Great tool for travel planning a quick trip to this region of England
I visited Oxford las month and this Pocket Guide was a great value. Sights and pubs reviews were spot on. One thing though: during graduation season, several sights are closed down for private events. Duke Humfrey's library and the Sheldonian Theater were unavailable during my trip. Maybe there's a note in the guide which I might have missed, but a heads-up on this would be nice.

A Beautifully Crafted Guide to Sweden
This Lonely Planet Sweden guide exceeded my expectations in every way. The formatting is exceptional - clean, intuitive, and makes finding information effortless whether you're planning ahead or navigating on the go.
The maps are particularly well-done, providing clear visual context that helps you understand not just where places are, but how they connect to each other. The points of interest are thoughtfully curated and presented in an accessible format that makes it easy to prioritize what to see based on your interests and time constraints.
What really sets this guide apart are the engaging stories woven throughout. Rather than just listing facts, the book brings Sweden's culture, history, and character to life through compelling narratives that made me genuinely excited about each destination. The photography is stunning and does an excellent job of capturing the essence of what makes each location special.
As someone planning a trip to both Norway and Sweden, this guide gave me the confidence to explore beyond the obvious tourist spots while ensuring I didn't miss the must-see highlights. The visual layout makes it easy to flip through and discover unexpected gems.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting a well-researched, beautifully presented guide to Sweden.
