Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you are going there chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travellers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globe-trotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveller, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money.

Journey north with Lonely Planet and discover wonders for travellers of any budget. LP's Iceland, Greenland and Faroe Islands contains more than 100 maps; details on food and accommodations; advice on trekking routes and organised tours; notes on Arctic phenomena, flora and fauna; extensive transportation details; and useful arts and culture sections. The author's intriguing sidebars range from pieces on puffin release and wild island cuisine to plutonium peril in Pituffik. --Kathryn True --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a good start for your holiday!, 7 Aug 2001
By kristian.rintala@hut.fi (Helsinki, Finland) - See all my reviews
This Lonely Planet title is good start for your trip to Iceland and/or Greenland. As other Lonely Planet guidebooks, this also includes short descriptions of e.g. history, politics and traditions. Most importantly, it also gives information about hostels and hotels along with their contact information and prices. With staying just one night in an inexpensive, but nice place, you can save more than the original price of the book. This book saved me money, helped me to plan and fulfil the trip. Great value!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and practical guidebook, 12 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Lonely Planet Guide to Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands is not only an excellent guide book in the fine tradition of Lonely Planet books, it is also a fascinating read about the three countries visited. All the usual essential information is there for travellers to any of these countries - how to get there, where to stay, what to see and do. There is also a fascinating chapter on the history and culture of the three countries where you are likely to learn much that you didn't know about these three remote places. My only slight criticism is the lack of photographs of Greenland and the Faroe Islands but all in all it is an ideal companion for anyone wishing to get the most from their trip to the far north.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best lonely planet guide book, 26 May 2004
By A Customer
We tend to travel a lot and we often use the lonely planet books. They are always very useful. However this particular one was very disappointing, a lot of the places of interest are not even listed in the index so you have to go chapter by chapter to read about something. Most of the time, once you have found what you look for, it does not give you much practical information about it (apart from hotels and places to it, which appear to be the highlight).
