Money
Living in Sweden is expensive if we are to compare the cost of living with that in other countries. Out of all your monthly expenses, accommodation will probably be the biggest one, because renting is not cheap..After rent, food costs usually represent the second largest expense on monthly budget, but if you decide to cook for yourself and to buy your food at supermarkets, eating in Sweden is surprisingly affordable. Cheap foreign discount supermarkets have appeared in Sweden in recent years, making it easier to stock up on budget groceries.
Generally speaking, Stockholm and Gothenburg (and to some extent also Malmö) are the most expensive Swedish cities to stay in.
The monetary unit in Sweden is the krona SEK (plural “kronor”) and equals 100 öre.
