Scandanavia: The Rough Guide, Third Edition

by Mick Sinclair, Jules Brown

Scandinavia is a suprisingly ill-documented part of Europe, whose countries comprise an intriguing and disparate region. This travel companion has been designed to aid all visitors, from backpackers to business travellers, and to keep their costs within affordable levels. It provides extensive coverage of each Scandinavian capital city, featuring 40 pages on Oslo and its surroundings. Specialist background sections cover the northern lights, Finnish cooking, and even the basics of survival in the northern tundra. There is also a chapter on the 1994 Winter Olympics at Lillehammer, Norway, which covers events, accommodation and restaurants.
