One may think, yeah yeah, she skimmed it for the relevant info. But Oh no... I read the whole thing. twice. A little bit obsessed with Sweden at the moment.

Despite being a couple of years old, I still found it useful. We only visited a few places in Sweden but the information contained in the book was still relevant (can't say I've ever used a guide book to select accommodation), and the overall background and history was interesting.

Built on no fewer than fourteen islands, where the fresh water of Lake Mälaren meets the brackish Baltic Sea, clean air and open space are in plentiful supply here. One-third of the area within the city limits is made up of water, while another third comprises parks and woodlands, including the world's first urban national park, where you can swim and fish just minutes from the city centre. Broad boulevards lined with elegant buildings are reflected in the deep blue water, and rows of painted wooden houseboats bob gently alongside the cobbled waterfront.
