Well I don't like the way Sweden is handling its muslim invasion. When a country stands by twiddling their thumbs doing nothing as their capitol city burns for a week, they got some serious problems on how to handle things. And I think its only going to get worse for Sweden. So its Denmark or Norway. Denmark has better weather is on mainland Europe. But Norway is more beautiful and I can see killer whales there. Its a tie.

LOL at everything. Especially the so called 'better weather'. Want the worst summer and winter weather? - Go to Denmark.


BTW, the 100 most common surnames in Sweden consists only of Swedish names. Not even Virtanen amongst them.

WOW! My experience has been the exact opposite of this! I speak Norwegian in Sweden, and people are thrilled! Half the people think I'm speaking some northern Swedish dialect, and the rest are impressed I can speak any Scandinavian at all! I do "appear to be from Russia", but since I speak a language they can relate to, nobody cares. I haven't met any depressed Swedes. I can't say the same about Norwegians, though. Oh well. Maybe Norwegians have gotten more cheerful since all that oil money fell on them. It's been quite a while since I was there...

The weather on the coast of Sweden is milder than in many parts of the US, even up north. Summers are fabulous, late winter and early spring hover around freezing, give or take. It sure beats 50 below in Siberia, that's for sure! You should try it before you decide you "couldn't live there". You may be pleasantly surprised.

This is SO OBJECTIVE....but I'm game nonetheless:


Languages: Don't know.
Friendliness: All.
Location: Denmark.
Lifestyle: Denmark and Sweden. I feel like Norway might be going downhill.
Climate diversity:Sweden, being it's the longest going from north to south.
Nightlife: Denmark.
Tourist attractions: All.
Economic diversity: Not sure.
Cultural contribution: Sweden or Denmark. Norway is more of 'get outdoors' kind of place.
Urban living: Stockholm or Copenhagen.
History: Denmark or Sweden.
Architecture: Sweden or Denmark.
Transportation: All.
Education: All.
Natural scenery: Norway, but all are good.

Which country is better to visit? Denmark.

Which country would you choose to live in & why? Denmark. I just like it more, after having visited all three.

I wanted to note that Oslo is more of a younger city, with a lot more newer buildings and developments. It also has a much smaller population than either Copenhagen or Stockholm. So, that's why I found myself mostly selecting either Denmark or Sweden throughout this poll, until the nature question came up, and that would be the #1 attraction for most people to Norway. That's not to say the other two don't have nature either, but the other two have plenty of urban attractions that draw people way more than Oslo would.

Having just been to Oslo, I think it's going to be even worse for Norway in regards to integrating their Muslim minorities.

Oslo just seemed to be an open door of 'send us your most different culturally', and we'll allow or setup Muslim schools for them, so they can be sure to maintain themselves as culturally different.

I was just noticed so many entire neighborhoods of all muslim groups in Oslo, as if white flight was quickly occurring. The Norwegian killer a few year back, who killed all those kids on an island, in reaction to the Norwegian gov'ts acceptance/encouragement of this, also seemed to imply a big disconnect between the Norwegian gov't and it's people.

I also talked to some other Europeans about Norway. It seemed the general concensus was that Norway was conducting a massive social experiment in this regard, and many were not so sure how this would turn out. In short, you have a TON of very poor, very NOT well-off immigrant groups absolutely everywhere in Oslo, but Norway has a strict policy of 'Norway's Social Care is for the Norwegians only'. So, it was visibly very clear this massive economic disparity between whites in Norway, and everyone else who still seemed just a slight step up from living a continued third world lifestyle.

I think Denmark, having the Mohammed cartoonist a few years back, has gone a few more steps into nipping the future 'problems/issues' these Scandinavian social experiments might have as blowback later on.

I'm a huge fan of Copenhagen architecture as well. I also quite liked Stockholm's architecture. But, outside of the Gamla Stan, the Stockholm architecture changes a bit into something not as awesomely beautiful as in the Gamla Stan. Other cities in Sweden seemed to have a bit less in the interesting architecture department.

Copenhagen is not only quite pretty in my opinion, with a ton of character, I also noticed that even a few non-tourist destiation cities like Aarhus has quite interesting architecture.

Scandinavia is a good place to live if you don't like to work what many people say
Sounds like a much warmer June than the one I experienced this summer in 2014. We only had a high of about 13 or 14, throughout the few days I was in Stockholm.

I was told this was quite unusual though, but still.

Well, every summer gets its share of warm and cool days, you notice that already looking at the averages. And considering that Stockholm lies somewhere between Juneau and Anchorage, Alaska in terms of latitude, I wouldn't be surprised.

But it's 28C now in Stockholm and 30C here on the east side of the Baltic.
