I was very impressed with this Stockholm guide. On my way to Stockholm, I started reading about the various neighborhoods, the city's history, literature, museums, music venues, society and modern life. The book was very informative on all fronts. During my weekend in the city, I relied exclusively on this book and was never disappointed. Many travel guides avoid color pictures because of high printing costs - not Time Out. Be it restaurants, museums, or galleries, this guide gives you the full description in conjunction with the photograph. The book is also well organized, has a decent index, and overall is just a joy to read. The maps were useful when I walked miles across the city, and the restaurant recommendations were spot on in terms of price level, quality, and interior style. In sum, Time Out has published an essential and comprehensive guide book for your trip to Stockholm.
