4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful description of a country called Finland, November 27, 1998
By A Customer
This book is a great combination of a tourist guide and cultural description of Finland, a country between the east and the west.

There are plenty of great color pictures included which makes this book lovely reading before and especially after your trip to Finland. Even though you would never travel to Finland this book will reveal much more than a weekend trip would do.

The best part of this book apart from the great pictures is that is does not only describe the popular sights to visit but it goes deep into the Finnish society and culture without being too heavy reading.

I warmly recommend this book to everyone who is interested in Finland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of lovely memories, October 28, 2001
Insight Compact Guides are great. This one has 12 routes for you to follow as you travel through this stunningly beautiful country. All the major sights are featured with pictures and a rating. I like this feature since - as you will find - the authors are pretty good judges of what is worth seeing and what is not. It's also nice to see the Aland Islands included as one of the trips. My wife and I had a tremendous time cycling around them in the early autumn of 1999 - when the sea and sky were deep blue and the myriad forests a swathe of gold and red.

There are two big selling points for these guide books. One they are very small, light and easy to follow. Two, into a mere 100 odd pages, the authors have crammed a wealth of info/pictures on the country, its history, culture, customs - as well as 12 unforgettable journey's.

Five stars and lots of lovely memories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for getting guick background on Finland, May 23, 2000
By A Customer
The Insight Guide series is, in general, a really good introduction to any of the countries that they have chosen to focus on. This one on Finland, like all of them, is full of great photo's and good historical, economic, social, and political descriptions.

The tourist descriptions of what to see, places to stay and eat, etc. always seem to be pretty good and accurate.
