I love this book. It's written like someone talking to you. It's a great concept and I'm thinking of purchasing books from other countries.

.Norway (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Norway
by: DK Publishing

April 21, 2003
Let me preface this by saying that normally we love the EyeWitness guides, and they are our default choice when it comes to travel guides. Unfortunately, the standard style of the EyeWitness guide breaks down when it comes to covering the entire country of Norway. While this book makes a great overview and introduction to the land and its culture, it doesn't serve as much of a guide once you're there.

One of the big selling points of EyeWitness books is their beautiful hand-drawn maps. Usually these cover interesting neighborhoods, parks, etc. In the Norway book, they use the same system to cover vast regions of the country. Since the advantage of these maps in the other books is the detail, the idea breaks down in such a large ... Read More:

.Norway (Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Norway
by: Anthony Ham

May 01, 2008

I'm still patiently waiting for a good Norway Tour Guide to be written. The Eyewitness Book is terrible. But out of a bad lot, perhaps the only one worth mentioning as worthy of taking along in a backpack is the Lonely Planet Norway.

This book isn't great; maybe it isn't even very good, but at least it does spend some effort to describe many of the amazing sites Norway has to offer. It's still quite hard for me to imagine why this great country hasn't been covered by a good book.

I for one borrowed the following books for my latest trip: Kon Tiki, The Moon is Down, A Collection of Plays by Ibsen, a Munch book, and the Lonely Planet Guide. I left the Eyewitness at home.

.The Rough Guide to Norway 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Norway
by: Rough Guides

September 04, 2006
I like this and and the Frommer's guide best for Norway. They both have good maps and good information on a lot of the places you would like to visit and good info on the best tours. You do have to be careful that either a tour hasn't been cancelled or the time has changed since the book was written. We found that in Bergen. I thought both the Rough Guide Norway and Frommer's had much more specific info on tours and things to do than the Fodor's and Lonely Planet books do. And the Rough Guide has interesting insights, eg. how you might want take the Lysefjord cruise and bus tour if you have the time because you see it from within the fjord and above it. Also, I generally like Rick Steve's guides but his Scandinavia guide is not complete enough unless you are ... Read More:

.Copenhagen Laminated Pocket Map by Pocket-Pilot
City Travel Guides > Books > Norway

April 01, 2007
Half the fun of traveling is the trip planning. The pocket map is perfect for that & such a perfect size to travel with. I like to travel light. It includes a ton of information, so I leave the heavier guide books, that have already been read, home. Very durable & easy to view. Don't leave home without it.

.Frommer's Norway (Frommer's Complete)
City Travel Guides > Books > Norway
by: Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince

June 05, 2007
My god this book was awful. This was my first (and last) purchase of a Frommer's guide. I initially bought it based solely on the fact that it was the most recently published guide for Norway among all of the available guides at the time. Much of the information was embarrasingly wrong. If you are a member of AARP, you may enjoy the suggestions in this book. The worst part was the maps. Would it kill them to put all the information such as hotels, restaurants, shopping and entertainment on the SAME map instead of making me jump back and forth between several maps? The separation of graphic information made it frustratingly difficult to plan out daily itineraries. This book found better use as toilet paper. I ended up tossing the Frommer's guide on day 2 of ...

.Living and Working in Norway: The Definitive Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Norway
by: M. Michael Brady

2006-02
I am preparing to move to Norway from the US and I have read all the books and seen all the DVD's on Norway I could get my hands on from the library. Then the company that is hiring me sent me this book from Norway, and it is by far the best book for _practical_ information. Of course I can't verify the accuracy of it yet, but if you are looking to move to Norway, or visit for an extended length of time, you should buy this book. After reading this book you will either find the answers you're looking for, or at the very least you will know where to find it. Or, you will find answers to questions you haven't even thought of yet.

We bought this book before traveling to Norway. It gave us so much valuable information. We traveled along the fjords, Bergen, and Oslo. We would have missed so much if it were not for this book. It even prepared us to expect the astronomic price of food. I think it made for a great trip because of the information in this book. Do not even think of traveling to Norway without this guide. It is worth every penny.

.Frost on my Moustache: The Arctic Exploits of a Lord and a Loafer
City Travel Guides > Books > Norway
by: Tim Moore

February 09, 2001
As you can see from other reviews, this book isn't for everyone. But if you like quirky humor; give it a try. This was the funniest book I have read in years even though my wife thought I was crazy as I often laughed so much that it hurt! If you have not traveled in Britain or read a bit of contemporary British writing, you will miss some of his humor but it is still well worth reading. Enjoy.

We found the Norway Map by ITMB to be very detailed and accurate. The only downside in our view is that there is no list of cities and towns and where to find them on the map .
