4.0 out of 5 stars Very handy and comprehensive, October 10, 2000

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Stockholm (Paperback)

We just got back from a whirlwind trip to Stockholm and this book was with me every step of the way. Like all the books in this series, it is very detailed with lots of pictures, illustrations and information. I found myself reading it on the plane trip home because the pictures let you re-live the trip. The information in the book was all accurate and up-to-date. My only complaint is that they like everything...I wish they would offer a few more opinions like "Don't miss!" or "If you have time, okay, but not worth a special trip." I did use this book in conjunction with the Lonely Planet guide to Sweden which is much more opinionated. Together, the two books were all I needed for a very successful trip.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great pictures, great layout, easy to read, informative, February 18, 2003

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Stockholm (Paperback)

We're planning a trip to Stockholm in Spring 2003. This book is great for those pressed for time, as it gives short overviews of sights in Stockholm, by neighborhood. My only complaint: I wish it had more suggested itineraries. Beautiful pictures and interesting historical perspective throughout, not just in the introduction (as in many guides).

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Excellent "On-The-Go" Quick Reference, August 12, 2001

This book is wonderful! Aside from excellent descriptions of hotels, shopping and tourist sites, the "street finder" is very useful.
