I am a swede and I'm gonna tell some things that he said a little more; 1: Everyone can english. Yeah, he's right, we have learned english from pre-school or even daycare. 2: Expensive alcohol. Yes, he's pretty right. But when he said there is only *ONE* store, there can be some misunderstandings, there is actually often atleast one in every municipality in small cities, but in most larger cities there is pretty many of these stores. They are called "Systembolaget". 3: Visit stockholm. That is pretty true, I would reccomend that you visit Stockholm / Gothenburg or another city. 4: Use trains. This is pretty good said, they are smart to use to transport around 5: Public wifi. He's actually saying true things, almost everything has Public wifi. If you're going to sweden, have a great visit and thank you for visiting! But if you're just reading this, thank you for reading!
@@rinokumera5907 Yeah, but not often. Often the minicipality have public wifi in some parts of the city (often in the most busiest parts), or at a tourist attraction (theme park, museum, etc.).
Honestly, as a Swede myself, Gothenburg is just so much better. Stockholm is way more European city, while Gothenburg has that true Swedish character and charm. They also have way better food on the west, especially crabs. I’ve lived on both sides, so I really recommend Gothenburg if you really want to see Sweden
Yes, come here to West coast and its archipelagos (and to many fellow swedes: stop calling all of it ”The Gothenburg Archipelago”; most of it is the much bigger ”Bohuslän Archipelago”
1 IMPORTANT thing you missed! Make sure you can use your card before visiting Sweden. Because Sweden is the world's most cashless country! While multiple places still allow you to pay with cash. More and more places go over to only accepting card payments. It's a MUST to ask if they accept cash before you order anything to save you from complications/trouble.
I am immigrant😂 I know you hate me😂 but living in Sweden for one year. Man, I love Swedish people, they are so sweet. I used to live in America for 20 years and I am telling you it is really really different.. American people are careless about each other, but Swedish people are so so nice I love all of them
@@pianora Keep Dreaming. Sweden i beutifull and it is many cool things u can do and see. But if u ask me i should say that Sweden is a little bit boring. Were are u from?
If you're traveling by train in sweden, you should probably also know that the further you travel north, the fewer trains there's going to be. Halfway through the country, they just kinda dissappear.
I’m from Sweden and just so y’all know when to visit here it’s in the Summer time, TRUST MEE It’s so nice and warm yet cool Just trust me!! (Winter here is really cold tho) it’s 2 degrees rn and it’s only fall😅 waiting for y’allllll😙
Yeh I went Stockholm summer 2022 July for 14 Nights and it was the best I am very fair so you know what going somewhere too hot is not good for me i just burn.. Sweden was perfect I felt like i fitted in but then some folk thought i was Swedish well i do have traits thanks to my dads side.
@BostonElton We have higher standards for food than the Americans, at least legally. Maybe not in taste. (Svensk mat är en mardröm om man inte kan tvinga i sig potatismos eller olika typer av konserverad/gravad/rökt/surad fisk)
A warning to young guys, don’t go to Sweden for casual sex and partying. We have the harshest and most complicated laws and regulations and you could easily get yourself in big trouble. Go to Denmark or Germany for instance.
Mhm! But Sweden has lots off laws that your not allowed to sell alcohol in a supermarket. In “systembolaget”, (you can find it in almost every streeet LOL) your allowed to by alcohol by visiting your leg and showing your 18+. But in supermarket you can find non alcoholic beers etc.
+ people in Sweden are not very talkative and will sometimes try to end the conversation as fast as possible with people they don’t know and mind their own business 😊
English is our first compulsory foreign language and we have to speak English during our English lessons, so we practice English a lot and it helps that we don't dub English speaking problems
Visit in the summer! Whether you come to Stockholm or Gothenburg(Göteborg) take a boat ride to the islands. Most islands in the world and it's beautiful. It's included in the normal bus tickets so buy a day pass to eazy get around.
@@Englishsea24 well, we have cash, but digital currency is mostly used here. There are also checkouts where you are not allowed to use cash, (only card).
@@elsaeng1781 Is that a plus or a problem for most swedes. Here in the uk, many of us are worrying about blindly going into a cashless society since we feel it's going to restrict our freedom somewhat. And there's the worry about technical failures too. At least 70% of places still accept cash, so we have that as backup
I am from UAE 🇦🇪 Dubai, now in Copenhagen and planning to discover Sweden, so tomorrow planning for Melmo and then for other places! I feel people of Denmark and Sweden will be more or less same, and they are very humble and simple! I love Volvo, for sure I will Sweden 🇸🇪 too😊
To discover Sweden somewhat, you need a couple of weeks. Here are my recommendations: 1. Cities to visit: Stockholm (the capital, beautiful place) Göteborg (second largest city with the biggest theme park and other cool stuff) Malmö (two nights here, one for transfers, and another for experiences) Visby (home to a very old town wall and other cool ruins and buildings) "The west coast" Lysekil, Smögen, Strömstad and so on (very touristy, and for a good reason. Try the shrimp!) Falun (cool mining town in central Sweden, surrounded by typical (beautiful) Swedish terrain) Örnsköldsvik (the city is not that interesting, but Höga kusten is. There land has risen over 300m in a couple thousand years and is thus home to the "highest coast" in the world) Kiruna (home of the ice hotel, in the far north, experiences the northern lights and has polar days and nights, meaning the sun sometimes doesnt rise or fall. Whats not to like? 2. Nature, the nature in Sweden is stunning. Just go wherever really. We have right to roam laws so go ahead and roam. I generally recommend "fjällen", aka the mountains. Grövelsjön, Sarek, Idre fjäll, Åre, Abisko. We also have big lakes like Vänern and Vättern. Aaaaand nice forests like the ones in Omberg. 3. Other sights: Rökstenen (viking runes) Ancient petroglyphs (more common on the west coast) Kålmården (zoo theme park hybrid) 4. Transit: In Stockholm, take public transit. It's good. Use the SL app to buy tickets and to find your way around. In Malmö and Göteborg it's up to you. In all the others, take a car. When travelling intercity, take a train if the distances are long. Trust me, Sweden is not small, and very sparcely populated. And trains allow you to relax and get some sleep, much better than driving for ten hours. 5. Come in summer. Except when going to Kiruna. In summer the temperature is good and the nature stunning. In winter half of the country is cold moist depression, and the other buried in snow. And thats all I bothered to write. If you only plan on visiting Sweden for a couple of days, then just go to Stockholm and maybe Göteborg. But please stay longer than that, maybe next year? Hope this helps if I'm not to late😊
I would not recommend the ABBA museum, but rather any of the historical museums, Cosmonova (an iMax theatre with educational movies), any boat tour or a walking tour of the old town.
While I do like Stockholm (and have lived in the Stockholm area), if tourists have limited time and want to visit both Denmark and Sweden, going to Malmö instead is a good idea. I'm not sure why Malmö has such a bad rap as being dangerous and a place to avoid - it's absolutely not and has a great old town area (Gamla staden vs Gamla Stan in Stockholm). Stockholm has more big museums and the Royal Palace, but there is a lack of an actual high speed rail. There is the SJ Snabbtåg which just has fewer stops. If you are going from Copenhagen to Stockholm, it really takes 5 hours of travel time, plus with all the time getting to and from the train stations that's a full day. Malmö has a lot of nice restaurants and nightlife, the old medieval city area which is adjacent to shopping, and Malmö Castle. I know people who have tried to do all these countries during a 2 week trip to Europe and spent most of the time traveling between those countries. Taking advantage of areas like Copenhagen and Malmö (or the ferry between Stockholm and Turko Finland) would make those types of trips easier).
Went to Stockholm summer 2022 for 14 nights may I just say it was amazing and you are right I visited the ABBA museum twice lol I also took SJ train to Gothenburg for the day it was worth every penny the trip was the best, and I am going to Gothenburg for a week for New Year next month. May I just say Hej to my friends there x C U SOON SWEDEN X
I’m glad to hear an English speaker can get around easily in the country. How about customs? Like, handshakes when meeting people, or other customary things when meeting people for the first time?
wouldn't the public wifi be unsafe tho? i am a ethical hacker and going to immigrate to sweden soon. any swedish people who can explain the safety of using public wifi?
Alcohol here is expensive yes! But do not buy it at the airport! Airports tend to be more expensive than normal, so usually, it's not worth it. Especially if you land in Copenhagen in Denmark to then go to Sweden. The most affordable alcohol is beer which you find at bars and most grocery stores. But apart from "Systembolaget", bars and clubs, it's illegal to sell drinks that contain more than 4,5% or 5,5% alcohol (something around that) in Sweden.
I visited Stockholm for first time last week and it was nice, but I think Malmö and Gothenburg were much better than Stockholm. And about the ABBA museum... well, I personally don't like that group (I didn't know they existed before going to Stockholm... lol), so I decided to go to Avicii The Experience instead (my favorite dj) and it was one of the best things I could've done in Sweden.
About the train... I think tickets are not that expensive if you get them with anticipation... I had to pay almost 1,500 SEK for a single ticket from Malmö to Stockholm because I got it an hour before the departure, and then I realized that tickets for one or two days later were much cheaper (around 700 SEK) with the same company (SJ).
As a seed the reason why we are good at English is because you must learn it and you start in 1st grade and stop when you are not going in any sort of education
@cianmacgana9092 Historically, rape has been defined as forced sexual intercourse initiated against a woman or man by one or several people, without consent. In recent years, several revisions to the definition of rape have been made to the law of Sweden, to include not only intercourse but also comparable sexual acts against someone incapable of giving consent, due to being in a vulnerable situation, such as a state of fear or unconsciousness. In 2017, there were 4,895 reported rape cases and 190 convictions. In 2018, Sweden passed a new law that criminalizes sex without consent as rape, even when there are no threats, coercion, or violence involved. Sweden no longer requires prosecutors to prove the use or threat of violence or coercion. This led to a rise in convictions of 75% to 333.
Its pretty funny to hear people saying how pretty Stockholm is as someone living and from there. Like Gamlastan is very nice yes and you should visit that part, but the non-tourist rest of Stockholm, where most people (including me) live is not super pretty and sometimes ugly or boring
@@Linaalattar120 oh okay that's a very normal thing in brazil too lol. a lot of young people think they're gangsters or actually are. I thought in sweden it would be way more serious as I heard stockholm is a bit dangerous
I disagree with the sim card part. However you can buy a cheap one and get by without much data or call time. (And you don't need a local one, just a EU one)
Well, a swede I cannot confirm that. Uh in some places, but it barely happens. We have laws and lots off police’s and good security in Sweden. I hope you feel safe when visiting Sweden 🇸🇪 😮😊
Every part of Sweden has its charms. Stockholm is definitely not the best or most beautiful city. If you want to experience Sweden for real you need to think smaller. Go on a roadtrip along the coast from south to north.
Good video. But I live in Sweden and I can say to you that you can’t even compare Stockholm and Göteborg/Gothenburg. Göteborg is so so much better then Stockholm. It’s absolutely top 3 best citys in north
