Booze prohibitively pricey. However, the cold weather is great for neutralising hangovers. Plus the Vasa museum is well worth a trip. And if you are into industrial strength coffee and meatballs, fill yer boots!

As stated above somewhere. Stockholm in the winter is most likely teeth crackingly cold.

if you are ok with that then go for it.

it is quite a nice town.

The cold isn't so much of a problem as the lack of daylight. And beer is about £5 for a small bottle.

It's a cool place, with more blondes per capita than anywhere else I've been...

Great if you want a secure contract without worry of early termination.

Not so great if the contract turns out to be wearing a gimp suit in someone's cellar. Always read the small print.

Sent from my Blackberry, from a cellar in Stockholm whilst wearing a gimp suit!

FTFY.

Suspect you'll need a Work Permit or visa if not an EU Citizen...

Anybody got any experience of living and working in Stockholm- they are willing to pass on?

They always seem to look for people going into the winter, so I have never gone too cold for me. Sorry I can't be of any help.

AussieLong you know if you don't want people to take the piss out of you, you should post this in "Business/Contracts" not in "General".

You can also do a search for "Sweden" or "Stockholm".
