Borlange, Solo travel
Stayed in Borlänge during summer and went to a small outdoor restaurant close to the station. Alot of live music during the weeks (tickets needed) but such a great experience and atmosphere. Would love to go back!

I really enjoyed my time in Stockholm at the end of August! ✨ The city is super clean, well connected by public transport ( the metro stations are full of art🤩) and very safe overall (just be cautious around slussen at night). It was my third time in the city and went to Abba museum (very worth it), ice bar, Drottningholm palace, Gamla Stan, Stadhuset and I can recommend everything! Loved Swedish meatballs, cinnamon buns and having fika! If you get a chance to go to Stockholm, you'll not regret it 💌

Sweden is a beautiful country. Everyone there was so kind and welcoming. I enjoyed having fika with my family and new friends. The sweets were so good! I was surprised while I was there the sun never faded at night. Felt like a dream. 💕

It is a sporty area with a lot of youth walking around. The crimes are just some minor stealth from time to time and youth having fun with firecrackers at night. I haven't felt unsafe here the short time I have lived here.

Very safe and quiet town. I live here and I never feel unsafe. Still I would maybe recommend to stay in lit areas at night but you don’t have to worry to much. Overall I would recommend it. It’s also close to Gothenburg but far safer to stay in.

As an queer person I've never felt more unsafe in the city than the suburbs where I live. With that said, there are assholes everywhere but I've never felt like I couldn't be myself or hold hands/kiss my girlfriend in public :) Generally people don't care here.
