5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Single Source for Travel to Norway, April 30, 2006
No one travel book can hope to capture all that might be useful or interesting to know about Norway, but the Eyewitness Travel Guide to Norway may come closest. Compact and portable, the guides are packed with information. Supplemented with some local maps, this guide may be sufficient for most visitors' needs.

The Norway Eyewitness Travel Guide includes maps, photographs, diagrams, and a variety of other graphics, in addition to narrative, to describe Norway as a travel experience. The introduction provides a sense of Norway in terms of its geography, people, and history. Breakdowns follow by region which include the principal attractions. Especially useful are the maps and diagrams of some of the most popular locations, such as the Vigeland Sculpture Park and the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. Other sections cover how to get to Norway and how to get around within what is a surprisingly large country. The guide includes information on accomodations, a shopping guide, and basic survival facts for the traveler. As always, the inclusion of a wealth of photographs provides a sense of place and scale for Norway, and will help the traveler make some choices in what to see and do.

This guide is highly recommended to the traveler planning a vacation in Norway. Some careful study will help ensure a wonderful vacation in a beautiful country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful pictures throughout the book, February 4, 2005
I am planning my trip to Norway this May and have found this book to be very useful. I have other reference books I have used but none of those have the format of this book. It is very easy to find information and I find the maps and pictures very helpful. I would recommend this book if you are planning a trip to Norway or just interested in learning more about the country.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad book, go to your room., July 22, 2004
By William Milsten (Jacksonville, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed the Eyewitness Travel Guide for Istanbul, although I used the Blue Guide to fill in the many information gaps. However, where the ETG finds success when providing information for a city, it fails when trying to cover an entire country.

This book was almost completely uselss. The Oslo section only covers with any detail the immediate downtown section. The maps for greater Oslo are horrible. The tram and bus information is wrong.

Of couse my largest gripe is my own fault. I knew one skinny book would leave way to much out.

One area the book got right, an area that every single other ETG has gotten wrong, was the food area. Handing the book around to Norwegians on the train brought more than a few, "Yes, that is what I normally eat."
