When I remember he didn't win...

[kittenishgirl]

Oh... again? I guess so. I heard everyone stayed in Copenhagen and travelled across for the shows last time because it was nicer though.

tbf there's only really like 3 cities in Sweden that can host

[goldenhera]

I would do the same since the ride (by car or train) is 45 min or less.

Last year when esc was in torino, my friends and i stayed in an airbnb in the center of milano because it was cheaper (fast train ticket included)

I really want Petra Mede to host again but she's been having health problems.

[aprilbegins]

Oh no, I didn't know that :( She's a brilliant host

[mikochin]

Malmö again? Pretty sure it's the third time it's been hosted there...

[slaughtermatic]

It's big enough and no one cares if people trash it so 🤷‍♀️

[mikochin]

True, I can't argue with that lol

[muffintiem]

tbh as long as it's not Stockholm I do not care where it's hosted, but I am glad it's not in Gbg bc there's always construction happening that makes the city irritating to navigate as it is

I went to lunch with friends the other day and the tram stop I normally get off at was closed and the nearest one was a 15 min walk uphill 💀💀💀

I hope we have Petra Mede hosting again, I love her

Oh lol, I visited Göteborg almost 20 years ago and literally all I remember is construction sites. I'm thinking of travelling around Sweden a bit next year and wanted to finally properly see the city, but your comment makes me go Hmmm... xD

tbf the project is relatively short-lived and should be done in the next few weeks but in the last 10 years the city has really started to grow and tons of new shit is going up so it's just growing pains I guess

June is the best time of year to visit imo, even if the weather is super unpredictable, but this entire area out here is gorgeous and there's so many small islands to visit in the archipelago. My husband and I go to Grebbestad every summer and buy a kilo of fresh crayfish and shrimp and just go to town. I did not like seafood before moving here but absolutely LOVE the stuff from our waters, summer is the best time to eat it too!

Aww, thank you for the recommendations! I have an acquaintance in Lysekil & what she's shown me of the landscape is soo beautiful indeed! Island hopping sounds fun too, but... I'm not sure if I can find anyone to join me, so I'd probably pick things to do & places to go that won't make me look & feel extra alone lol. Although I now have to picture myself sitting at some beautiful waterside sobbing into a kilo of crayfish, "Are you ok, Ma'am?" - "Nej!" 😅
