Hello everyone,

I will be moving to Sweden in the next couple of months from Turin (Italy), a company relocation for work on a permanent basis. My place of work will be 脰verum but from Google maps, I've seen that the closest city/twon to live looks like is V盲stervik.聽 Can anyone of you please suggest me how is the city V盲stervik to live in?聽 Maybe there are other better beautiful town/cities nearby which I don't know. Obviously, I don't know and would like to know from the local Swedes living in the nearby areas living or any other expats who are living closeby

I've read that majority of Swedes speak English but is it the case also with this city/town? how is the city in general, public transportation to 脰verum ecc or to travel nearby using bus or trains? is the city buzzing or really dull?

Also, if anyone know any other cities nearby within a radius of 80 kms from 脰verum to live and is really good in terms of all amenities, supermarkets, restauarants, events ecc for the youth (cause I'm young as well聽

), please let me know. will be really helpful.

V盲stervik is the big city over there. 脰verum is in V盲stervik kommun so all its resources, medical, dental etc. are found in V盲stervik. My wife's parents live in 脰verum and we visit them several times every year. 脰verum is a very small and quiet community. A grocery store, a small pub and all the forests and lakes around the聽 village you could ever want.

V盲stervik is a very nice sized small town on the most beautiful east coast archipelago you can imagine. The summer activities are endless and water sports are abound. This last weekend I was in V盲stervik with my wife visiting friends and enjoying the "Visfestivalen" which happens every year! I believe next weekend is when V盲stervik has the annual MC meeting where thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts show up for fun and music activities.

Winters can be very cold and dark but It's like this pretty much all over Sweden this time of year.

You can easily commute by train between V盲stervik and 脰verum. It is a small and cute commuter train which winds its way through several small villages connecting them together.
