I was in Uppsala for a course trip from my university, i was there two days with the university and expenses mostly paid for and then two days on my own in a hostel. The prices are all very reasonable and just how you would expect them to be in a bigger city. The city has many nice buildings and places to visit and some second hand shops and museums. I personally felt very safe in the city and did not once have to worry about anything. I had a mixed dormitory in the hostel and only was a bit weary of one older guy who had a weird sleeping habit and just generally was inside the hostel room all the time which seemed kind of weird. The city was also very clean and I have talked to several locals I randomly met, everyone was very nice and helpful if I was lost.

I was shocked that stockholm was actually quite cheap. Only museums and public transport were very expensive. But loved the subway stations, loved the kardemumma buns, a little strange to walk everywhere on red light 😂 Overall fun to see, but a bit boring to come back for me
Posted: January 30, 2025Experienced: November, 2024I felt very safe, we were 6 people and we stayed together in a hostel. It was cheap but for a solo traveler it can be more expencive. We went national museum, last one hour cheaper but you should be fast. Public transportation is good, you should see Vasa museum and metro lines and if you like Abba, ABBA museum is great.
Posted: November 6, 2024I spent 2 weeks in Luleå chasing the northern lights. The whole city felt safe, never had any problems being a solo female traveler. I stayed at a local's place. They were very friendly and that helped with the cost, Luleå is expensive. I can only revommend Luleå, it was magical.
Posted: October 12, 2024Experienced: January, 2022South Sweden was absolutely gorgeous, very green and clean. People spoke fantastic English and were warm and friendly. I visited Lund and Malmö and would highly recommend both. There's a bath house in Malmö that's really nice to visit.
Posted: September 12, 2024Experienced: May, 2024Hey guys, I was with my family in Sweden, to be exact in Malmö and in the areas near of it. It was in June and honestly it was really pretty, the sunset and all is perfect. The people are very nice and helpful. But there were some difficulties: There are parking issues, you have to have an app because without this, you can't really park. The parking is free for supermarket parking. Sweden is a must go country, sadly I wasn't able to go to more places. Near Malmö, you could go to Skanör Beach.
Posted: August 19, 2024It was a great place to visit in summer and it very safe and my stay was very comfortable. I think Stockholm is a great city to see. A multicultural capital with some fantastic places to visit. shopping is great here but quite expensive due to the fact that Scandanvian countries are expensive. The boa trip trip and the sightseeing bus are the best way to see the city.

Stockholm is full of nature. If you have a tent with you, I definitely recommend staying in a nature reserve. There are many places with beautiful sunsets. You should definitely get "Too Good To Go". You can get a lot of food there for a reasonable price. The best surprise bags are available at the espresso house and Lindquist's Pastry in Stockholm.
Posted: August 7, 2024Experienced: July, 2024I hiked at the kungsleden from abisko till abiskojaure in june, it was a amazing experience, the nature was amazing and it was no problem to hike alone, because you meet a lot of new people there! definitely a must do!!

Gothenburg is the safest city I have ever experienced. The city itself is super calm, people respect each other and nobody rushes anywhere. The streets are light, wide and 95% of the city is lightened in the dark.
Posted: March 29, 2025There have been crimes done here such as gang activity vandalism and thefts, but overall, they are safe since people take action and report if such. There's always cameras on public transport which is always is reassuring

Hi there! I'm Nina, and I've been living in the south side of Chicago for over ten years! When I'm not plotting my next adventure, I'm hanging out with my black lab mix Dracula, crafting small leather goods like wallets and keychains, or going to concerts! Despite my eagerness to travel and go go go, I love watching movies and binging tv shows on the couch with my pup. I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO and when I took my first trip to Chicago in 2010, I got an overwhelming feeling of joy for experiencing new places! Since then, I've been to about half of the US states, Niagara falls in Canada, Cancun & Cozumel in Mexico. Most recently, I was able to spend some time in Scandinavia visiting Copenhagen, Stockholm, Bergen, Molde, and Oslo. In May I'll be going to Lisbon, Portugal for a week to see my favorite band KGLW and then in August they have their first US music fest in Colorado I'll be attending! I got the travel bug hard and I'm currently trying to plan a return to Scandinavia with stops in Tallin, Estonia and Turku, Finland for December! In April 2026 I have a trip planned with EF Ultimate break to go to Thailand, and I'm looking to extend and stay in Bali, or Laos!
