Tell me something I don't know..., September 2, 2005

This review is from: Denmark (Lonely Planet Denmark) (Paperback)

I have used Lonely Planet guide books in many countries and find them to be the superior guide book for all destinations... in the third world. Lonely Planet falls short in Europe and this book, Lonely Planet Denmark, is no exception. This book reads like a Let's Go travel guide; one doesn't need a guide book to find pizza and kebab shops anywhere in the world, especially in Denmark where they proliferate as cheap eats. What I look for is a guide to the out of the ordinary, as well as the places and food establishments that are unique to the country I'm visiting. This book lacks that depth of research and proved to be little more than unnecessary weigh in my luggage.

Furthermore, the book is organized differently from previous Lonely Planet books I've owned (including the previous edition of this very book) which made finding information difficult for those of us accustomed to using these guide books. At the same time the revisions added no benefits I could see. I'm still looking for a good guide book publisher for Europe. Any suggestions??

This review is from: Lonely Planet Denmark (Country Travel Guide) (Paperback)

If you're traveling outside Copenhagen, this book is a must. A recent trip to Denmark confirms that much of this book is still useful and up to date. Aarhus, Randers, Kolding and Silkeborg were described well in this book. Even Copenhagen, for which I had a separate book, is addressed pretty well by this guide. This is a typical Lonely Planet effort, which I like; if you like the LP books, you will like this one, which is useful and accurate.
