"Many high lighted features noted on the map.Looking forward to our trip to Norway next month."

"Good map, has most streets you need."
"Tiny writing required wearing readers for my aging eyes but all the major attractions are covered."
"It was the right size for my purse and helped me get around."
"After a week in Oslo, I love this map."
"This is a great little map for any tourist, but it could use a some local train information (like a London tube overview) because the Oslo train lines are often much more direct and useful for accessing most of this wonderful city's main attractions."
"The free map at the airport was actually more useful."
"This map is in Norwegian."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Since it focusses on a couple of places extensively, with handy, informative city walks and lots of info about eating, sleeping and transportation, but skips entire parts of the Scandinavic countries, this guide is very good, and perhaps even more useful than the Lonely Planet, if you only visit those places described in the book and not the rest."
"It even has tips and locations for all types of budgets to get the quality and price you want for meals."
"It can't, of course, cover everything, and a few bits were already slightly out of date, but that's only natural with a tour book."
"Great summary of different areas with good detail on activities to do."
"So many good pointers for travel in this book."
"Very fast service."
"The book itself is very good, it is the e book version that is terrible and almost impossible to use as a reference."
