Format:Paperback
I never was a great fan of the lonely planet guides and probably never will be. Most travel books I buy have big pictures with highlights of the must see points in a place. My partner on the other hand has an eye for the detail and the lonely planet guides are the only ones she will ever buy.
When we started looking for a book for Norway for our trip this summer, this was one of the few books available on the areas we wanted to cover. And I have to admit, the detail and accuracy of the book is quite astonishing.
We started our journet in Bergen and moved on to some remote parts. Where as the Bergen Guide(available from the tourist board) is your best bet for Bergen, you will not find find a better book for the other parts of Norway. All details like locations, restaurants, trips, activities were remarkably accurate and went a long way in making our holiday memorable.
I might finally be getting converted to a lonely planet fan!

Found the book a very handy reference for the journey - interesting and well written, with a good deal of practical detail, great value recommendations. Excellent coverage of both cities and more remote areas. The author's own fascination with the country is very contagious. Highly recommended.

No mather what type of travel budget you are on you've to watch out going to Norway. This book is the best investment you can make to avoid blowing your budget. Readers used to Lonley Planet guide books know what they get. This edition is no exeption. Even with some factual errors you'll know what to see, what to avoid and how to get around. Usefull even for me as a Norwegian getting hints on those not as common attractions.

Generally up to the usual LP mark - but some proof-reading mistakes.
The 2011 edition represented a good guide for my needs and I would recommend it. A couple of quibbles on layout/quality - why has the history section been moved to the end when it... Read more
