Norway travel guide

This little book gives everything you could want in a guide. It is thorough, succinct, and well endowed with pictures, recommendations, and very good quality pull-out and inset maps, typical of the Lonely Planet series. Just what need for getting around.Only downsides: information is mostly 2+ years old, and some specific things have changed, such as bus and train information. Also, to keep the guide small enough to easily haul around, detailed descriptions are sometimes less than complete.

This book, a cellphone, and a tent got me through a great two week trip in Norway this summer. I took a loop of the south, and this book had everything I needed to get around and find places to sleep. Great lists of hostels and hotels with up to date contact info, nice maps for most of the cities I visited, and perfect instructions for finding the sights. I spent a huge amount of time with this book at my fingertips, referencing which bus to take, etc. The book is easy to navigate and provided great inspiration during the planning phase of my trip. I couldn't be happier with it.

Very good guide to Norway. Well written. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is wrong about ethnic restaurants being the cheapest place to eat. We found it cheaper walk a little away from the touristy areas and eat real Norwegian food. We didn't go to Norway to eat pizza! Also the restaurants it recommends are not good - one was downright disgusting. We found TripAdvisor's recommendations excellent for restaurants - all of their recommendations were top notch. The book also fails to point out that many restaurants are closed for July! That would have saved us a lot of time. We did most of their 'Top Experiences' and they were spot on. We did the Oslo-Bergen railway and stayed in beautiful Bergen for 5 nights taking in the Flam railway and the Sognefjorden. We took the Hurtigruten to Kirkennes, which brings you right into the Geirangerfjorde, Trollfjorden, Tronheim, the Lofoten Islands and Tromso. It was good for Oslo, except that it fails to mention that the very expensive Munch Museum is tiny and really not worth it. Otherwise an excellent guide.

This book has been amazing. I am halfway through a two week tour across southern Norway and in each location from Oslo to Pulpit Rock, this book has been a wonderful, portable companion (not to mention water-resistant). Restaurant recommendations are accurate and the "Top Choice" attractions are gems, some of which we never would have found otherwise. While some price information was slightly off, who can expect a book to keep up with rapidly changing attraction prices based on seasonality? Lonely Planet has convinced us to buy a corresponding book for each vacation we take in the future. Thanks LP!

Bought this as a gift for someone going to Norway. Great book for an overview of The country or if you want info on a specific town.

I use Lonely Planet books whenever I travel. I'm a budget traveler and I find the information in the books really do guide me in the right direction. Love staying in the hostels, which are a great way to find great information on where to go and where to avoid. Keep up the good work...On to Norway and Iceland...great job

I feel cheated. This so-called 2010 Kindle edition makes predictions about things that might happen by the end of 2008, such as Bergen having city-wide internet. Other parts seem out of date. This appears to be the 2008 print edition, simply renamed by Amazon as the 2010 Kindle edition. Lonely Planet is releasing a 2011 edition of this Norway guide in May 2011. I would have waited to buy the 2011 version had I not been misled by Amazon.

Just what is needed whether you are taking a driving trip or a cruise. Something to do in every city, prioritized to save you time and effort. A must for that first or tenth trip to Norway.

he sido un a fan de las guias Lonely Planet desde hace mas de 25 años. Esta guia de Noruega era como las páginas amarillas: sin encanto, sin consejos, sin capítulos como "off the beaten track", o " what to see around one place", sin información de autobuses o conexiones .... un gasto inútil de dinero y una decepción.

This book is very informative coving the whole of Norway although I am only interested in where I intend going for Christmas this book covers so much more and I can read it and remember my previous trips there and I hope also plan new ones…..

Produto de excelente conteúdo.
