It was difficult to follow where (the location) things described in the text are in relation to each other (we walked everywhere). However google maps on our cell phone solved this challenge. Its recommendations for attractions in Bergen, Oslo, and Stockholm were most helpful.

I just came back from the Rick Steves 2 week Scandinavia tour, and I relied heavily on this book for Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The walks were really good, and all the listings were accurate and helpful. The background information was good, too.It is 900 pages but somehow feels about a third that size as far as carrying it around.The Lonely Planet Scandinavia 2023 guide book, FYI, is totally useless. They changed their format, or something else, I don’t know, but it was totally useless. I took both books on my trip.Make sure to get the updated 2024 edition as it is about 150 pages longer and even better than the previous edition.

You don’t need to know about every attraction, every hotel, every restaurant. You need to know which are the best choices for your limited time at the destination. The only negative is that the book is printed on very thin paper (to make the book thinner and lighter) – but that means that a highlighter will show through on the reverse side of the page.

I always use Rick Steves guidebooks for Europe travel locations along side Lonely Planet guides.
