Excellent Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The Frommer's Scandinavia Guide is fantastic. I just returned from a trip to Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm. The guide proved to be invaluable when planning our activities in each city. The maps were excellent, giving the reader a great layout of the cities. I recommend that you follow the suggested itineraries that the guide presents for each city. The itineraries cover all major sights. The suggested side trips from each major city are also very good. If you have the time, visit Helsingor, Denmark. Kroneborg Slot (Hamlet's castle) is fantastic. The only failing of this guide: lackluster clubs/bars suggestions. I visited two of their recommended clubs, and found them to be less than exciting. It is better to ask for recommendations at the front desk of your hotel for "after dark" activities or any young waitress or waiter at a local restaurant. However, overall it is an excellent guide.
Good source - very good lay-out

I really like the feel of this book. I'm getting ready for a 4-country trip to Scandinavia and this guide looks to be a major source of information to use our limited time effectively. I certainly recommend it...
I didn't get lost!!

I found good value, clean places to stay, and even great breakfasts. I was able to find reasonable restaurants with excellent food, advice on tipping, and even explanations for what the food on the menu was. This guide was all I needed to bring with me on my trip
A concise and competent guide.

Frommers guide to Scandanavia was of great help to me on a trip to Denmark. I wanted to stay in Copenhagen, visit Elsinore, the Vikingship museam at Roskilde, see the sights in Copenhagen itself etc. I didn't get lost, I made all my journeys by train, I found good value clean accomodation with great breakfasts. I was able to find reasonable restaurants with excellent food on offer, and all of it came out of the Frommers guide. I got advice I needed on issues such as tipping, and I got explanations for what the food on the menu's was, and what was good to eat in Denmark. All in all I found this to be an excellent guide and I would heartily recommend both Frommers and Denmark to any traveller. Skol!
