My wife and I depart the first week in August for a Baltic Sea cruise aboard the Silver Whisper. Just found this new hard-cover book at B&N today. It has beautiful photos and information on many of the places we will be visiting. Not only are we enjoying it now and allowing to help our trip planning, but I can see it will be a book we will treasure for many years to come.
Since it focusses on a couple of places extensively, with handy, informative city walks and lots of info about eating, sleeping and transportation, but skips entire parts of the Scandinavic countries, this guide is very good, and perhaps even more useful than the Lonely Planet, if you only visit those places described in the book and not the rest. Not all major destinations are listed, e.g. Trondheim and Göteborg are missing, hence my 4 out of 5 stars, but even with those cities missing I though it a very useful book. The city walks are excellent and somehow we often ended up in restaurants that were listed.
I bought the ebook version which was very convenient on both phone and tablet, the only disadvantage being that you have to browse quite a bit between the city walk maps and the (very informative) written description.
Places described in this guide book:
– Copenhagen
– Near Copenhagen (Roskilde and a few other sights)
– Central Denmark (àrø, àrøskøbing, Odense)
– Jutland (Aarhus, Legoland, Jelling, Himmelbjerget, Silkeborg (but oddly enough no mention is made of the main sight of the town, the Silkeborg Museum with the naturally mummified corpse of the Tollund man), Ribe)
– Oslo
– A tour suggestion via Flåm, Aurland and the Undredal
– Sognefjord
– Gudbrandsdal Valley and Jotunheimen Mountains
– Bergen
– South Norway (Stavanger, Setesdal, Hovden, Kristiansand)
– Stockholm
– Near Stockholm (Sigtuna, Uppsala)
– Stockholm’s Archipelago
– Southeast Sweden (Växjö, Glass Country, Kalmar, àland)
– Helsinki
– Tallinn
The Rick Steves books are always great for trip planning and for tips on getting around once you get to your destination. We used them exclusively for our Italy/Switzerland trip this year and were never led astray. You can count on the books to represent transportation, lodging, and tourist sites accurately and give you tips for everything. We swear by these books. We are only in the planning stages of our Scandinavian trip, so we can’t attest to the on-the-ground aspect of this book yet, but I’m sure the information will be as spot on as in his other books.
