How to read this collection. It is a curated planning library, not a population or popularity ranking. Each guide links to official destination information and a separate factual reference.

Five country atlases, plus the Faroe Islands.
The 50 city guides cover Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. The Faroe Islands are currently explored through the regional guides to Vágar, Streymoy and Tórshavn and the Northern Islands. Greenland and Åland are outside this edition, so the guide never implies coverage it does not yet provide.
