Scandinavia 12 (Lonely Planet)

Great advice for the budget traveler. I have been relying on the Lonely Planet travel books since the early 1980's and they always have good advice. The guide for Scandinavia has really helped me in planning our family journey to Sweden, Norway, and Finland and I love that include ideas for kids and families. Although it is geared primarily toward the budget youth hostel crowd, I still find Lonely Planet to be reliable and sensible now that I am traveling with my children and staying in actual hotels.

Pretty good, nice volume though obviously is more info in individual books on each country seperatly. Would still recommend this though. If your just going to one country, the Rough Guides might be a nice option too.

Got it earlier than projected. Great resource, not much more to say. Buy the newest edition since it is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most folks so price in the big picture of overall trip costs is nominal. I write hotel reviews and note things on margins so at the end it is a useful souvenir and good way to organize photos too.

I was kicking myself once I got this. It is presented in a dull, dry format with a lot of things that you don't want and missing a lot you do. For instance, I went on a popular tour of the area and we stayed at many well-known hotels. You would have thought at least one of the many would have been listed and reviewed, nope. I cannibalized my book to take only the parts relevant but never used it as another couple had the Rick Steves guide and we were all huddled around it. Next time Rick will get my business.

This guide is very helpful. If you're spending more time in Iceland, I recommend also buying the Lonely Planet guide to Iceland by itself. Still, the Scandinavia guide will give you everything you need to play a multi-week trip to this area of the world.

We are traveling to Iceland and Norway, and I thought this book would be more compact than buying separate guides for each country. It turned out to be a waste of time and money - too little detail on any one place to be of much use.

Very concise an with all the right and needed information.

We used this guide for background reading on history and sights as well as restaurant suggestions. It tends to offer more upscale restaurants than the Rick Steves guide.

Ottima guida, frasi corte e semplici da tradurre perfetta per chi decide di fare un viaggetto nel nord europa poiché comprende danimarca svezia norvegia islanda e finlandia che singolarmente costerebbero molto di più. Edizione recentissima 2015!!!

il réunit tous les pays scandinaves. Les conseils sont digne de lonely planet.Je l'ai utilisé pour copenhague, oslo, stockholm, helsinki.

I bought this as a gift and the receiver loved it (as did I when I had a look through it myself before wrapping it) - plenty of information, clear maps and pictures, great ideas for things to do, and a down-to-earth narrative throughout. Very good buy!

Muy completa. Como todas las guías Lonely Planet, que son las que siempre suelo usar. Estoy pensando comprarla en papel ya que en ebook es un poco más difícil para mi de ir hacia delante y detrás cuando me hace falta.

Da ich mit dem Rucksack 3 Wochen durch Skandinavien reise wollte brauchte ich einen kompakten Reiseführer. Also fiel meine Wahl auf den Lonely Planet. Er ist mittelgroß und enthält alle skandinavischen Länder mit den Hauptreisezielen bzw. Regionen. Er ist gut strukturiert (wie alle Lonely Planets, die ich bisher hatte) und enthält gute Tipps - insbesondere für Backpacker. Die Reiseroutenvorschläge haben mir insbesondere gut gefallen. Natürlich kann man den nicht mit anderen viel detaillierte Reiseführer vergleichen aber für das Geld und die dafür vorhandene Info/Hilfe war ich sehr zufrieden. Da ich viel mit Airbnb unterwegs war habe ich viele lokale Personen kennengelernt und nach deren Tipps und Ratschlägen gefragt, die überraschenderweise deckungsgleich mit den Tipps im LP waren :) Also drei Daumen hoch für dieses Produkt!
