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.

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.

this is very detailed, visual and easy to follow guide. I've been to Japan with one of these and its the best thing that could happen to you. All internet research fit into one small book.

Our daughter has traveled to Sweden frequently to visit the homeland of her dear husband. We would love to do this too, one day, but for the present we can only read about it. This book has been a wonderful way to plan our dream trip, and also give us an insight into the beauty and customs of this wonderful Scandinavian country. It is easy to read and has wonderful pictures.
The index is helpful and it is organized in an appealing format. Thanks!

I like the way this book was organized and published. The photos are great. The pages are all in glossy paper. I use it for doing research, and it works well for me.

It is a nice book if you are travelling. It consists all important places to be visited, and also gives advices especially to be seen at/in that important places. Moreover it gives detailed informations(history, daily life/situation, stories about them. Also including opening and closing hours and how you can reach to that places, which are always true.)
Maps of the books and addresses are also very helpful.
I also bought the books of Eyewitness Travel Guides, for the countries or the the cities I went.
In addition to the books, the service quality of Amazon was amazing, I had a very limited time to buy and get the books. The people were very concerned about my problem, I got my books on time.

All of the eyecandy we expect from eyewitness guides. Some once-over-lightly background (not what I'd call in-depth) - most useful, from this perspective, as a decision tool before you've decided to go. Look elsewhere for real help in planning.
