Most Stockholm residents have small cottages outside of the city, where they spend their weekends and enjoy incredible Scandinavian nature. If you want to move to one of the best European cities regarding the quality of living, you will need to cope with expensive rent, utilities and groceries cost and harsh climate. Other than that Stockholm is an expats’ paradise with many high paid jobs, great connection to all major European and US cities and a very high living standard. That is why we added the Sweden’s capital to our list of the easiest cities in Europe to move to.
