2.0 out of 5 stars "Yuppie Guide", April 4, 2005

By	J. C. Lewelling "Hillbilly Int'rlectyal" (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lonely Planet Copenhagen (Paperback)

As with the only other Sally O'Brian authored-guide that I've used (for Sydney, Australia), this guide leaves much to be desired. Concentrating on trendy hotels, restaurants and bars, this guide gives short shrift to the sights, museums and history of Copenhagen. This guide also dispenses with the section on "Getting There", "Getting Around", and such that used to make Lonely Planets the most useful guide out there. This is more like a Fodors for the pretentious than a good guide to Copenhagen.

If this is the new format, I fear for the Lonely Planet series. One would be better off with a "Let's-Go"

4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable guide to an exciting city!, October 18, 2001

By	Mrs. H. A. Smith "Holkay" (North West UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was extremely informative, all information is clear and concise and was easy to navigate through.

We wanted an easy to use, novice guide on what to do/where to go/what to see/where & what to eat etc. for a short break in the city and this book told us everything we wanted to know & more.

This helped us to plan a full itinerary for our trip prior to us arriving - and therefore, helped us to not waste a minute of our precious holiday time!

Have nothing really bad to say about the publication - it is well written, interesting & informative; without being too detailed/long-winded.

Would appeal greatly to music lovers - as it has a special section devoted to the famous Jazz Festival.

This review is from: Lonely Planet Copenhagen (Paperback)

This guide was indespensible throughout the travel in Copenhagen and vicinity. Great attention to detail and precise and timely information made it a great asset as a travel guide. Additionally, information on excursions to Sweden and the island of Zealand made this guide a "must-have" when in Denmark.
