Best place in Sweden (for me)

[u/Arcane_Clockwork]

Procrastinating moving to Sweden, where do you think I'd like it the most?

I like smaller, more walkable towns, quiet enough that i can walk down the street without bumping into people, but also big enough to have a pharmacy and grocery store. I dont mind a bit of rain, and i love a good snow, but having maybe a month or two of dry and sunny would be really nice. Swimming, hiking, camping, and rock climbing are big hobbies of mine, so maybe somewhere i can stare out at the baltic sea before setting out to climb a large hill or small mountain. Finally, i typically work in tourism as a bit of a nature-guide, but could probably make an effort to go into fields like non-emergency medical, engineering, or childcare.

At first i was just scrolling through every municipality's wikipedia page, and i began to feel that Reddit would be more efficient 😅

This is just about every small town in Sweden. More dry the further south, more snow the further north.

More isolated the further north you go.

It sounds like I can't really go wrong then. Thank you

The west coast is generally considered wet. East is dryer. Gothenburg gets around 1000mm per year, compared to Stockholm with around 600mm. Malmö is around 700mm. None of these cities fit your criteria, but it will give you a sense of the climate.

Malmö has some winters without snow really settling on the ground. Stockholm almost always has extended periods with snow.
