Synopsis
This is the complete guide to Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Amazon.co.uk: "I have travelled a lot, and read a lot of guidebooks, but this one achieved the perfect balance of information, tips, cultural stuff and practical ideas. It is amazing the authors managed to get so much information on each country! The section on Copenhagen gave a perfect insight into the city. The guide was also very good on Uppland in Sweden, which I had visited before, but this time I saw and did a lot more with the help of this book."
