I am currently thinking about taking a weeks holiday abroad. I am stuck on where to go to though. I am thinking of Sweden or Finland. I chose them as they are home to my favorite bands and i have kind of feel in love with there whole style and i think from what i have seen both places are beautiful. Where do you suggest I try first?
Also this would be my first trip abroad on my own as I am 22, but Im do want to travel alot and this would be a great start.
Also what do you think would be a good city to try. I was thinking that for Sweden i could try Stockholm or Malmo and for Finland i could try Helsinki. You guys and girls know any others i could look into.
One last thing, what are some good places to go to. I am really into photography so good architectural places would be fantastic
Sweden would definately be the given answer! 
No seriously, no offense to Finland but Sweden really is beautiful. Architecturally most Swedish cities are very beautiful and very unlike other large cities in the world and this is very much due to the lovely architecture. If that’s all you want to see then Stockholm is definately worth going to. Its a big city metropol known as the Venice of Scandinavia compromising all types of styles, cultures and architecture.
Malmö city centre is also nice and the big difference in architectural styles between southern and northern Sweden is very visible there (for a number of years Malmö along with Skåne belonged to Denmark and thus is influenced by the Danes). However, the city is not as big as Stockholm and outside city centre there just isn’t much to look at.
Then of course there’s Gothenburg. Now that’s known as the London of Sweden. It’s definately smaller than Stockholm but larger than Malmö. People visiting Gothenburg often speak of its friendly and hospitable people. The city compromises all kinds of shopping, dining and clubbing as well as a wide architectural style spectra ranging from 17th century to modern (take a look at the opera house!).
So take your pick!

well…malmo i can seriously say..NO.. dont go there mate..its a bloody boring place..the only advantage of being in malmo is that u r 20 mins away from Copenhagen,Denmark which is a very cool place.. A few friends of mine visited Helsinki and were not very impressed with it.. If your choice is just between cities of Sweden and Finland, a would say go to Stockholm, not because its any cool city but better among the other ones..happy journey !!

Stockholm is probably the best city ive been to. It has these wonderful islands, the architecture is amazing, and excellent resturants, bars, etc… Beatiful wilderness in Sweden too. Charming lakes, though Finland has even more of that. Ive never been to Finland, but I know its excellent too, and I really want to go. Great music there too, im guessing you’re into rock or metal, which is really popular. Other popular cities in Finland are Turku and Tampere.

Finalnd, personally I love it’s lakes and it’s beautiful nature and I prefer Finland, Helsinki is a calm city and the Finnish people are the best.
I would raccomand u to see some photos from Finland in http://www.flickr.com and than u’ll see that it’s the best choice, I would like u to give some photos but unfortunately I can’t, I’ve got a lot cause I’m a big fan of Finland from the Balkans.

Both Sweden and Finland are beautiful. But if you ask me, of course I wud say Sweden. The best time to go is during summer Jun to August.
The city you should go is stockholm because there are many activities you can do.
