Should I get this Snapshot guide in addition to Rick's Scandinavia guidebook?

Nope! Our Snapshot guides are simply excerpted chapters from our full-length guidebooks. Snapshot: Copenhagen & the Best of Denmark covers the exact same topics as the Denmark chapters of Rick Steves Scandinavia — the same hotels, same restaurants, same sightseeing information, same everything.

Latest updates: When we learn of critical changes to the information in our guidebooks on Denmark, we post them. (Of course, it's still smart to reconfirm critical transportation and sightseeing details locally.) Armed with a Rick Steves guidebook and these late-breaking updates, you're set for a great trip!
