The missing piece to these overseas hood walks is not being able to connect with a trustworthy local that can share stories of the area. Once you have that sussed I think it'll blow up internationally

Sometimes watching Spanios catching public transport in foreign countries is more entertaining than the actual hood walk

Whats crazy is that those apartment buildings still looks insanely better than most in eastern europe.

As a Romanian i must say that these flats are in a very good condition! In Romania in bigger cities there are flats full of mold, on some parts piece of the flat are falling of,inside the flat is full of rubbish,elevators not working all the time etc!

As a Norwegian who's moved to Australia, the sun going down really early in winter is awfully depressing, but then you have the sun up until like 1-2am in summer, which is absolutely euphoric, especially when you're young.

Am i the only one who thinks those housing blocks werent even that bad?

I mean , its by no means beautiful houses when you get off the train, but "in that bad condition"? Perfectly working houses, intact, with all the amenetis.

There's nothing wrong with these blocks, they're looking better than most other afordable housing blocks anywhere else.

Maybe I’m the only one, but these videos Spanion puts out feel like mini documentaries/comedy specials. I hope he never stops

Born and raised in Finland. Man we never get used to the loss of daylight, everyone suffers differently but everyone deals with it.

Props for not speaking to locals and only speculating about the place🔥🔥

The only thing this video established was that the guy walking around found the quality of the buildings to be subpar. We learned absolutely nothing about the "ghetto" and "gun capital of Europe"

The place looks a lot nicer than any of the other hoods you've been to honestly, there's no garbage, things are taken care of, people are out with their kids and stuff, no people being weirdos, no random moto rats.

I started facepalming as soon as he entered that neighbourhood especially when he said something about the quality of those houses and that they are definitely 110% social houses. Makes me feel like he hasn’t seen too much in this world or was living in Nárnia.

I lived in Kroksbäck part of Malmö back in 2017. Never had any problems with Swedes or immigrants. My building was one of the concrete Soviet style, but it was nice, warm, quiet and clean. We even had wild rabbits coming into our building garden area and you could walk pas them and not scare them away. I loved all town and all of it, but my favorite place to go and chill was Limhamns beach area.

Man I found you from a TV interview in Greece and now I am obsessed with you channel, amazing content !

I actually live in Malmö and to give you a background about these houses, they were mostly built in the 1960s due to socialism taking over and the lack of housing during that century. They were actually considered nice areas to live in at first. Then after the economy got better people could move to better places and they got “replaced” by immigrants mostly from places like Balkan and Chile. So these areas slowly started to become poorer and poorer. Now especially after 2014, thousands and thousands of immigrants from the Middle East came here with no plan, education and lack of government policies. These areas all around Sweden are quite dangerous due to drug trafficking and gang wars. They very rarely target ethnic swedes. Malmö is still a top city to live in and the suburbs of Stockholm is now far worse…

Honestly what is wrong with the appartements? Why are locked doors like 'prisons'?

I'm Swedish, And Rosengård was built in the 60s, Built above all for Swedes who wanted to get closer to bigger cities to work, including people from our neighboring countries. Rosengård, Rinkeby and similar areas were once fine and well-functioning areas, without crime and violence. The areas became dysfunctional at the rate of the large immigration from the Middle East and Africa. Sad but true.

If this is ''the hood'' in Sweden, I can see why Sweden is so happy, like this is just a typical housing estate? It actually looks quite well kept and clean. It looks like Disneyland compared to the European hoods of France, Germany, UK, Italy, etc .😂

Great to see you do this video. My wife is native from Malmo and we go back every year to see her parents and our friends back there. I’ve been going there since 2007 and it’s been increasing worse. However. The police have put a lot of resources into Malmo of late. Probably helps that you look like a local in rosengard. good work mate

Damn! Twenty kicks! Well you got my sub. Nicely done. 👍

what i will say is the public housing i experienced in sweden was VERY very nice inside compared to the kind of stuff we get here in the uk, well thought out, felt nice and space efficient, well built. heating included with rent.

It definitely isn't the nicest area in town, but it does look far less depressing in the summer. The first time I was there I was quite surprised that it looked much nicer than I thought it would. A bit of green can do a lot. A lot of the apartments aren't that bad on the inside either, but the commie block architecture isn't much to look at inside or out. Also kinda funny that you managed to pinpoint the worst part of the area just by looking at it :D

Legend mate 💯

The music in these vlogs is absolutely fucking banging. I love it all. Well done dude, you're a legend.

You should go to Marseille in france, I’m from the US and ive been to a lot of places in Europe and Marseille was the one place I genuinely felt unsafe, especially les quartiers nord

Swede here. Rosengård back in the 90's and the begining of the 2000's was pretty bad nowadays it aint that bad tbh. Love that you came to sweden awesome content keep it up bro💪🇸🇪🤝🇦🇺

You are really grasping at straws with this one. Just walking around and pointing at buildings and saying how they aren't in great conditions. Like yeah they are 50 year old commie buildings, of course they won't be stellar quality. But everything considered these are in pretty good condition. The area is clean and quiet. You keep saying that you feel unsafe and getting bad vibes but you have no reasoning behind it other than your feelings. I get that you want to get views for your channel and you probably wanted something to happen as an example of how terrible Sweden is, but a normal day is incredibly boring in Sweden, even in these poor neighborhoods.

Props for doing this one, theres like 20 similar neighborhoods in Malmö at the minimum aswell..

I recently worked as a security guard in Malmö and was stationed at Rosengård and their shopping mall. Crime occured on a daily basis with so much rasism against the Swedes. I'm not saying everyone there is bad, far from it. I've had several nice connections as well but it's overbearingly bad there due to the separate culture and lack of adapting to our country. And funny enough. At the apartment you pointed at when arriving to the block a man lives there who assulted his wife last summer when I was patrolling there. Heard them screaming. He had several diagnosis and should have been locked away. Really sad. In the 70's my dad used to live there and there where almost only Italians in his experience. It actually gives me ptsd just to see that shitty area.

I would love to see you have a conversation with a local about the living conditions bro, be so interesting to know some of the local history from the locals, cheers mate stay safe

you got a new subscriber love the content bro

I had a feeling you were going to swing by Rosengård! Sadly I did not stumble upon you... I have been living here in Rosengård for whole my life which is comming up on 25 years now, really happy to see someone documenting my neighbourhood. At 24:53 when you had your ghetto senses tingeling I can assure you that those senses are 100% correct. That area is divided into different subgroups with specfic names. In example, the area where you stood at 24:53 is called the "zigenar gården" which in other words translates to the gypsy neighboorhood, as you mightve guessed the vast majority there are gypsies. Each block has its own name based on the ethnic majorty of the block and that area has always been regarded as the worst place in Rosengård. At 19:50 when you cross the bridge you clearly see the difference in how the neighbourhoods look. One side is more dark dull and while the other is more bright and vibrant. This really does translate into how safe the two areas are. Its as if the bridge is a representation of the divided safety of the area. The area with buildings with more bright color is regarded as the "safe" part of Rosengård. Its the place you would rather live in. As to your question regarding private housing, there are some in Rosengård but you headed away from the area. You were ca 3 minutes away from it when you were playing fotball! It very interesting to see an outside perspective of your own neighbourhood. For me things are normal and are changing for the better ofc, but then watching it from another persons perspective things really do seem depressing. Thank you for the documentary!

im swedish and this is all because of immigration

My friend who passed away lived in the Stockholm hood and I remember walking about just thinking it was dead quiet and not threatening but then you’d read about grenade attacks a few streets from his flat

20 years ago Sweden was a great example and really safe. We have allways had working imigrants from the balkans due to all the shiping yards during 1960s-90s. The million programme suburbs was mainly built to house the working imigrants that came. But then came the Kosovo/Serbia war refugees then the refugees from various Arab conflicts/wars. Now they run the place. Some of the places the ambulance and fire rescue need police escort to get in. But all the blame is on the politicians. I dont think Sweden will be go back to being what it used to be in my lifetime.

Good content Spanian . I bet you will have 1 million subs in 6 months

Rosengård is my neighborhood, so it's very weird to have it talked about in this way. My experience with Rosengård and eastern Malmö as a whole has been safe, I can trust people and talk to strangers, never been in trouble. I'm friendly with immigrants who don't even speak swedish, and they're friendly right back. I think if you show fear and aversion towards a person, you will get the worst from them in return.

It's just normal apartment buildings like in any swedish suburb! It's not "prison" or "ghetto", it's what the architecture was like everywhere here at the time. Also, renting is kinda the norm and you're not deprived if you don't own your home here. It's not like in the UK or US where renting is seen as the last straw. You're just walking around being judgemental from what media wants you to believe, or making things up. The reason you see the public housing going on and on, is that it's just normal architecture and how regular people live.

I am an Aussie who lived in Sweden from 1996 to 2000 and this was the suburb where I had to go to learn Swedish (Swedish for Immigrants), a full time 12 month + course run by the Swedish Govt. Just seeing those buildings again gives me mild PTSD. LOL

I dont live in rosengård, but i work in rosengård almost every day. Yes the buildings is shitty. Buy the ppl are super friendly. Always removes bikes from the streets when im driving there, and they give me tea and cookies when im done with my job. One of my favorite places to work in. Imma plumber.

Did not expect to see Spanian in my home city of Copenhagen👌 Even went to Nørrebro.

Liked and subscribed, not only because u joggled the ball 20 times but because i really like your content! Nice episode! Btw i live in Sweden but further north from Malmö xD

Love how when you came to "herrgården", the 'worst' area in Rosengård, you felt the tenseness in the atmosphere. You were right, it is the worst. I felt it a lot growing up in Malmö when I came to Herrgården. It was such a tense area.

I lived in sweden for 3 years .. there are many public housing areas in sweden .. stockholm has many as well .. on the outside they look really depressing but l have been in many blocks and inside in the apartments they are actually really well decked out and homely .. most were built in the 70s .. its really not that bad .. and in sweden even though its exoensive .. you get the best medical and education UNI included which means no student debts .. it was a great country to live in

Dude thinks he's going to get pressed, when he literally looks like he lives there hahahaha

Scanning the ticket when getting out of the train, that was the funniest thing ive seen on the internet evaaaa…. 😂😂😂😂. Keep up the good vibe bro 👍🏼

Living the dream brother! it's amazing how someone who has really come from hard times to traveling the world keep it up!

As a swede who visited Rosengård before i know how sketchy it is, But to me it does not look that bad visually? These kind of suburbs called "million programme" are all over the country, always lots of foreigners. we have a big problem regarding integration. Usually the victims of shootings are other gang and gangmembers, as a "civillian" i don´t really feel scared entering these kind of areas.

Liked and subscribed only because of that absolute baller moment at the end :D

I actually currently live in Rosengård, close to the shopping centre but on the other side then where you walked. I’m a student originally from Germany and one of the biggest buildings in the area (I’d say) is student housing. It’s just this 1970 concrete wall of a building, nine stories high and I don’t know how many units wide. I’m not going to act like it’s a great place to live but it really isn’t as bad as it looks. Many of the places in the vide is where I usually cycle to university or buy my groceries. When I first moved here I was scared to be outside at night, but I’ve cycled home at three AM before and there really wasn’t any reason to worry. There definitely is some theft and drug dealing going on ( my bike got stolen from a locked garage) but in my experience you usually don’t get pulled in to that if you just do your thing. Obviously, I’m probably not as affected because I’m not really a local and the fact that I’m white could also play a role here. I just think that a lot of people from Sweden and Malmö who have never lived here see the ugly buildings and the large immigrant population and assume that it’s only gangs drugs and misery out here. It can be really nice though, for example summer is way livelier than winter. I do think that people with migrant backgrounds or more generally people with less income are pushed out into these areas and ghettoised.

Amazing how Span fits in to all hoods around the world

Nothing better than watching these into the hoods after a long Monday working day

So cool you went past Forum. That building at 1:43, went to Comic Con 2018 there, was great fun. Had several laughs about what you experienced in DK, the stairs and the driverless train haha. You also passed Fields at 4:29 which has sad recent history.

Nice video! Love from Denmark 💪

Sweden (along with several other Scandinavian & Northern European countries) is a perfect example of what happens when you not only allow unrestricted immigration from third world countries in North Africa & the Middle East but actually actively encourage it, just like The Greens & Labor's left wingers currently demand that we adopt here in Australia. Thank God we copped onto this here in Australia a while ago and now focus on bringing in almost exclusively educated and skilled migrants who will result in a net gain to our culture & economy; we learnt our lesson the hard way from the formation of impoverished ethnic ghettos in Cabramatta and the South Western Sydney suburbs of Punchbowl, Lakemba, Greenacre etc back in the 70's & '80s, and all the debilitating inter-generational poverty, violence and organised crime that these have spawned over the past 40-odd years.

I walk through Rosengård to and from my white collar job five times a week, and have been doing so for almost 10 years. No one has ever bothered me. That is not to say that there aren't a lot of criminality but it's not dangerous at all to walk through the neighbourhood. At least not during day time.

Hey Spanain! Would appreciate an episode of Budapest´s hood. One of it's most feard street is called "Hös utca" (heroes street). Appreciate your videos!

Came back in the Summer when the whole hood is outside!

I’m from Malmö born and raised and I can definitely tell you I’ve been to worse neighborhoods than rosengård here in Malmö

I grew up in 90s in a commie block in Kyiv, Ukraine, in one of the hoods where people didn't want to stroll. The fact that they don't have metal bars on windows and bicycles are just standing outside means it's really not so bad

Yo bro can you do one in Stockholm theres some really really rough areas out here, your videos is fye gang🔥

Sydney also has driverless metros now. The line from Tallawong to Chatswood is driverless and it's being extended under the CBD to reach Sydenham this year. Next year, it'll take over the line from there to Bankstown.

Should've talked to us locals. Rosengård ain't so bad anymore😂

As a former prisoner in Glasgows Barlinnie (Scotland) I can relate to your motives of just getting out their seeing the world, making the most of your freedom, much love bro, your showing me places and countries I'd never get to see otherwise, peace

I am born and raised in Malmö and have lived in Rosengård a big portion of my life. Media has inaccurately portrayed Rosengård as a dangerous area for many years. Rosengård is the home of many families and children who have nothing to do with crime or a ghetto lifestyle. The amount of criminals is extremely low and is not even noticable today. The buildings are not bad at all with the exception of the last area you showed, which is unfortunately abandoned by Swedish authority. It is a very beautiful place and especially during the summer. I feel safer in Rosengård than any other area in Malmö. I'm not denying the fact that crime historically has been a problem in Rosengård. But it is no longer that big of a problem due to many reasons, such as most of the criminals being murdered, sentenced to jail or having fled abroad. The criminals were also an extreme minority compared to the rest of the population who were and still are sincere and decent citizens and contributors to society like anyone else. Crime in Sweden today is a much bigger problem in Stockholm for example. You should probably do some more research before visiting these areas and interview people who have lived here and understand this society.

Great to see u visiting Sweden. Get up to Sthlm mate.

This guys need a Netflix series

I came across this video by luck.... Wasn't sure what to really expect but an interesting piece of filming and I can honestly say I didn't expect to see this part of Sweden, I'm from the UK and met many Swedish people and seen pictures of their Homes nice big houses clean streets ect. I was raised in the south London council neighbourhood through the late 70s into the mid 90s, mostly gangs and run down building like it had been through wars. Watching this video thinking yeah not a pleasant location but looked much better then what I grew up around! Looks clean, open and at least got parks for kids.

Bruh I feel bad, the worst looking neighborhood in Sweden looks better than the average city in Romania

Bro's been lied to his entire life! xD

Know what I’m waitin for? Spanian’s Indian Adventure. goin thru the slums or just generally exploring the good and bad; the way you express yourself is just so entertaining

if you're still in sweden head to stockholm and walk through fittja or tensta both places are in very rough shape and are both classed as "very vulnerable areas" just like rosengård

I literally just missed ya. I live in Malmö and come from Dallas, Texas and just came back from visiting family stateside. I’ll give you that the buildings are quite ugly. However, it’s nothing as bad as where I come from in Texas. Compared to some hoods in Texas, these parts are paradise. Cool seeing your video and perspective.

Thank you for covering the "Swedish situation"

Doesn't look too bad to me, honestly. I watched the video on the Bijlmer (Amsterdam) yesterday and didn't think that was that bad either. I live in a similar place in the Netherlands and I guess its whatever you're used to, eh? Most of these apartment blocks are more than 50 years old! Built after WW2 when Europe needed a lot of housing very quickly due to the baby boom. I've been to bad neighborhoods in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth, Australia and the biggest difference is just the space people have. Apartments vs freestanding houses with gardens, depending on the area. Sure, the mixture of cultures and backgrounds is different, but like anywhere else, its the "bad" people that make it seem a bad neighborhood. In most cases it comes down to lack of (mental)healthcare and or the access to it, the drug-abuse and culture clashes. Spanian should definitely go back when the people are outside and get some interactions. This isn't all that interesting to me.

If you're stil in Sweden we can maybe manage to give you a guided tour of some hood so you can speak to some locals. And also the last street you walked in this episode is called Rammelsväg in Rosengård, exactly that street is notorious and maybe one of the most dangerous streets in Sweden.

20:17 the murals on some of the buildings are actually painted by a group of artists that travelled through all of sweden and did projects like those in every town. we have two of their projects here in my town as well. but we got a mural of a fox and a rabbit on the side of one of our buildings.

Judging purely by the views this looks very OK. Better than a lot of places in Europe. Not much trash, no graffiti, no suspicious looking people. Looks better than a lot of places I spent time in my youth.

Rosengård has had a bad reputation since the 90's, and it's undeserved AF at this point. People just regurgitate that it's "most dangerous". There are argumentatively worse suburbs in Malmö (none are very bad though), and Stockholm certainly has worse suburbs. I'm a 30 something native white guy who lived in Rosengård for four years close to the second last area you visited (my house was student apartments in way better shape, but neighboring to some really run down buildings), and I rarely had any issues (I think a guy was waiting to rob me once, and that's it). I very often walked around at nighttime. Honestly, the guys that do cause trouble mostly fuck with each other, rob teens, sell drugs, set cars on fire, and The second last part you visited is the famous part because the landlords are assholes so the buildings have been allowed to degrade, and it's been talked a lot about how there's cockroaches (which is rare in Sweden). The "shopping mall" had more traditional shops back in the days but all Swedes moved away and so the shops turned to types that cater to the people who live in Rosengård (no Swedes would go there to shop so there's no point in having typical shops there). If you think that represents shopping malls in Sweden then you are quite mistaken, we have a lot of normal shopping malls (for example, the biggest one in Hyllie in Malmö right where you switched trains). For the buildings - that's just the standard designs of the housing projects in the 70's. All of Sweden look like that to a degree. The entrances are just basic entrances that of course are locked (it's not like there's double doors for security). The buildings look hella depressing though. And the helicopters fly around constantly these days, tracking cars/criminals and, when there's a football game, hooligans.

I think a big reason that places like this exist even in a place like Sweden is to house refugees/immigrants who aren't all able to land jobs that pay enough to live in nicer places, so I suppose it's not really the governments fault that places like this exist in Sweden. You're probably still better off being poor in Sweden than a lot of other places on Earth

Its very important to know that this is a extremly small part of sweden, its a very big country. I live in northern sweden and its realy beutifull, you should come for a ski trip some time 😃. In winter you never see the sun and in the summer the sun is up the entire day. Where you were in this video its very little snow but where i live (in the middle of sweden) its still a meter of snow and its april in a few days, i love the snow extremly much, its extremly fun to ride snowmobiles or go skiing. Great video!

Finnish politicians have been absolutely silent about this "progression" in our neighbor country. Leftists are "refugees welcome" no matter what. It's global in western countries.

this guy would pass out if he saw the state of Eastern Europe

You should visit some hoods in the UK, perhaps in Glasgow or London. That would be crazy.

As a Swede I am both sad and angry how our politicians could let this happen! And they still haven’t fixed it!!!

Used to live where your back is facing when you enter the car park to Rosengård Centrum. It wasn’t until recently that they decided to fence it off due to the amount of “trespassers” that came by and didn’t belong to that neighborhood, causing trouble so certain tenants such as HSB had them raised and added a gate with an intercom. It used to be a really nice neighborhood, and that one is by far one of the better areas to live in today.

Im from sweden and I can tell you that I've been to every country in europe and sweden is still the cleanest country of em all together with norway iceland and Finland. We got LOTS of hoods like rosengard specially in Stockholm and göteborg. They look rough, they can be rough too and depressing, specially the end ststions of the blue line stockholm. But non of em look trashy like the rest of Europe. And that is one thing I like about Scandinavia. Its clean AF. I grew up in what was the worst hood then in crime but it was so clean and organized. Almost all of the apartments in the hoods of sweden has been renovated by the rental companies and if bought then renovated by the private owners. No matter how much garbage people throw on the street, they always come and pick it up. They constantly removes Graffiti and they even repaint the houses sometimes. The crime has gone up but so has organized charities and programs for kids such as sports and places where kids can feel like they belong etc. Some people are fighting so hard in the hoods to give the kids a better future, and if it works or not is not the point, the point is that it shows how well organized the coomunes are insted of just letting the hoods rott like in the gypsy hoods around east europe. But yeah, Culture is strong and no matter how bad crime gets, culture will always be the synesthesia of nature. And its in the hoods where the art culture is the strongest! Stay safe and keep up the good work, its a healthy lifestyle you are living no doubt

Respect to you for visiting so many cities around the globe! You should REALLY go to Stockholm, specially the red & blue line. You have hoods like; Rinkeby • Tensta • Husby • Akalla • Alby • Bredäng • Vårby Gård • Norsborg • Skärholmen Have been LOTS of violence the past 10 years in those areas

As a swede, I’m getting really depressed to see this.. but I don’t blame the landlords, through the years they have spent millions of cash to rebuild those houses or appartments but the people who lives there keeps destroying it.

Can you plz do more interaction with people that live in the areas you visit and get perspectives of the locals etc and from the crimo side and the civilian side be good.. But great vids bro keep up the great wrk👍👍👍👍

Awesome vid mate,keep up the great work🙌🏼💫 Little bit of info,about 88.5% of people who stay in Rosengard are first and second generation immigrants from Syria,Turkey,Somalia and the former Yugoslavia

Where is the gehtto? No graffiti no drunks or Junkies no smashed cars or Windows

i dont know if this is just forced "journalism" or stupidity but the buildings in Rosengard are not that bad. Sure, they arent fantastic and some of them are pretty worn down, but compared to the rest of the affordable housing in the world, even western, they're good. Also Stockholm and surrounding areas are WAY, WAY worse than Malmö in gun crime. Malmö has successfully reduced its gun violence over the recent years and stockholm, well. it's been the opposite there.

Done and done brother. Liked and subscribed.

My dad grew up here in the 70s. He learned Swedish in the courtyards since the language at home was Croatian. Fun fact. My dad grew up in the same block as Zlatan but he lived there before him.

We don't get used to the short days in Scandinavia either, we just call it "winter depression". It's a pretty common thing most people experience it

love how everytime you buy a train ticket you start singing with joy hahhaha

“Just act like a dumb tourist”? That’s exactly what he is. He doesn’t know that everyone in Denmark and Sweden speaks English from school age.
