I have a friend who lives in Malmö, which is a city that seems to get "bad press" in terms of migrants etc. I have spent a fair amount of time there and a lot of time talking to my friend about it, and honestly it does seem basically idyllic.
We went round to the area of the city that's supposedly a no go area/dodgy etc and it was nicer than the moderately dodgy bits of the UK town I live in.
The public transport is amazing - you can lend your tickets to others, they do a special discounted ticket for the summer holidays to allow you to travel round your region. The trains are designed to line up with the buses and there are buses out to the national parks so you can go for walks easily.
When we went and visited the national parks, there was spring water that was marked up as being fit for human consumption and it was the nicest water I have ever tasted. They had set up an area where you could camp, free of charge, and when trees came down in the forests they were transported to that area with some municipal axes left so you could use them to make fires to have a barbecue. There was a composting toilet and an old fashioned water pump for water.
The food seems broadly similar to UK prices for eating out, alcohol is more expensive. Editing to add: oh yes, an annoying thing is that you can't buy wine or any alcohol over like 3.5% ABV in the supermarket, only special government stores that have limited opening hours.
My friend's work gives her a contribution each month towards sports clubs she wants to be a member of, because it's been determined that your workplaces should be facilitating you being active.
The apartment building she lives in has nicely kept communal gardens. The washing machines are also communal, which I was initially a bit horrified by, but you book the room and then because they're massive industrial ones they seem to work really quickly. They then have drying rooms with fans, as well as tumble dryers and also this concept of a drying cabinet, which is like an industrially sized airer in a box where warm air is pumped in and a dehumidifier runs. So you can use it for delicate stuff that isn't suitable for tumble drying. And your whole massive load of washing can be done and dusted and dried in an hour or so. I was remarkably impressed.
There seemed to be a lot on in terms of free stuff happening in the town/city, but where they had done some studies and concluded that the events improved the local economy by substantially more than the cost of the events.
In addition to all the public transport, there is a city wise cycle hire scheme that's something ridiculous like £30 a year for infinite use. Oh and on public transport, if you have a season ticket but aren't using it at that moment you can lend it to someone else by sending a link to their phone - totally legitimately.
Add on top of that the amazing sea front and sea front saunas and I can say it's somewhere I would be delighted to live. And if Brexit hadn't happened I probably would have moved there by now. But I would need to work in Copenhagen really, and it's very difficult to live and work in two different countries post Brexit, unfortunately.
Editing again: oh and as an immigrant my friend is eligible for (and has been taking) regular group Swedish lessons to get her up to fluency.
