As a Swedish local I can confirm, I always hang out in souvernir shops, go to church and go for a date with my jar of kimchee.

A tip is to NEVER go to places like Pressbyrån to buy snacks. They charge WAY more than normal grocery stores like ICA, Willys and Coop.

youtube gets how much I love non swedish people make content about sweden

This was the first time ever I saw a visitor to Sweden visit a church.

I had no idea I needed this; a Korean-style vlog of Sweden by an American LOL

There are two things i think foreigners often miss out on when visiting Stockholm. One of them is Gamla Stan” or “Old town”. Its the center on which modern Stockholm branches out from with most buildings coming from the years 1600 to 1700. Very beautiful architecture! Another thing is the royal palace. Parts of the palace is open for the public along with guided tours with things like the royale treasuries and seeing the royale guard march. Unfortunatly, due to my young age at the time, I can’t really remember most of it. Overall, great video! Loved to see a non European view on my country! Keep it up! 🇸🇪 💙💛

I'm late here but thank you for this video. As a swede I have been getting very caught up in the worse things with my country, and this helped me think about how many beautiful things there actually are. I love it here because of the nature mixed with city, the quiet people, and basically yeah it's great. Amazing video, glad you enjoyed visiting!

You're welcome back anytime. Also lots to do and see outside of Stockholm.

You should have visited the fortress in Vaxholm it has a nice museum and is very cosy for a fort. You can just see it sticking up but the inside of the walls of the fort are buildings so when you get inside it looks like a town square.

"Swedish fish" are from USA but I do believe they were started by Swedes and are supposedly similar to some Swedish candy (I haven't tried them). Swedes love cheese. Traditionally it's stored hard cheeses for the breakfast sandwich.

You're so brave to buy salty licorice. Im so curious if you ended up liking it. Miss Sweden so im watching your vlog. I subscribed!🌸 //Maria

This was a calming and a overall good quality video. I love how curious you are and how much respect and appreciation you show for everything around you on your vissit (which I, as swede, take for granted). Once again; good video! I wish you a good day and that you do well here on KZfaq :)

It is very refreshing to watch a vlog and see places which are part of the mondane and everyday for me be viewed with new and curious eyes. It makes me feel grateful to live here and have experienced it, since it can be so exciting. And to recognise places I have stood at, about which I can say "I have been there!" ...is just so fun. Great video, great vlog, great job :)

It is funny that I recognized the cemetary without ever being there, thus recognizing the old church, and the older ruins, and the bustop...and sure it was Sigtuna where you held up...and I figured no wonder, as it is situated pretty close to Arlanda Airport. And if I may say so, it is a good choice to stay there if you want to learn about Sweden, as it is one of the oldest towns there is in Sweden.

regarding the spicy thing, i feel like people either (~70%) don't really LIKE LIKE spicy food, but they can tolerate it. others (~20%) absolutely love it, i am one of those people. might be because i'm dating a thai girl so we eat a lot of chili. the rest of the people (10%) hate it and won't eat if it's the least spicy.

The church segment was AWESOME. Sooo many beautiful churches in Sweden. Greetings from a Christian Swede!

My best tip for a summer visit, is to go out to Waxholm (which you did) and then take a boat (preferably a old steam ship) out to Finnhamn or Möja. For vegan food and a view, try Hälsans hus, good food and best view of Old Town. For a food experience (non-vegan), try Punk Royale. And go swim at Långholmen, swimming and looking at the city is nice. Avoid 7/11, we´ve got loads of nice cafeterias or sweet shops :-) For a bit of Asia in Stockholm, try Arc rooftop restaurant and Yasuragi spa.

This is so cozy! You really managed to show a lot of the quintessential Swedish/Stockholm things in such a natural and cozy way 💛💙

I'm so happy you decided to visit our country! Hope you had a good time, it was funny to see you get excited about trying the different swedish snacks haha. If you come here again you gotta try raggmunk med fläsk och lingon, it's delicious and a true swedish delicacy (it's actually just pancakes with potatoes in them and with a side of pork) And yeah we don't usually like spicy food however those who do, like me, LOVE it. Also you gotta travel more to the countryside, swim in a lake during summer, that's peak Sweden. Thanks for the vlog, it was very entertaining :)

really enjoyed your vlog of Stockholm, if you ever return to Sweden you need to come to Gothenburg. It is the second biggest city in Sweden and one of the only citys in the world that is not a capital that has a English translation

Living in Stockholm (Bromma), this video made me appreciate Stockholm even more! I thank you very much!

Going to supermarkets is the best way to look at a country's culture. You'll get a genuine feel for it there for sure!

As a Swede, I take alot of this stuff for granted. Remember that you are welcome back anytime! :)

SWEDEN IS MODERN, CHIC, CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL

These travel vlogs are very soothing to watch :) keep up the good content!

As a swede that lives outside of the city, there are none pressbyrån here. We do have a lot of coops tho like you mentioned there were in Switzerland lil

This Vlog, as with all your videos, was fantastic. So we'll put together 👍 Brings back alot of fond memories for me, I visited Stockholm in 2007 and arrived by Arlanda Airport then and my first though was how quiet it was. The local food was great and I remember discovering something called Fil, like yoghurt mixed with milk. Super tasty and worked wonders on all the yummy cereals! I went in November though so it was a tad cold! Keep up the good work, you are fantastic 😀👍

Such as a beautiful vlog. Thank you very much for showing us the beauties of the Sweden 🇸🇪. From channel Jason JS

Wow really nice place and very beautiful church super duper video thanks for sharing👍👍 so sweet you are a very very beautiful

As a Swede 🇸🇪 I can confirm you picked the right stuff to eat ❤

No one geting amazed about that there was 5 for 20kr on the donuts?! that is crazy

4:37 saying comparing pressbyrån to coop is so far off, pressbyrån is like 7/11 (WE HAVE BOTH) plus coop is everywhere in sweden too (coop and ica)

Pressbyrån is actually more like a Swedish 7/11 even though 7/11 has become relatively big in Sweden during the last 10-15 years. Though Pressbyrån did really start as a newspaper (and other printed things) stand. Also, Daim isn't a company name, it's that type of candy (hard "toffee" covered in milk chocolate). The company that owns the Daim recipie is Marabou, one of if not THE most popular chocolatiers in Sweden.

What a lovely showcase of my hometown ☺ Hope you had a good time and welcome back wheneeeeeeever 🥰

the long hotdogs are danish, not swedish. But many of us prefer them. Pressbyrån is a "convenience store" by trainstations or larger busstations. While we do have Coop too, the swedish Coop is ICA. We have the superior Hot cheetos, They are called Flaming hot cheese crunchers

It is a weird feeling getting recommended a random youtube video on Sweden and seeing your hometown , including the family gravestone ^^ Hope you enjoyed Sigtuna.

Appreciate you visiting Shelley

Daim is a type of candy made by Marabou(Swedish company started by a Norwegian). Crunchy almond caramel covered by milk chocolate. Original is a chocolate bar form. But you can get it in several shapes and sizes. Like in pellet form. They put Daim in ice cream, baked goods etc. So if you see a Daim cake it means the cake has Daim in it. Canada(?) made candy based on Daim called Skor bar.

It was really lovely to see you explore my home town like this. You deserve more subscribers as well, you're really sweet and respectful.

Thank you. A very beautiful portrayal of Sweden.

Pressbyrån is the same as 7eleven, we also have Coop. :) Buying snacks etc in pressbyrån/7eleven is like paying double the price, better that you go to grocery stores! Also "Swedish fish" - I do believe a Swedish company is behind it but it is made for the American market afaik.

Beautiful place and thank you for your vlog

Welcome back to Sweden 🇸🇪

We have Asian markets for some reason and Sello is a big place where is a lot of shops. We also made a candy named laku. You can call it laku or lakritsi.

1:58 everybody gangsta till the LEMONY PIMPED SHRIMPS roll up 😂

for anyone wondering, 1 week of this stuff shes doing in Stockholm, is like $1000-1500 at least -foods 2-3x a day $15-30+ each -snacks shes buying a few of here and there are $2-5 each -hotel is probably $100-150+ a night -travel is like $20-40 each ride -clothes are $20-80 each, depending alot more stuff that ive probably forgot

Loved this vlog! Great editing and you seem like a really down to earth, chill and fun to be around person! Also, always great to watch non-swedes try our salty candy! If you ever return, try Djungelvrål, it's even saltier! Subbed :)

Wow, ur so beautiful. Interesting perspective too.

Wondering if I should write anything negative, but I am happy to see that you were extremely lucky finding all the nicer places. I have lived in Sweden for nearly 50 years, so am more Swedish than English now. I had many wow experiences on arriving here as someone´s boyfriend, yet that soon wore off. It was so much cleaner than the UK, yet now I used to it and expect a better standard. The UK was terrible with rubbish blown into channels, railways etc, not nice to see. I also thought that Sweden had very little food culture of it´s own. Yet baked bread and confectionary looks much healthier. Yet the UK has no food culture either, they borrow from all the other countries. A roasted duck is about as good as it gets, yet not too healthy. You only got to see very nice places, so you were lucky this time. The architecture is only practical or functional at best here, as they let the mediums steer up most of the time. Very simple, clean and yet hard without feeling. No they do not have Castles here, they call a large Manor or Estate property a castle! Quite funny. Finally their love for shrimp if found everywhere and that Meatball dish with Lingon berries, was their national meal! Would have been nice to hear more from you regarding the Sauna and if it was ok? Pretty cold I expect, yet not everyone can afford one at home. Like your country, people are very materialistic which is a shame, two cars outside and gadgets for everything, yet time will make them better I guess

Poor girl, hope she didn't die from the salty liquorice candy 😟

I would recommend to go to Hemköp, Willys, LIDL, ICA or Coop to buy some candy, it's so much more expensive at Pressbyrån. Happy that you liked Sweden! There is some golden places to go to. Slussen have some vegetarian places, so do Medborgarplatsen. And you can take buses/trains to beaches not too far away. Gröna Lund is with a tram away from T-Centralen and also Skansen where you can meet all types of different animals. Hötorget have one of the biggest cinema places together with buffet and more just across the street from it. Also; a pretty new thing in Stockholm is also: Mall of Scandinavia, it's supposed to be really big! Hope you enjoy your continue travels and having a really nice time in general!

Regarding candy. Norway has the best chocolate in the Nordics, our chocolate culture is related to the Swizz tradition although we've put our own spin on it. So arguably on par with the great chocolate nations of Switzerland and Belgium, or at least not far behind. (It's a bit of a matter of personal taste/preference) Personally I find the Icelandic regular and Finnish salty licorice the best. Sweden has great gummy candies. 3:19 Honestly the best sausages are probably Danish or German. That said we have some famous places selling them here in Norway too, in Bergen for instance. Also, in Norway we traditionally don't use a bun but instead use a flat bread of sorts made from potato. 4:43 There's a "Å" there, that's a separate letter from "A" with a different sound. Nordic languages have quite a few differences in how the letters sounds compared to English. 10:01 Nordic countries tends towards more herbs and preservatives like salt, smoking etc etc traditionally as far as flavours are concerned. That and just fresh food. That said immigrants have left a huge impact on the food culture in Nordic countries. 13:20 Don't worry so much about it. Granted the Swedes are the most up tight of all the nordics. But even they won't think about a bikini as any different from being fully dressed... Remember that historically our region has been pretty chill with nudity, especially in the Finno-Ugric areas and fown south in Denmark and the areas that's more Frisean. 13:31 Well, bathing in literally ice covered water is normal here... So water that's clear like this is practically warm for us. 13:48 That's one area where the Swedes are definitely ahead of us here in Norway, they got way, way more vegan and vegetarian food. That said we got some good stuff here too, at least in the cities like Oslo, Trondheim etc.

Pressbyrån is like 7/11 and expensive, We have Coop supermarkets aswell and we got some asian supermarkets also where they sell asian products like Korean Buldak ramen or other asian products

Very fun to see what a foreigner thinks of my homeland! Coop is also a thing in Sweden and its quite big, the places you visited probably did not have one.

As a Swede, I loved this so much!! 🌸🫶 Thank you for this lovely vlog :) Also my cousin’s dad is like a co-owner (I think?) of Pontus in the Air, the restaurant you are at in the airport :O (I just thought that was cool 😭) Really enjoyed this video, thanks! :D 💕

Buying the salt liquorice gosh how brave, theres also a lot more to see in Sweden than just stockholm glad I got this video pop up in my recommended was an enjoyable one.

Welcome to Sweden! Even though it's like a year ago..

Regarding the Supermarket, I'd say that is sort of mid-sized. And the selection was pretty typical for an ICA store. We don't tend to have quite as much of a variety of spicy foods, but I think there's one or two different kinds of most of the stuff the average person would need for a "Non-Swedish" cooking recipe, for lack of a better term. There are often smaller immigrant-run stores that sell imported Asian, middle eastern, Indian and similar foodstuffs and spices too though :)

16:45 its a song and the numer att the tio is what song it is in the book

Daim is actually Swedish originally :)

Welcome to Sweden.....🙂🙂🙂👍

Loved this video ❤️

Welcome to my country Sweden!🇸🇪 I hope you enjoy here in Sweden!💜🇸🇪

Great quality video for such a small channel. Well done! Keep up the good work :)

Omg you're gorgeous 😍 Great vlog!

9:50 sweden has tons of spicy food. Also Daim is not a company, it's the name of that of caramel filled chocolate brand.

Omg that’s actually so cool that u visited Sweden that’s were I live!!!❤️

Love it! Nice to see that you're enjoying Sweden! I was a bit surprised though to see that you went from being somewhere in Central Stockholm to standing right in my hometown (Sigtuna). I was like wait I know this Church and this Pressbyån... how did she end up here??... :'D

12:38 I went to this fort for a class trip doing some fun challenges there when I was somewhere early in middleschool. Was pretty fun xd

Swedish fish I have only seen in IKEA. Welcome to Sweden bye the way. Hope you like our country. I thinkk I will follow after I finished the video 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Welcome back to Sweden ! 😊

That intro!

I was just looking for a cozy video about Stockholm, because I want to visit it soon. And I did not expect to see anything about 💙💛 Ukraine here... but it is very nice, thank you for staying in that church and lighting a candle as a sign of support. Your video turned out to be so comfortable and pleasant, you cheered me up, thank you. Also, really like your style and content! (subscribed and liked:)) I wish you all the best 🤍

2:41 the perfect style

Hiii I’m Swedish and did you know that the helmets Vikings wear were not what they did wear when they were alive. The helmets were illustrated on a Viking in an art piece in the 1800s. And since then we pictured that Vikings had helmets.❤

3:51 I literally always eat the tomato and basil one lol! ITS SO GOOD

Very busy ride!!

"Childrens favorit" haha wth? No ' and mixing English and Swedish, I wonder if that's intentional. 4:40 We have Coop, I don't know if Coop is a different thing in Switzerland but Pressbyrån is Swedish 7-Eleven. So an expensive convenience store that isn't open 24/7. Coop is a regular supermarket here. 13:15 o.o' hghn!

3:16 Thanks ;)

Really like the vibe of your video. If you come back to Sweden please try to take some time outside the main capital.

for any foreigners, if you wanna go to sweden, tip, dont go to stockholm, its very expensive and you miss alot of the calm and charming stuff the rest of swedens cities/towns have to offer

Those shrimp sandwiches are so good!

im amazed that you made sweden look aesthetic

Can confirm that riding a bike isn't quite like "riding a bike" after enough time off of one! =)

Pressbyrån is kind of a tourist trap lol. We have a lot of Coop's too. (Pronounced the same way you would say coup) Theres also the southern part of sweden (Namely skåne) which is very different from sweden, come to Lund or Malmö if you want a quieter area but still like the city

"Looks like Pressbyrån is the Swedish version of Switzerland's COOP" Not even close though. Europe is filled to the brim with different COOP's all using the same logo with only slight variations. And they are only tied together by ICA (International Cooperative Association) which doesn't own any of the cooperatives in their respective countries, they only facilitate the baseline structure of each cooperative.

12:55 Probably some of the best Swedish dishes

As a Swedish person like me I love my country and I’m a fan of you I I really wanna meet u❤❤❤🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

" Look like a mess right now " Girl, you are sooo cute! 😍

You should visit Rinkeby. It's really a hidden gem in Sweden, known for it's kind locals!

Great video 👍❤ No, no one at the Hotel will mind if you eat (a lot) from the freebies. Swedes are by nature very hospitable (and hungry 😂) We wish we could have more of your Asian genes, you have the perfect body no matter how much you eat. That is not fair 😢 Thank you for sharing, welcome back. ❤

While Marabou might seem swedish, and the average swede probably thinks it is swedish, it is actually norwegian. It's called Freia in Norway.

The yellow candy from the beginning, called "Krówka" is actually Polish :D nice to see they like it.

Yes we swedes love gravy! It is almost holy to us.

I love your videos and im from sweden and it's a lovely land🎉❤😊

Super video!! You should visit Warsawa or Krakow in Poland. Absolute bangers.

hi first tme seeing your channel. i think it funny and little strange to visit the semeterry like first XD. Glad to see u enjoy ma contry and the culture.

If you want to see more about the Nordic religion before Christianity, is there any suggestions? You know, Thor, oden, freja and the other Viking gods.

Welcome to Gothenburg the next time❤️
