Summary: Too Thin
Review: Although I've found several of the Rick Steve's books great, this one is not. I'm staying in Stockholm for four months and the book simply does not cover many things in Sweden. There's very little mention of the archipelago around Stockholm. The treatment of the Stockholm museums is equally weak. I think Sweden desreves a book of it's own -- not folded into a Norway, Sweden, Denmark book where none get the attention they deserve. I have the Rick Steve's Scotland book. That's an example of the treatment Sweden should get. In the particular treatment of Stockholm, I wonder if Steve (or his staff) wrote it from the view of a person taking a boat here and having only a day or two. Beyond a few days, the "Stockholm" portion of the book is worthless.

Summary: Great Time had by all
Review: I live in Sweden and have done a fair amount of traveling around the region. I own several of Rick's books, including his UK book which was quite good for our trip there last month. However, this book is second rate in content and quality.The book is very thin and leaves out both very significant places and essential details about the places it covers. Scandinavia is fabulous, but this book won't get you too far. Unfortunately I haven't found one that will. .... The quality of the book is horrible. I was chasing pages down the streets of Tallinn cursing Rick's name two days ago. A tour book should be able to hold together. Carrying it around is really the point, right?

Summary: scandanavia 2000
Review: The best reccommendation he made in Copenhagen was Richard Karpen's walking tours of Copenhagen. Richard is a transplanted New Yorker. He does 4 different tours of Copenhagen (we wound up going on 3 of the 4). Each tour was about 2 to 2 and a half hours. We met him outside the Tourist Office near Tivoli near the HARD ROCK CAFE. The walking was fun, the sights and insights were excellent and the price was right ($6.00pp) When we called Richard to get the details he promptly returned our phone call. Reservations are not necessary.
