3 out of 5 stars About average.......2007-03-10

I am ususally a DK Eyewitness fan, but the Lonely Planet Stockholm was more recent in it's copywright. Most information was helpful except when heading to Gripsholms Slott, which wasn't open to any public until May, we visited in February.
Also some of the stores noted for shopping in Galma Stad didn't exist.

4 out of 5 stars Reliable guide for an amazing Scandinavian city.......2006-08-15

Becky Ohlsen provides an excellent, personalized overview of Stockholm's many museums, cafes, hotels, etc. We relied on her book for our too-brief three-day stay in the city, and were consistently happy with the advice given. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Decent Guide to Stockholm.......2006-02-20

Good coverage of history and has more detail than most city guides by other publishers. The maps are good but a removable fold-out would have been better. Overall an interesting read and useful resource.
