I usually like Eyewitness Travel Guides, and this "Sweden" issue was also as useful as the others I have owned. I am glad Stockholm has its own chapter and in great detail. The scenery pictures are nice, and graphics explaining detailed floor plans of buildings and museums are very useful. The pictures alone are enough to make me want to go there! I also like the Traveler's Needs section, especially the accomodation divided in categories of location and price. Although accomodation nowadays is easy to find from the internet, Eyewitness has saved me a lot of precious time trying to compare each hotel between websites. I would recommend anyone who is going to Sweden to get this book. You will get all the information you need, and more!

No matter where you wander, the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are the best guides to introduce you to a region. Color illustrations, great maps, with a focus on really neat things to do and places to see. This one is no exception. Although we are frequent visitors to Sweden (bought this as a gift), we still found much that was new and fascinating in it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of photos, but..., February 21, 2010

It's true what the cover promises: the guide shows a lot of places and things, much more than the other guides I've bought. However, it's much less detailed than these same other guides - the Lonely Planet, for example.

If you are planning to travel, I would recommend at least two or three guides. Comparing and crossing information is the best thing to do, and the photos in this book will definitely help.
