Housing
Type of housing: I lived with some relatives of mine
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It's really difficult to find an appartment/room if you are not swedish or if you don't know anyone there. But one year there you get to know people.

Personal comments
Some discoclubs in the Capital; some pubs and cafè, like "Cafè Opera" in the centre, ect..You don't miss the Museums, like National Museum, Moderna Museet, Vasa Museum, National Antiquities Museum, Globe Arena for concerts and music. You don't miss also some famous Music events, especially rock, hard-rock and metal concerts and meeting, ect..
