What Does $100 Get You in Stockholm? | Sweden Travel Budget

- What does $100 get you in Stockholm...really? Sweden is an expensive place, so let's see what you can get for $100 in the most expensive city in Sweden.
In this video I explore what transportation around the city costs, what more or less typical souvenirs cost, and what some touristy activities will set you back. I also check out a Swedish marketplace, typical Swedish food, and - most importantly - how much beer costs in Stockholm.
Ever wondered what a viking helmet costs in Old Town? Or what a Dala Horse is? Or what typical Swedish kebab pizza looks like? Or how many of your internal organs you have to sell to afford to drink alcohol in Stockholm? Then this video is for you.

What a underrated channel! I'm glad to found out you. Nice job, keep rockin'!
Woohoo! So happy to hear that - really glad you enjoy it :D
I got seriously addicted to your videos. Excellent contents, excellent vibe. Love them.
Thank you so much! Very happy to spread the addiction! Um.. That sounds bad, but you know what I mean :D
This seems to be a very charming city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thank you so much! It really is a great city, but mostly in the summer. Haha now it's just a dark and cold season 😀 Cheers, and great stuff youre uploading too - I look forward to seeing what else you put up there
This is such a great idea for a video! It's so fun to see the things that you were attracted to buying and eating and trying. That viking pizza, hahaha! We love how you ended the video with a tribute to enjoying the best part of traveling--joining others outside in the sunshine in a beautiful park. Also it's awesome to see a clip of the island that you featured a few videos ago!
Whee, thank you! It was really fun trying to think of weird but still likely things to show off. Too bad that I couldn’t find a creamy "semla" to show... Haha, sneaky planning of me to shoot a clip at the island in preparation for this upcoming video 😀 But yeah the free things are almost the most important ones after all!
@@ThreeStarVagabond sorry it isnt that expensive i checked prices its almost exactly the same as in my country but sweden earns like 3 times more than us
@@kontorsik1769 Really? What country is that? But yeah that's true, expensive is always relative to the income after all
@@ThreeStarVagabond Lithuania
@@kontorsik1769 Oh alright! I thought the cost of living was much cheaper...
I don’t comment on videos, but I have on three of yours, this is another brilliant one, I love your sense of humour, love it!
I know the feeling, I rarely comment either. But thank you so much for doing it - and much appreciated! This totally made my morning now :D
Love his energy and he makes it so easy to understand
Thank you :D Really happy to hear that - cheers, and have a great day!
@@ThreeStarVagabondYou sound like you are from Sweden 🇸🇪
Amazing 👍👍👍
Stay safe and keep sharing your precious videos 💕💕
Thank you so much! :D Comments like this really make my day :)
Nice video Bro thanks
Thanks man :D
This is a great video!
I love the way you shoot and edit your material. You have a good sense of editing. The way you edit back and forth between yourself and various subjects, mixed with the soundtrack is very, very good! 🎬🎵 Makes the videos very entertaining and engaging. These kinds of videos inspire me to get better at editing 🎥 🎬🙂
Also, your videos are very informative and well-structured 🙂📚 Keep up the good job!
That is really awesome to hear! I'm trying to learn more about how to structure and edit videos - but I'm so happy that I'm getting somewhere. If I note anything I could suggest with your videos I'd love ro offer some thoughts (but well, not right now unfortunately since I'm on a road trip)
@@ThreeStarVagabond I think you nailed it 🙂 You keep the audience's interest up in your videos.
Oh that's very kind of you! I understand, hope you have a nice road trip! 🙂
@@rasmusjonsson4653 Thank you! Really nice to hear that ^_^ And thanks - hope you're having a great time too!
Awesome video! I never realized that a beer can also be fika. Now I’m fikasugen.
Take care buddy!
I guess that part is a bit debatable. But some people swear that you can have a fika at a pub, so I'll follow that opinion. Cheers to fika!
I love this!!! Gives me a great idea of how much money I'll need to visit Sweden! And I am SO getting a scooter!!! I've never tried one! Those pastries look delicious! BTW, your microphone looks really nice! I should get one of those!
Thank you! And oooh you have to try a scooter - they are so convenient for commuting. I have one of my own actually. The mic is a Rode SmartLav+ and really good! Cheers :)
@@ThreeStarVagabond I definitely must! I’m afraid I’ll fall lol. Clumsy. Nice! I’ll have to check it out! Your audio is great! 👍🏻
@@LifewithMiu Well... There have been some accidents... Eight now many people are questioning scooters, but I think they’re so easy to ride and so convenient! So you'll be fine! 😀
@@ThreeStarVagabond I suppose as long as you’re careful about it, it should be ok!
You were standing outside the hotel I've always staued in Stockholm!!
Haha what are the odds! :D
Excellent.
Thank you! :D
I have lived in Sweden for 6 years now and I love it! Such a great place to stay if you are a tourist or not!
I agree! I really like Sweden - except maybe in autumn... It's a bit too cold and too much rain!
I used to live in Sweden 🇸🇪 3 years ago.
The reason I left Sweden 🇸🇪 is because it’s a left wing country and I’m Far Right so it wasn’t my type.
I like Far Right nations like Japan 🇯🇵
*Liberal Democratic Party* is not Far Right but Right Wing that’s why it’s not that good party, if they were Far Right then Japan 🇯🇵 would be better and have lower taxes.
@@ThreeStarVagabondthe race I am is white so I like white colour. I also like black people but I don’t like black colour since white is my favourite colour.
Also blue is my 2nd favourite colour.
Israel 🇮🇱 Finland 🇫🇮 Scotland 🏴 Greece 🇬🇷 Somalia 🇸🇴 Micronesia 🇫🇲 Honduras 🇭🇳
@@JewishSheep Black is actually one of my favourite colors. White gets dirty too easily. And I just think that there are awesome people in all countries and colours... But then again, there are arseholes everywhere as well :)
Any county side agriculture society!!! And ehat kind local products in food you can find???
Good question! We have a lot of potatoes and wheat, and also vegetables that grow well in pretty cold climate. Not that much fruit and more exotic things (even though we grow them in greenhouses).
To save money on food, I just go to the supermarket like anywhere else in Northern Europe. Visst är Sverige bra! Jag skulle vilja ha en Dalahäst i min hemma.
Very good tip! I do the same timetimes when I'm abroad, but it's especially good to do in Sweden since it's so expensive to eat at restaurants. Haha, dalahästar är bäst!
I hate North American cinnamon buns because of the frosting, I always make cinnamon buns without the frosting. I really loved the Swedish cinnamon buns and always had them when I had fika in Sweden. I only bought dish cloths with Swedish motifs such as Dalarna horses, Swedish Midsummer and Swedish Folk Dancers.
Visited Skansen outdoor museum, Vassa Museum because we learned about it in my Swedish language class and we were told to visit it if we were ever in Stockholm. Didn’t have time to visit the ABBA Museum because I thought it was a tourist trap, although I enjoyed the Viking Museum, Birka Island and the boa trip around the Stockholm archipelago!
Sounds like you managed to do a lot of things! :D And I actually avoided the ABBA museum as well for a long time, but I ended up having a lot of fun when I finally went there. It is a bit expensive, but not a tourist trap as I feared.
Good on you for liking the non-frosting buns! Haha, that's just about the only thing Swedes get upset about, I think.
Hello! We live in Austria and are coming to Stockholm for 5 days next week. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks a lot for this!! You don't need cash, do I understand that correctly? Thank you and best regards. Michaela
Happy to hear that! And yes, that's absolutely correct. Most places refuse to take cash and will only take card payments in fact. Hope you'll have an awesome time here :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Thank you!
@@ThreeStarVagabond Good morning, did you make a video about public transport? And how to get to the city from Arlanda to the central station? I don't really understand the ticket up to 75 minutes. Is this one way for duration up to 75 minutes? Is that the cheapest option?
You would help me a lot! Thanks a lot for this! Michaela
@@MiDa2000 Actually, I haven't done that yet...but that could be a good idea! Alright, so there are a few options for getting from Arlanda to the city:
1) Taxi (expensive)
2) Arlanda Express train (a bit less expensive, quick)
3) VY Flygbussarna bus (not that expensive, decent speed) (129 SEK if you buy online and get a QR code; more expensive if you buy a physical ticket)
4) Public transport. This one is a bit complicated because there are multiple tickets. I believe that you can simply go to the commuter train station (at Sky City near Terminal 5) and buy one for 132 SEK.
The 75 minute SL ticket is basically a public transport ticket that's valid on commuter trains / bus / subway and you can change between them within those 75 minutes. BUT for the airport there's a specific Arlanda addition required. Thus the 132 SEK for the commuter train.
@@ThreeStarVagabond Thank you very very much!!!
Lol I would like to see what 10 dollar would get you in Stockholm. You can get just as much of a turist experience just having that much even in Stockholm. There usually are free entertainments I belive there is a free boat ride/ ferry, there are the botanical gardens, museums that are free, and there are free guidning tours like walking through the city and around the castle, and there are apps that is used by restaurants where you can get food that might be a wrong order or leftovers that you can get for free or for cheap. And there are places where you can go eat and pay what you can, and buying soveneirs can be cheap if you go the secondhand stores or flea markets, same with food trucks and the like. Or you can still use the bus or the train which is fairly cheap you dont need to get around in the flashy way, but there are places that lets you have a bike or scooter for one day trial.
I absolutely agree! Many of the things in this video actually came from thinking up silly things I could show in Stockholm - like buying Dala horses or a viking hat. And a kebab pizza! It felt like a fun way to show pretty much true costs of touristy things while having a bit of fun with it all :)
@@ThreeStarVagabondNext time you make video in Sweden 🇸🇪 I recommend going to Gröna Lund and Skansen ZOO. I grew up going to Gröna Lund so I got many memories from there, 10 years ago 2013.
Like to see more what is available also at night life entertainment???
Very good point! I need to cover more of the Stockholm nightlife actually :D
I am alowed to be everywhere in sweden
LOL
I know this is a bit late to ask but is the exchange used for $USD? Im coming from Australia so i'm trying to use a $AUD budget hahah
To be honest, at the time I just googled e.g "120 sek in usd"... But I guess 8.5 or something? And by now it's more like 10. Then again, inflation has struck horribly as well, so it's all more expensive now. So... I'm suspect that there's like a 30% uncertainty on all the prices, given inflation and exchange rates!
10 SEK used to be 8 USD
I mean 100 SEK used to be 10 USD while Euro was 8 or something???????????
Dear meatballs and Viking hats… you know exactly what the people want 🤣 Oh, and FYI: I eat the peppers on a kebab pizza!
Haha I have to live up to the steteotypes! What else is CZcams made for? Oh and... I don't believe you. Nope. No one does!
I'm 73 can I expect any age discounts?
Yes, at least at most museums and public transport. But unfortunately not everywhere. Look for the word "pensionär" - that's often used for age discounts!
5:28 those are not pepperoni, but jalapeños 😂
Haha! Oh well, close enough 😄
@@ThreeStarVagabondI call them green long kebab vegetables.
Just kidding.
@@JewishSheep I'll adopt that phrase now :D
Like your style. You should start a CZcams Channel. Subbed!
Thanks a lot! But.. Start a channel? Isn't that what I have? Have I been doing this channel thing incorrectly?! :D
LOL
this is why i stay in Roslagen , Sthlm is too damn expensive !
Haha, I have a feeling the cost is still not super cheap over there...
I was born in Stockholm so I don’t want to go somewhere else in Sweden 🇸🇪
I tried Gothenburg but I didn’t like it, they spoke different Swedish in Gothenburg so I didn’t feel like home there
Very expensive place, maybe I will sell my house to come for an overnight stay 😂
Haha as long as you don't eat or drink or do anything it can be really affordable 😀
Unless I come over and be homeless in the streets
@@continentalcoxons Well, I'll buy you a beer at least so it's not all bad :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond so very kind of you, I could be one of those drunken homeless people 😂
@@continentalcoxons Well, at least there's beer! So I guess there are worse fates... A homeless vegan non-drinker?
100 dolares en suecia no duran nada. Es uno de los paises mas caros del mundo
Ahhhh, semlor 😍
Ahhhh, Gamla Stan 😍
Ahhhh, prices 😖
Only Oslo is more expensive 😂
Haha, I would have to sell internal organs just to afford to eat out in Oslo 😀
@@ThreeStarVagabond 😂
That was an expensive beer
Oh, things are getting a lot worse now after all the inflation...
@@ThreeStarVagabond😢 oh no, not the beer 😭😭
@@ydopeoplelovetotalk This guy has the right priorities!!!
@@ThreeStarVagabondThe reason it’s inflation in Sweden 🇸🇪 is because the government are left wing and left wing loves inflation since they want to pay back the debt they own and with inflation they will earn more money so it’s easier to pay it back.
But the problem is that the people will suffer.
@@JewishSheep I don't really think the answer is that simple... There's a combination of many insane decisions that led to this mess...
It’s worth 1000 kr
NOW it is yeah.
No. 1K SEK is a lot of money.
Sweden 🇸🇪 should be ashamed of themselves.
Still more you can do than usa lol.
Well, given how inflation has hit Sweden lately I'm not so sure....
Notable omission - pizza salad! An entirely Swedish invention misattributed by Swedes to Italians, at least if my colleagues are to be regarded as a credible representation of Swedes.
Damn, you're right! I never eat the stuff myself, but that should definitely have gotten a special mention... I totally forgot about it, and they even had a whole plate of it lying around!
It’s expensive in Sweden 🇸🇪 since they are mostly left wing there.
Yeah, I don't think our insane inflation helps either right now :D
Expensive and racist
@@Manuqtix.Manuqtix The left wing are racist.
The Far Right are against racism.
@@Manuqtix.Manuqtix Many immigrants who vote Far Right nationalists in Sweden 🇸🇪
Is it true that Sweden is very unsocial?
Yes and no... Very social on a superficial level, but hard to get to know for real...
