Good basic guidebook for a short stay. Doesn't give you much beyond the basics, but I found it easy to use for a brief stay in Stockholm.

I was impressed by the quality and content of this handy travel guide that is packed with all the information my daughter and I will need this summer. We are going on a cruise first then spending two days in Stockholm. I was there over 20 years ago and have forgotten a lot, so this is a great source of information so that we may make the most of our time there!

So this review is really for the series, not this specific book, mainly because I haven't taken this trip yet.
I love the DK Eyewitness travel guides, and for me they are as much of a souvenir as any bought during a trip, my shelf of them brings back many memories. But that doesn't mean they are right for everyone. Other guide books give much better practical information for budget, or on their own travelers, and I use them also. But as far as describing the sights and attractions of a city or area, the photos and quick blurbs go a long way. I find reading these books before arrival gives me a better idea of what I'd like to see, and a great deal of that is due to the photographs.
The maps for each area are useful, but only for that area; they don't connect to other areas very clearly. I always carry the freebie map from the tourist info center in my pocket. And I have noticed that, sometimes, some areas of larger cities are completely ignored, another reason to get a map.
Use these guides as a "What to" instead of a "How to" and you will be happy with them.
