Also my recommendation, especially for the language ease. If you speak English to at least a "working professional" level, it's very easy to live and work in the big cities. At least in Copenhagen, the tech-sector work culture is very English-centric, and most official things can be done bilingually (civil servants all speak English, most forms and websites are translated, etc.). Of course there is nothing wrong with learning more languages, but it can be a big issue to attempt to get work and residence in a language you don't really speak well. For example I would personally not try to get a job in Italy unless I first learned good Italian, while I think an Italian who speaks English would find Denmark fairly easy, without needing to learn Danish up front (I know this in part because I have several Italian colleagues).
- scrollaway 12y agoI actually live in Stockholm right now and I like it a lot, but I'm not sure I'll stay here. Can you tell me more about your experience in Copenhagen?
- _delirium 12y agoI like it, but really depends on what you're looking for. It is not a Big City in the sense that London, Paris, NYC, etc. are big cities. But it is a very nice, compact, medium-sized city. Small enough that you can easily bike everywhere, but large enough to have lots of cultural events, academic talks [1], places to go out, etc. I also like having a well-connected airport so nearby (15 minute metro ride from the city center). It has a fairly large international population as well. But I don't know Stockholm at all, so it's hard to compare. Alcohol is definitely cheaper and less regulated compared to Sweden!
