This was one of two books I had on Sweden during a three-week trip. Like another reader, I found that there was a lot of information that I didn't need (food and hotels). What I liked about it was the information about the different cities I visited and information about some activities and locations.

I love to read travel guides. The information and insight make for a lovely vicarious vacation. This book will probably make into the small pile of books I keep here because I have an obsession with Scandinavia. I definitely hope we get to go visit Sweden as it's a fascinating country.

In a way, I don't appreciate LP guides as they focus too much in hotels and restaurants (do I care about eating vietnamese food in Malmö?). In the other, they give a brief essential knowledge of the spirit of the country. Personally, I didn't care much about the geology of Scandinavia but I liked for example the notions about Samis and the relationship of Sweden with their neighbours along history. All, obviously, conveyed through the lens of tourism. After Touring Club Italiano's guide, probably the best on the market.

"Lonely Planet Sweden" is an excellent travel guide that offers a wealth of information and recommendations for both tourists and locals. With its comprehensive coverage of popular and hidden spots across Sweden, this guide is invaluable. The practical tips and cultural insights make it a trusted companion for exploring everything from Stockholm's old town to the Arctic wilderness.

Lonely Planet Books are indispensable, I just wish they were better at referencing the map in the text, and the page ref from the map key.

Must get it out of the library again before going. Not a lot of info on my special interests, but a pretty good description of the areas I might like to go.

Almost too much information:). Excellent travel guide for both those travelling and living in Sweden.

Got enough ideas for things to do during our summer holidays.
Always nice to plan that with this guide and already having lots of fun doing it before you go.

[Michal Ormoš · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really nice guide with not just hotels/restaurants around but also with a fine load of interesting facts and information. Actually, you can skip hotels/restaurants parts as this thing and prices get easily outdated.

This series does not disappoint. There are lots of gorgeous pictures, a detailed look at each region with area locals giving recommendations. I appreciate the bits of history tucked in, which always makes me want to learn more about each country.
