Stockholm For ONLY $87 Per Day | Sweden Budget Travel Guide

[@ClassicGuy1982]

Your thoughts on activities, drinks/eats, locations at where to go and see things around Stockholm are great. Your budget thoughts on the video, were so funny to listen too. Wonderful advise for all of us to listen and watch; when we plan to visit. Thank you for making and posting this video.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

So happy to hear that :D Some of the choices might seem a bit odd, but I went for things that I have a personal preference for!

[@richardcarlson8045]

I was in Stockholm and Gothenburg two weeks ago and found overall prices to be much more reasonable than I was expecting. Stopped on the Barken Viking in Gothenburg which was novel. By comparison I found Helsinki much more expensive for food and drink.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

That's a very good point - there might be more budget-friendly options in Sweden in general compared to both Finland and Norway. Denmark is probably a bit cheaper though, I'd guess.

[@lkrnpk]

Swedish Crown is now quite cheaper than it was also... I remember when 10 SEK was like 1,1 euro, now it is 85 cents. But he said that.

[@donnamortensen959]

As always, a great and informative vlog! Really loved the tips and that Turkish burger looks delicious 😊

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Thank you! :D Haha, it really is great - much more substance than a regular soggy fast food burger :D

[@kenfus2000]

I spend 2 weeks in Stockholm (and a bit around) last august and i LOVED it, on the other hand my banker hated it.... For the shopping part i visited every of the hundred thrift shops in town and Myrorna and red cross are the absolute best to be dressed on a budget ! Thanks for the video

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Happy to hear that you enjoyed it here :D And oooh... That was something I completely forgot about - shopping. I could have added some notes about thrift shops and where you can find cheap things for sale. Thanks for the note about that!

[@crystalcuneo9014]

Thank you for your videos!! I move to Södermalm for work in November. Your videos are great!

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Wow, I bet you're going to love Södermalm! Haha, still hoping that I'll find a cheap apartment there myself one of these days. Thank you so much, and the best of luck in November - winter is coming :D

Hi, 3-S Vagabond. It's been a long time. It's good to see you again. It was a great video as always you made. If people wanted to travel in the city for a while with a few hundred bucks in their pockets, they've learned. You are a true guru of delicious and affordable meals. As a Turkish person, I have never heard of Turkish burgers. But I am glad to see them look very delicious and bargain. I must try. Also, you preferred them over burger franchises. :) At the end of the video, you suddenly find yourself in the nightclub? Oh, I forgot about you were Beer Pharaoh Vagabond. It could be a new skill. After a few shots of 50 SEK beer, you can instantly teleport to nightclubs. A kind of brewmaster skill it must be. :D I missed your videos but I was far away for a while, I'm sorry about that. I had to cool down my own processors(brain cells) during hot summer days. I hope I won't miss your next adventures. Have a great week.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Heeey, so nice to hear from you again :D And I really have no idea why they call it Turkish burgers - I think they just made stuff up that sounds exotic to Swedes :D Haha, that's what happens after a couple of cheap beers after all. I had some footage from a couple of events I'd been to lately, so I thought they fit pretty nicely - that was a geek concert and a Barbie rave. So, no normal nightclubs for this Beer Pharaoh! :D Hope you have a great week, and that you're doing great now that the scorching summer is over!

[@doguskoyuncu5177]

@@ThreeStarVagabond Haha, I am not sure, what kind of crazy stuff you have witnessed in Barbie rave but you will be surprised to see this video.

Nice informative video 🥂

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Thank you :D

[@DikWhite]

Thank you for all these useful tips, I think I'd probably choose the comfort of the hotel in Kista and avoid picking a fight with any of the gang members there. I'd be sure to get myself an SL travel card to thoroughly explore the city.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Good choice! I figured I'd mention a few different options so that people can mix and match :D I'd probably go for Kista as well if I needed a hotel.

Järnpojken Posse represent! Have stayed in the Best Western near Olof Palme's memorial plaque. It's pretty decent but shh don't let everyone know! 😂😂

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Järnpojken rules! :D And well, I actually think that most chain hotels are perfectly fine in Stockholm. Except for Hotel C, a place with no windows right next to the central station. So claustrophobic...

Very pratical and useful. Thanks a lot.

Speaking of no go zones. Do you plan to do a break down of those? Such as why they're called that, which aren't that bad, Mälmo, and advice etc?

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

It's been on my todo list for a while... It's just a sensitive topic, since in some ways there are no REALLY bad places, but things have gone a lot worse lately in Sweden. So I don't want to say things that's outdated in a month... But yeah I'll try to do a video about that!

[@MrJoKeR7854]

@@ThreeStarVagabond that makes sense about the out dating since things change. Both good and bad. Appreciate the answer! I need to go through your videos, but have you done one about the north?

[@pkharper3525]

When I saw visiting Stockholm for 87 dollars a day I thought damn he’s got to be drunk 😂, well you proved me wrong, you just have to know where to go. The good thing is we have friends in Stockholm that we stay with so that will leave me more money for beer Yeah. Thanks for all the great informative videos and stay safe till next time.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Well, it was a bit of work getting the budget that cheap, but I think it actually would be a reasonable trip. Depending on expectations, that is :D It's really good that you can stay with friends - the hotel cost is what really tends to raise the budget of any trip. One hotel night is like 25 beers of the cheap Gränges, so I think there's plenty of beer money left in that case. Cheers and have a great one you too!

I enjoyed my stay on the boat. Breakfast on the boat in the morning with a full cup of coffee is a bit fun :) I almost walked everything, which is great to get to know the surroundings of Norrmalm or Södermalm. Question: Where did I miss the runes? (Street name?) I need some day to get to Stockholm again to see the rest and maybe to catch a fish or two...

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Happy to hear that! :D The runestone is in the corner between Prästgatan and Kåkbrinken. I think there's always plenty left to see in a city, after a first visit :)

[@ChristopherGronlund]

I love all these tips. I know it's fun to splurge on things, but when we travel, I'm not even sure if we qualify as Two Star Vagabonds. Even when traveling for work, I've been known to find a food co-op and eat on the cheap, even thought he company was paying. In a way, though...it's not even so much about being frugal, but when going to a grocery store/food market salad bar or picking up other things, you tend to bump into people who are more likely to tell you neat places to go than you might find in more upscale places.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

That's the social way of being a cheap traveler! Personally, I often do similar things but that's because I want to curl up in my room and not meet any more people. When I was in Copenhagen I saw that they had two pizza slices for 50 kr at 7-Eleven, so that was my dinner one evening. "Screw the world - I'm staying at my hotel room now" :D

[@ChristopherGronlund]

@@ThreeStarVagabond Cynthia and I once went to Austin, Texas for a handful of days to meet up with her sister and brother in law. While going out to restaurants we'd normally skip, the night we didn't all hang out -- and I grabbed dinner at a cheap food truck and brought it back to the hotel room -- was a very nice evening. Even with all the couch surfing I did when I was younger, now: when I visit friends, I always want a hotel room to have that bit of peace alone each evening.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

@@ChristopherGronlund I get what you mean about both the food truck and having a hotel room. I don't demand much in terms of quality, but a private room and an ensuite bathroom is what I aim for ^_^

Really enjoy these Sunday vids, part of my weekly routine now! 😂 I was in Stockholm/Uppsala in August and fell in love with Sweden and will be back in February next year to do Malmö, Goteborg and Stockholm. Do you have any recommendations for Stockholm in early feb? Is there much snow still about? We don’t get a lot of snow where I live in England 😢

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

That's so nice to hear! Both about the weekly routine and about liking Sweden :D The weather in February is really fickle, but most years there's still snow by then. It mostly gives the city a nice atmosphere, but aside from skating / skiing etc there's not all that much special to do in winter. All the normal indoor activities are still open though!

From a prejudiced Danish viewpoint that was a surprisingly cheap beer. :) Btw, I watched your video on South Sweden. Any plans on doing Helsingborg more in-depth?

Haha I think it's a bit more crap than Danish beer as well. But cheap for sure! And oh absolutely, I'd love to cover both Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg in more detail - but it takes so long to go there. It's definitely on my todo-list though!

[@tumarfa]

@@ThreeStarVagabond That sounds great! Thx! And I know the distances are considerably larger than in little Denmark. The 3 hours or so driving from east to west here is almost too much for me, which must sound kind of pathetic to a Swede. :)
