Book Description

Lonely Planet will get you to the heart of Norway

About the Author

Anthony Ham es un fotógrafo y escritor independiente especializado en España, el sur y este de África, el Ártico y Oriente Medio que colabora con periódicos y revistas de Australia, Gran Bretaña y EEUU. En el 2001, tras años de recorrer mundo, se enamoró perdidamente de Madrid en su primera visita, y antes de un año estaba de vuelta con un billete solo de ida, sin hablar nada de español y sin conocer a nadie en la ciudad. Cuando 10 años más tarde por fin dejó la capital de España, hablaba español con acento madrileño, se había casado con una lugareña y Madrid se había convertido en su segundo hogar. De nuevo en Australia, Anthony sigue recorriendo el mundo en busca de historias.

Stuart Butler pasaba los veranos haciendo surf en las playas del suroeste de Francia, hasta que un día descubrió que estaba tan enganchado a la región que se veía incapaz de abandonarla, y allí sigue. Sus viajes para Lonely Planet y una gran variedad de revistas internacionales de surf lo han llevado por toda Indonesia y más, desde playas de Yemen hasta las selvas costeras del Congo. Los resultados de sus viajes y sus fotografías aparecen con frecuencia en los medios internacionales del surf. Lleva una década escribiendo guías para Lonely Planet de varios destinos.

Donna Wheeler lleva 10 años escribiendo guías para Lonely Planet; ha contribuido a las de Italia, Noruega, Bélgica, África, Túnez, Argelia, Francia, Austria y Melbourne. Es autora de Paris Precincts, una selecta guía fotográfica de los mejores bares, restaurantes y tiendas de París; y es colaboradora de la publicación italiana de arte contemporáneo My Art Guides. Sus escritos sobre arte contemporáneo, arquitectura y diseño, gastronomía, vinos, espacios naturales e historia cultural pueden encontrarse en todo tipo de publicaciones. Empezó a trabajar como escritora de viajes tras pasar por la edición, la dirección creativa, la producción digital y la estrategia de contenidos. Nacida y criada en Sídney (Australia), Donna se enamoró de Melbourne cuando era adolescente y estudiaba bellas artes. Ha dividido su tiempo entre esa ciudad y su querida Sídney natal durante más de dos décadas, con estancias en Turín, París, Burdeos, Nueva York, Londres y la Irlanda rural. Donna viaja mucho (y a fondo) por Europa, el norte de África, EE UU y Asia.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

Norway is a very different travel experience from the more popular countries in Europe. The country itself is, perhaps, the main attraction to tourists. This guide gives you a fundamental understanding of some of the basic options you have to see the natural elements of Norway. This is unlike an action-packed guide like other countries full of activities and museums manufactured for humans engaging in the tourist industry. It is harder to create a self-guided experience uniquely tailored to your needs with this guide. Also, Norway is one of the most expensive countries you can go in the world. So, it is hard to create a budget trip like you can with other Lonely Planet guides.

... through Norway and had bought this guide as a nice primer to plan the trip

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I just got back from a two week roadtrip through Norway and had bought this guide as a nice primer to plan the trip. It was a great idea! But once you're actually in the country you realize that some of the listed information isn't accurate, some of the restaurants or businesses have been closed a good while (years in some cases), some places are tourist traps, and some of the historic towns and sights that we passed on the road weren't listed in the book at all. We ended up skipping on Norwegian SIM cards for our phones since we had GPS in the car and this guide book... but we quickly realized it was best to just do some research when we found wifi and screenshot business info for later.

I had high hopes for the book but will be going with a different guide for my next trip abroad. I will be sending them an email directly with some of my complaints as well.

Good, saved me paying for excursions!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

I liked it, and it worked pretty well. I took a cruise by the fjords and it saved me a lot to have this instead of buying the super expensive tours that they sold in the cruise. However, I did have only one problem with one of the stops, where it was suggested to take a train along the trollstingen... and it had only two times a day which really bummed me out. On the rest, info is quite detailed and maps are good to do it on your own.

Not bad - but I barely used it. I would 100% recommend you get the Rick Steves' book instead.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I will definitely get Rick Steves book next time. Its a little more expensive, but so worth it. I have always gotten Rick Steve's books, but I wanted to try something a little different (and a tad bit cheaper), but I won't make that mistake again. The book was a little confusing and there was just general listing of restaurants, excursions, etc. I like Rick Steves' books because he provides his personal experiences, such as "You could go to place A, but I would highly recommend place B if you are interested in ______". I want to mention that I am not quoting him, just providing an example of information Rick Steves' provides in his books.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

Just returned from a trip to Norway and found this book to be helpful. Could use more detail on sights beyond the most popular. But that would make it heavier. Some guides include all of Scandinavia. SO those are either bulkier or less detailed. So all in all a very good guide if you only need Norway.

Lonely Planet Guides are must haves for travel.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Lonely Planet Travel Guides are always extremely helpful in planning a meaningful experience when traveling. We purchased The Lonely Planet NORWAY because we found the FINLAND guide fantastic. These guides give you an easy way to plan the most important things to see and do. You get a great list of sights, museums, restaurants and hotels with descriptions and approximate costs in which to helo you make informed decisions. The Lonely Planet Guide NORWAY was a WINNER.

On the whole, it's a good guide but I was expecting a folded or pull-out large map of Norway at the back as some of the Lonely Planet guide books have at the back or front. It was something I needed and for which I actually bought the guide book.

I travel frequently for pleasure and for work. I made a visit back to Norway, where my fathers family hail from. I wanted to explore other areas of Norway I hadn't been. This book was a very good resource! Well written and easy to navigate (no pun intended). I would...and have recommended it.

Decent but expensive for what it is

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Book was okay, I would have preferred there to be more pictures and facts about key areas. We pretty much didn't use it on the trip as it didn't really show us anything of interest . But this may just have been down to our preference rather than the book itself

We took it with us on a Hurtigruten trip up the coast of Norway. It proved itself to be invaluable.
