05-06-2016, 04:37 AM
Hey so I m going to move to sweden for the summer. working in construction.
I was wondering what city would be easier to pick up as a foreigner CAD??
thanks a great deal, I am really conflicted on where to go because i have never been to either one.
Also any suggestions on Europe in general would help a great deal too.

I haven't been to either, but reliable sources tell me that Malmo is getting very dangerous, but it is easy to visit from Denmark; other sources tell me that Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in northern Europe. The Fine Arts Museum is under renovation until 2018, so I won't be going until then. Good luck with your trip.

Stockholm simply because it's bigger population. But if you are on a budget Malmö might be cheaper. Neither city are dangerous.

Avoid Malmo. I used to live in Copenhagen, and went to Malmo quite often to visit friends - it's nothing special. Obesity is becoming a big issue, and while Stockholm isn't immune to that problem, there are more people and a higher probability that you will find babes. It's a bit more expensive, however, so you should take that into consideration.

I live in Malmö. It's a shithole. Only good thing is that the city is much cheaper than Stockholm. I would avoid Sweden. It's expensive and it's simply not worth it in my opinion. but definitely chose Stockholm if you have the budget. More opportunities and clubbing is on another level compared to the other cities.
Malmö is indeed getting invaded by migrants as it's in the Swedish border to Denmark.
Some examples of costs,
Cover charge for high end nightclubs:
Malmö 100-120 SEK
Stockholm up to 300 SEK.
Bus/train within the city (single ticket, valid for 1 hour):
Malmö 21 SEK
Stockholm 36 SEK
Hamburger, kebab or other crap food at 5am:
Malmö 50-60 SEK
Stockhom 80-100 SEK
Taxi fare within the city:
Malmö 90-130 SEK
Stockholm 200-500 SEK (insane)
Summers are good here though (the only time you should visit Malmö, and that's only if you really have to). Most clubs are open almost daily and you are close to the nice beaches. Most people have their summer vacations too and are more loose and relaxed.
People here actually prefer taking the train over to Copenhagen just to party.

You're good anywhere in Sweden. Focus on Stockholm and work your way up north. Malmo = the Marseille of Scandinavia, avoid it. Heard mixed reviews about Gothenburg, still plan on checking it out.
