5.0 out of 5 stars handy guide, August 24, 2007

By	W. Kempey "bk3nj" (NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lonely Planet Stockholm (Paperback)

I found this guidebook indispensable on my recent visit to Stockholm - the brief restaurant write-ups were spot on, and it contained a much greater level of detail than other guidebooks I looked at.

I found the maps very useful as well; they are aided by the layout of the book - all lodging in one chapter, all dining in another chapter, nightlife in its own chapter, etc, rather than dividing the chapters by region. Once I got used to the layout, it was very intuitive.

That said, it's always a good idea to look at a guidebook first in a bricks-and-mortar store before buying it online, because personal tastes do vary.

This review is from: Lonely Planet Stockholm (Paperback)

I am ususally a DK Eyewitness fan, but the Lonely Planet Stockholm was more recent in it's copywright. Most information was helpful except when heading to Gripsholms Slott, which wasn't open to any public until May, we visited in February.
Also some of the stores noted for shopping in Galma Stad didn't exist.

Becky Ohlsen provides an excellent, personalized overview of Stockholm's many museums, cafes, hotels, etc. We relied on her book for our too-brief three-day stay in the city, and were consistently happy with the advice given. Recommended.
