Visit the Oslo Cathedral, surround yourself with Gudbrandsdal Valley\u2019s time-worn hills and log cabins, or get immersed in history at Bergen\u2019s Hanseatic Quarter. You\u2019ll get Rick\u2019s firsthand advice on the best sights, eating, sleeping, and nightlife, and the maps and self-guided tours will ensure you make the most of your experience. More than just reviews and directions, a Rick Steves Snapshot guide is a tour guide in your pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Rick Steves Snapshot guides consist of excerpted chapters from Rick Steves European country guidebooks. Snapshot guides are a great choice for travelers visiting a specific city or region, rather than multiple European destinations. These slim guides offer all of Rick\u2019s up-to-date advice on what sights are worth your time and money. They include good-value hotel and restaurant recommendations, with no introductory information (such as overall trip planning, when to go, and travel practicalities).<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-3\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px;
