 Great for students March 18, 2001
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
I went to Norway in the summers of 2000 and 2001, and both times I brought a Lonely Planet book. I found them to be very informative, and when I went from Oslo-Bergen-Trondheim-Oslo, they were very helpful in finding hostels and places to eat. Overall, it was a good buy. Compared to the Fodor's guide, this one was aimed more to budget travellers (i.e. students).
Generally a good book December 12, 1999

During my two-week whirlwind driving tour around southern Norway, I used both LP Norway along with Fodor's Norway, and found Lonely Planet to be much more informative and better at capturing the essence of the country. I'm basing my opinion on both this trip and my previous experience living in Stavanger for 3 years as a teenager. This year's journey covered a lot of ground, originating in Stavanger, heading south along the coast through Kristiansand, northeast through Oslo, north through Lillehammer, and west through Lom to Geiranger, and then south through Gudvangen, Stalheim, and Bergen and back to Stavanger. In most regards, this book was pretty much right on the mark.One aspect of the book which bothered me was the fact that it placed too much emphasis on Svalbard, an island archipelago halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, and not enough emphasis on central and southern Norway, where over 98% of the population lives and the bulk of the tourist kroner are spent.
