Cons : * Weather is bad especially during winter, always cloudy, no sun. * Hard to make local friends, people are nice but distant. * Quite expensive to eat outside. * Most of the stores they don't accept Visa and Mastercard, you need to have Maestro card. * Housing is expensive and it's hard to find house.

I’ve been to Malmö multiple times and would say that I always feel safe during the day, but there are pockets I wouldn’t be so comfortable going to at night. The area close Triangeln Station is one place I didn’t feel so comfortable. Most of the center is fine though, I’d say — though I feel like the city has gotten worse since

It's an interesting city, but not very large. A local could show you the best parts in a day or two. I found it to be somewhat expensive.

Any other time of the year, you can find a decent apartment for a decent price (~€800/mo) and take advantage of low cost of living. Has plenty of hikes around, ideal if you have a vehicle.

Tiny place that revolves around surfing and skateboarding (fishing isn't as prevalent as I was expecting and much less compared to Essaouira). It's also not as 'sleepy' as everyone describes and not as cheap. Everyone knows each other and it's easy to dig into berber culture.

However, these days, after having seen most of Europe and some of the US, I can't help but feel that Gdansk's old town is small and everything that surrounds it has a distinct, post-communist feel, which I do not enjoy.
