"Scan-tastic" - reader review on amazon.co.uk, November 2001


Product Description

"The Rough Guide to Scandinavia" provides an introduction to the highlights of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. It contains informed accounts of every city and major town, from Cosmopolitan Copenhagen to relaxed, stylish Oslo. The team of authors give insider reviews of the best places to eat, drink, sleep and party, dispelling the image of Scandinavia as one of the most expensive destinations in Europe. There is equally expansive coverage given to the countryside, from the wild wastes of the Arctic to Norway's deep fjords and serene glaciers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scan-tastic!, 16 Sep 2000
By A Customer
I have travelled a lot, and read a lot of guidebooks, but this one achieved the perfect balance of information, tips, culture stuff and practical ideas. Also, as it is written about quite a large area of land, it is amazing that the authors managed to get enough information on each country as they did! My faveourite part was the section on Copenhagen, which I thought gave a perfect insight into the city. The guide was also very good on Uppland in Sweden, where I had visited before, but this time, I saw and did a lot more with the help of this book. I like the way that Scandinavia:a rough guide gives the reader cultural information, such as etiquette (remember to take your shows off in Sweden!) and history. This adds an extra level of insight to your visit. My friend called the book 'Scan-tastic', which sums it up perfectly!

5.0 out of 5 stars As Good As Ever, 22 Mar 2005
By A Customer
For a book covering four countries, this is excellent value. I have used the older edition of this book for several budget weekends in the featured cities and I can honestly say it has been the only book I have taken with me!
It's in the usual style of the series, of course, which should appeal not just to budget travellers. There's just the right level of history and political background material as well.
In the same region, their new guide to the Baltic States looks interesting - I'm just waiting for some readers' reviews!

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read!, 8 Jun 2003
By A Customer
I've read about 10 travel books in my time, it may not seem much but it's enough to get the idea of what you can excpect out of a 'travel book series'. By far this is the best account of a country in a travel book I have read - and not only that you get 4 countries for the price of one (£15.99 in your local bookshop opposed to £15.99 each!). Not only is this guide good for travelling but it's good for if you want to just read up about a country that interests you. I bought this book soely for the Norway section but found the other (3) sections very interesting too, this really is a full acount of Scandinavia. Be warned though if you are excpecting to see Iceland (and Greenland) in this guide - well you wont, for some reason Iceland (and Greenland) seem to have been left out of the defenition of Scandinavia by 'Rough Guides'. However don't let that put you off, this truly is a good value, very interesting and all round good book!
