Summary: Seemingly good book--but where's Finland?
Review: As always, Frommer's gives very informative, accurate and helpful travel information in all the domains that their guides cover. But this seems to be precisely the problem in this case: the domains are incomplete! The book has good information for the various regions of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and despite a lengthy section on planning a trip to Finland (a corresponding section of which appears for the other countries as well), the only thing covered in Finland is Helsinki! This is additionally frustrating, as in the Finland planning section, many intriguing places are mentioned, but how can I plan to see them if they are then given no coverage? Hence, if you're planning a trip to Denmark, Sweden and/or Norway, this book can't be beat, but if you're interested in Finalnd as well, better try another guidebook.

Summary: A concise and competent guide.
Review: Frommers guide to Scandanavia was of great help to me on a trip to Denmark. I wanted to stay in Copenhagen, visit Elsinore, the Vikingship museam at Roskilde, see the sights in Copenhagen itself etc. I didn't get lost, I made all my journeys by train, I found good value clean accomodation with great breakfasts. I was able to find reasonable restaurants with excellent food on offer, and all of it came out of the Frommers guide. I got advice I needed on issues such as tipping, and I got explanations for what the food on the menu's was, and what was good to eat in Denmark. All in all I found this to be an excellent guide and I would heartily recommend both Frommers and Denmark to any traveller. Skol!
