HEY!!! What about "The Avenue"/"Avenyn" in Gothenburg (second largest city of Sweden) and Tylösand beach in the nearby Swedish West Coast city of Halmstad??
Like a certain Per Gessle of Roxette, - remember the hit "It must have been love (but it's over now)" feautured in Pretty Woman? - a native of Halmstad, put it: "The West Coast girls are the best thing on Earth!"
The artricle:
A survey by Traveler's Digest, a US travel magazine has made a list of the cities that are home to the world's most beautiful women. Stockholm came out on top.
Rejecting the notion that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', Traveler's Digest set out to settle once and for all which of the world's cities is home to the most beautiful women. This is what it had to say about the local girls in Sweden's capital, Stockholm:
"Stockholm is a city filled with the best looking women in the world, women so good looking that when you walk in to a 7-11 you will swear that you have just walked into a reality TV set, What Happens When Supermodels Work at A Convenience Store?"
The women of Stockholm were given credit not only for their striking good looks but also for the fact that they are "extremely educated" and for having a clipped British accent to their English. In fact, in the view of Traveler's Digest, the women of Stockholm speak such good British English that one might actually be mistaken for thinking that they were English, if it wasn't for the fact that they are good-looking as well, of course.
But if the women of Stockholm are not what you are looking for then a short train ride over to neighbouring Denmark and Copenhagen will give you the chance to observe the runners up in their natural habitat.
"It's like Amsterdam, but instead of hookers, Copenhagen has porn stars," the magazine concluded.
Buenos Aires flew the flag for South America, taking third place in the list. Completing the top five destinations for loveless male travellers were Varna, Bulgaria and Los Angeles, USA.
(Correction to what I wrote above): I meant “The article”
Sorry.
Instead of pictures, I offer this comparision between Swedish and British nightclubs:

- No offense, dear Britons:D
Tall blonde blue-eyed busty girls are hot?
Who knew?
“Who knew?”
- The world is in a state of shock:)
“..the women of Stockholm speak such good British English that one might actually be mistaken for thinking that they were English, if it wasn’t for the fact that they are good-looking as well, of course.”
- Either, the author of this article is of Swedish or British origin.
Quite a difference. However, much of that might have been due to the specific clubs they chose.
No. But I do remember the "Amani Alfredo" scene.
ML/NJ
Italian girls are more beautiful
Dude! That's cold!
However, 30% of them are obviously clonally related to the original Swedish bikini team member, a very, VERY high percentage of clonal women for any society.
Striking.
Depends. My name ends in a vowel. I’m genetically programmed for brunettes. More Loren than Lisl. Capice?
The obligatory picture. You know the rules. This is serious thread.
Well, I know where I’m going for my next wife!
I didn't know you were lurking here, Mr. Obama.
Well, of course. Women tend to be better shots (just ask any of my ex-boyfriends). ;-)

“Quite a difference. However, much of that might have been due to the specific clubs they chose.”
- If I am to be serious, there are places in Sweden where you’re likely to encounter appalling ugliness, just like there also are plenty of establishments in Britain where most females DO NOT exactly resemble Lemmy Kilmister’s (front man of Motörhead) warty old mom.
Anyhow, I sometimes feel spoiled living in a country like this. OK, beer and gas is expensive and some times of year the weather isn’t that great, but I mean.. like...nice Volvos everywhere (I own one!), Swedish girls, drinkable tap water, nothing but well built houses, law and order (except in certain parts of Malmö) and great national soccer and ice hockey teams... Scandinavia is affluent, people are well educated, the women are very attractive and all that - but there’s something more to it that almost is beyond description, a presence of this unruly sentiment sprung from rigid Viking determination consisting in the conviction that we could bring forth a new Renaissance.
In the mid 14th century, the city of Florence, Italy, was staring into the wide open gates of Hell, struggling for survival while being plagued by the Black Death. Some decades later, She gave birth to an era encompassing democracy, freedom of speech, discoveries of new continents, modern science and industrialization.
Europe will have a new birth
- and Scandinavia paves the way.
BS, the best looking girls can be found on the streets of NYC any day of the week. Not only that, you get a wide selection from all over the world. Don’t forget, we got more of them than Sweden. LOL
“Well, of course. Women tend to be better shots (just ask any of my ex-boyfriends). ;-)”
- I’ve heard this plenty of times before and I believe it to be true.
In the Swedish Armed Forces there are a lot of competent female shots and I’ve heard several proud dads (for instance here on Free Republic) claim their daughters to outperform them in this area.
Greetings from Gothenburg, Sweden!
NYC is famous for pretty women not only in the US, but also over here in Europe.
Greetings from Gothenburg, Sweden!
I found my Swede in NYC, traded her in for German from NYC.
Spanish women are nice too. And they show their titties on the beach.
Funny how we men always tend to focus solely on the looks and bodies of women. Yes, undeniably, these feautures of them are indeed very striking and beautiful women who claim to be tired of being beautiful women are outrageous liars,
BUT women are indeed admirable in many other ways too - and the deranged teachings of Feminism isn’t needed to make me acknowledge this.
Even though the most brilliant geniuses throughout history have been men, women often exceed us in many vital domains of life like language, IQ tests (this is disputed though) and the ability of hunting things down (I still can’t believe one of the most, nay, THE most beautiful woman on Earth once chased ME and manage to capture me - it ought to have been the other way around, or?)

Quiet, I’m trying to enjoy the pictures here ;)
Ah, Varna, Bulgaria. Got stuck there for a week. It’s beautiful there, right by the Black Sea.
Worthless “Isn’t my Country Great” Ping
God bless Sweden!
If you like Sweden, you will love Iceland.
It seems it was settled by Vikings. Those sea going thieves left the sacked, pillaged, and looted villages with:
1. The prettiest girls in town.
2. A “fair and balanced” sample of the females.
Answer carefully, ‘cause NOW and the FemiNazi crowd are watching you.
;-)
“God bless Sweden!”
- Whatever aspects of Sweden you had in mind:
God bless Illinois and God Bless America!!
Please remember that all Europeans are NOT like Chirac (there is a reason why he is considered a corrupt person even here in Europe and on top of that viewed as a very bad spokesman of Europe).
Despite all the ridiculous mud-throwing on the Internet:
Love from Europe to our ETERNAL brothers and sisters in America, our own blood.
Nothing will ever change that,
WesternCulture
There was no need to get insulting. Miss the “Capice”?
Ping
Well put. You will often see a lot of mud slinging between Europe and America, but we’re allies to the core where it counts - Western culture and beliefs. We must fight together to protect them, or we will lose everything.
Oh yeah, and your women are pretty hot, too!

- From Europe:
By all means, let’s continue to insult each other in childish manners as long as we also remember how to act as responsible men and women upon being awarded the chance of making world history.
Just like boys will be boys, Europeans and Americans will always be bashing each other.
Little will these words matter in the long run.
Unique bonds speak for themselves.
“You will always find the best looking women living in the best neighborhoods, shopping in the best stores, eating in the best restaurants, staying at the best hotels.”
- Totally agree, fellow freeper.
Furthermore, who can blame women for functioning like this?
Being a man, I don’t exactly apologize for being addicted to beautiful cars and fast women (or perhaps it was the other way around?)
PS...Sorry about the game yesterday.
“PS...Sorry about the game yesterday.”
- Thanks for the concern, but if Sweden makes it to the quarter finals and Zlatan, as well as Henrik Larsson, wish to demonstrate to the world what the difference between a miserable little football scheme and a true Viking onslaught is, we’ll see fireworks go off.
Hej! Your post is making news around the world!
A radio talk show host, Mitch McConnell, on WLW am700 mentioned this article and discussed the beautiful women of Sweden for 15 minutes today.
He mentioned that he read the article on FreeRepublic. Your post is being talked about on “The Nation’s Station”
Congratulations! You are carrying the banner for Sweden here in the USA.
Keep up the good work!
Have fun at midsummer!

- Great news!!
I feel honored, both as a native of Sweden and as a member of this forum!
I read a little about WLW on the Internet. Seems to be run by true radio enthusiasts.
When I was a child, there was an American TV-series that was broadcasted here in Sweden about a radio station in Cincinnati. Perhaps it was inspired by “The Big One”?
Do you (or anyone else here) happen to know of it? Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the name.
“Have fun at midsummer!”
- I sure will. I’ll be visiting my friend’s summer house which is located in Dalsland, the region/landskap in Sweden with “the most of water” - large parts of Dalsland consist of lakes. Naturally, we’ll make a lot of boat cruises!
Best of regards from Gothenburg, Sweden!!
WKRP in Cincinnati.
The show was “WKRP in Cincinnati” and was a good one!
Is Dalsland near Vanern and Vattern?
The owner of Unikglas up the Avenue by TvaKanTen is a boat captain that does the Divorce Ditch between Goteborg and Stockholm. I always wanted to take that trip but never did!
Have a good time and stay out of trouble!
My goodness, what a difference!
Pig & Whistle is quite fitting.
“WKRP in Cincinnati.”
- Thanks for telling me!
I remember I liked this series although I don’t remember much of it.
A radio talk show host, Mitch McConnell.....
Mitch McConnell is a Senator, R-KY. the Republican Leader.
“The show was “WKRP in Cincinnati” and was a good one!”
- Thanks for helping me brush up my memory.
“Is Dalsland near Vanern and Vattern?”
- Dalsland is north of Gothenburg, located between Norway and lake Vänern (close to lake Vänern, but not to Vättern)
“The owner of Unikglas up the Avenue by TvaKanTen is a boat captain that does the Divorce Ditch between Goteborg and Stockholm. I always wanted to take that trip but never did!”
- I assume that you wish to stay happily married then?:D
I’ve never made that trip my self, but I can understand why it has become famous, even abroad.
On the other hand, if you are to spend just a SHORT amount of time in Sweden (if I’ve understood things correctly, you’ve spent more time here than so, therefore this probably doesen’t apply to you), there are better ways of arranging a trip I’d say.
Norway might be even more beautiful than Sweden, but IMO Sweden is blessed with a greater variety of beauty.
Skåne/Scania, The West Coast (both south and north of Gothenburg), Gotland, Stockholm, Dalarna, Småland, the deep, enchanting, forests of Norrland and last but not least the wildlife and the mountains of Laponia are all worth experiencing in a lifetime of a person who has discovered what a rewarding pursuit traveling is.
I’ve been to most countries in Europe, I’ve been to Asia and to the US.
I was very impressed, but like Cicero put it:
- It is by encountering what is foreign to us that we get to know ourselves.
Very true.
“The host is Mike McConnell.”
- MIKE McCONNELL??
So, the radio show is hosted by this guy:
