Book Description
Each country - Sweden, Norway and Denmark - is unique, but all three have been bound together by a common heritage since the Viking era. This guide covers the major cities (Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm), as well as the small towns and the beautiful mountains, forests and lakes. The spectacular fjords here are long and usually enclosed by mountains. The author explores the legends, the history, and the food, from Sweden's smorgasbord to the 200 kinds of fish eaten in Norway!
