I’ve only been to Norge, but it was pretty 180 in the summertime. Finland isn’t Nordic and doesn’t belong in this grouping. Replace with Iceland 🇮🇸. Thank.

Overall I don't think anywhere in Scandinavia would be good to live year round. There's barely any daylight in the winter and that fucks with your head when you're there for a while. Oslo is not the most raucous capital city, i'd probably choose Stockholm or Copenhagen.

I lived in Norway for a year, and have to say Norweigians are competitive and unforgiving, while Sweden is so elegant and down to earth-- real people, easy to love.

I worked for an energy company in Oslo with traders who were hyper competitive about everything from the address you lived, to the car you drove, to the specific vintage of Burgundy Grand Cru you drank. I guess it's in their Viking DNA. But, should you exceed them in any way, or slight them by sarcasm or understatement, they would resent it and go from friend to frenemy in a heartbeat. There was one trader who found out about my lifelong interest in golf and tennis, so he invited me to his exclusive club with a missive that read: "We play, I beat you." Just that friendly.

Denmark = Sweden >> Norway > Finland
Denmark is the most normal, chill. Best food, best weather, fewest bad laws, connected to continental Europe. Sweden is really nice too, but further north. More attractive people, worse beer but maybe better food than Denmark. Norway is isolated in a good way and beautiful but super boring. Finland is LOL weird and kinda more its own thing than "Scandinavian." (The Finnish prime minister character in Veep was spot on.)
