Norway for travelers,
This review is from: Norway: The Rough Guide, First Edition (1997) (Paperback)
The Rough Guide to Norway is a well researched and written travel handbook. Like most books in the Rough Guide series, it strike a nice balance between "Hostel & Backpack" information for budget travelers and more conventional Hotel/Restaurant/Sightseeing entries. Norway has many small towns and cities, and this guide covers them in detail. As convention tourist attractions are somewhat scarce in Norway, this level of detail is critical to an enjoyable trip.We utilized this book and the Lonely Planet Norway guide, and found ourselves using the Rough Guide more (The Lonely Planet series tended to oriented more toward backpackers/hostel travel). It is nice to have both for balance. If you are headed for Norway, the Rough Guide would be a good one to take with you!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not too rough...,
By Marijn Holman (Breda, Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norway: The Rough Guide, First Edition (1997) (Paperback)
Well I seem to have another idea of what rough is than the author of this book. Bought the book in Trondheim because I lost my LP-guide in a train. The book advises you not to camp in the wilderness because of "hostile" conditions and says that the Northern part of Norway can hardly be advised to ordinary tourists. Sure it's a strange land with midnight sun and all, but the sightseeing areas are few and to far apart. Rough indeed!It list a lot of hotels and sightseeing places for the ordinary tourist but it's information on Youth Hostels and budget places is flawed. We came to Tromso exhausted, only to find the 'guesthouse which is a long standing favorite with budgettravellers" to be a asylum. There was no hostel in Fauske neither, though the rough guide directed us to an imagenary one. ... (back ground information is alright though and i think the hotel information is also correct but you'll never know what you have to pay for a hostel bed 'cause they all say (1) which means 0-100 dollar (not really helpful)
