downtown, Steve's coffee, Nationarnahaus or plata (especially on thursdays). Sweden is a beautiful country, so everything has to be seen especially the polar cercle in winter. It's also good idea to go to Copenhagen.

Final comments

If you have time buy an "interail pass". It's a train ticket with which you can use as much as you want the train. There is plenty of things to visit. For those who wanna work, Hergar'n (campus) and Nationarnahaus employ many students. It's not really well payed, but still.

Sweden is an amazing country. Everyone speaks english, that's why it's hard to learn the local language. Event the children and the old people speak english. No need to speak the local language to live other there.
