Would you rather live in London or Stockholm?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

London, absolutely. I'd do a lot of visiting battlefields and rummaging around in meadows. I'd visit York, Bosworth, Tewkesbury, Eltham manor, stop at Harrods, visit Senlac Hill (Hastings), and really do a hell of a lot of touring, yeah.

I have my passport but have never managed yet to get to England. One day!

Some of those places you listed are a bit far from London.

[Simfan34]

They are closer than Malmo, however.

I wouldn't mind. That's actually good - I've traveled all over the States. And, they'd be a lot closer to me than where I am now and a lot closer than in Stockholm!

Yeah, then there's weather.

Are the Americans aware that Stockholm means passport free travel in Europe?

[politicus]

London, if I had a lot of money, otherwise Stockholm because of all the beautiful nature surrounding it.

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

London of course.

4 realz SWEDISH Cheese?

He's not from Sweden, he's from Scania.

HE.LL YEAH!




Anyway, to clarify, I already live in the greatest city in Sweden, so if I were to move it certainly wouldn't be to the backside of the country, but to some new exciting place like London.

[Frodo]

Definitely London -if I could afford it.  Stockholm would be nice as a vacation stop (especially during the winter), with some really good skiing resorts nearby.

Huh? Going to Stockholm for skiing makes no sense. The closest halfway decent resort is still like 6 hours away. The time to be in Stockholm is the Summer!

Ah, so you come from families of conquered Danes.

How from Scania's perspective is Stockholm the "backside of the country"? Again, I don't know Stockholm, but my assumption is it's the NYC of Sweden culturally, artistically, business-wise, etc.

By American standards, no place in a European country is "far" from any other place within that same country (with the exceptions of Russia and Norway, Sweden, and Finland).

Well lets assume Stockholm is the NYC of Sweden. That would make me a guy from the rural Texas of Sweden currently living in the Austin of Sweden. There right there should explain it all.

In particularly I would like to highlight York (!!!!) which is indeed a very nice place but is literally at the other end of the country.

Ukraine, France and Spain are bigger than Sweden, Norway, Finland. Germany is roughly the same size as Finland.

[DemPGH]

Some of you guys are funny.

I've driven from Pittsburgh to Miami twice and Pittsburgh to South Dakota (Rapid City and Bad Lands) and down to Arizona once back in 2009.

London to York? Nah, too far [sarcasm].

True, those countries are larger in area. But my post was about driving (or taking public transportation) from one part of a country to another, and it would surely take longer to travel from one extreme of Norway to the other than it would to do the same in France, Spain, or Germany.

Although even under this criteria, I was wrong to leave out Ukraine. My mistake.

[Vosem]

Stockholm seems like it would be nicer, but unfortunately I don't speak Swedish and do speak English. So London on balance

Do you need a passport to travel to London?

There are border controls as they're not Schengen, but it needn't be a passport.

Well ideally it would be Oslo, but that option wasn't presented here.  And compared with the British isles, only Scandinavia has the mountains and snowpack that would remind me of the Cascades.
