It depends on where you are from. If you coem from a EU country it is fairly easy, but outside EU is very difficult. You should definitely check out http://www.denmark.dk/en where you will find all the information you will need. If you already have a job waiting the process is said to be much easier. Copenhagen is the most expensive, and Aarhus is getting there. The rule is that the largest cities are the most expensive, however it is easier to get a job where there are a lot of people.
2 :
It depends on your nationality. If you are an EU citizen you can just go and work. If you are from Canada, Austrailia, or New Zealand than you can get a Working Holiday Visa. If you are from anywhere else then you will probably need to get an immigration lawyer. I lived in Copenhagen and it was farely expensive but really not that much more then Canada.
3 :
u know i'm sure that moving anywhere is hard and a long process but any place in europe is good to move to because of the educational system and pretty much everything. plus denmark has good banks.
4 :
It is practically impossible if you are from the US. If you have an education that we need (doctor, nurse, engineer, IT specialist) you can get a residence & work permit. If you can afford it you can study in Denmark. It is quite easy to obtain a study permit if you get accepted into an education. You can marry a Dane and obtain a residence permit. Besides from that there are practically no way you can live in Denmark on a US passport.
5 :
The US is one of a handful of countries that are allowed to stay in country while residence or work permission is being processed (the others are listed on the working holiday visa tip another answer gave you) . No other countries are allowed this in DK. However, you do need a job offer, and employer must file the offer with all relevant details (description, salary, hours, justification for non-Danish, non-Nordic, non-EU worker to fill it--preference given in that order). You are supposed to be approved for residence/work permission BEFORE arriving to Denmark--but like I said, some leeway is given to citizens of a few countries if it appears everything is in order before approval is given. Forms and instructions at Denmark.dk. Decisions are currently taking 6 months or longer. Send applications and all required supporting credentials to your nearest Danish Consular services office. Language will be an issue if you are not working for a company with English as the primary language; these are mostly in Copenhagen. To have a chance with a Danish company, you will need to prove language proficiency. Norwegian or Swedish proficiency will help, but 2 candidates being equal otherwise, then Danish is preferred.

Well, that really depends on how good you are at saving - and whether you're willing to save at all! It also depends on where in Denmark you'll be living, whether you'll be driving a car, using public transportation or simply walking. Well, I'm a student and I make do with 6000 DKK per month all inclusive. I do use public transportation and there's enough money for me to eat a fairly sensible diet. But I can't afford restaurant visits or designer clothes - even a lot of H&M clothes are too expensive. But it's possible. A full-time supermarket job would probably earn you about 17000 DKK per month before taxes (which are high!) - and I'd think any job which requires some education would earn you from 20.000 DKK upwards per month.

Since i am an overly nationalistic Dane, i will of course say Denmark... But most things are cheaper in Germany, so if economy is a big issue then Germany is the place. Yet if you do not speak any of the languages i would suggest Denmark, good English skills are very common (it is my impression that it more common than in Germany) and most foreign TV is subtitled in Danish, so you will be able watch English and American TV shows if you just ignore the subtitles, where in Germany they usually dub everything in German.
2 :
I am an Englishman living in Denmark. I have visited Germany before and Berlin is my favourite city in the world. More people in Denmark can speak English than in Germany, so it is easier to live here if you can't speak the native language. Things are a lot cheaper in Germany. I know people that drive to Germany every couple of months to stock up on beers, etc. because it is so much cheaper there, and I live on the island called Sjælland so it is quite a drive to get there. I'm pretty sure tax is a lot higher here but you do get what you pay for. Completely free university education, excellent health service, clean country, etc.

Best place to live, Denmark, Sweden or Finland

Best place to live, Denmark, Sweden or Finland?
Hi! I have to opportunity to work in one of those 3 beautiful country for a few years starting in spring 2009. My job will offer me and my future wife an above average living conditions in any of the three but I can't decide what country is best for us. Here is what interests us: - beautiful city (parks, old buildings, sights so see) - good public transportation (i don't mind using a bike but i think that when is raining or at winter is harder to go to work with a bike). I prefer the subway but that's because in my city (Bucharest) due to traffic is the fastest way to travel - recreation (parks, cinemas) - safety - health care (public or private) - tolerance towards immigrants - pollution Thank you!

All your alternatives are good, but my choice would be Finland. Good public transportation, not too pricey country, completely safe and relatively immigrant-friendly (practically everybody speaks English)...
2 :
Oh boy, you won't have an above-average life conditions. Our lovely tax system will take care of that <3.
3 :
gothenburg, sweden great transportation get on a tram and it'll take u anywhere in gothenburg seeing as they use trams (electricity powered) theres hardly no pollution. safety - safe liseberg (one of the biggest theme parks in europe) a lot of cinemas, museums, football stadiums (soccer) sweden accept most immigrants in europe (per capita) most places are immigrant friendly apart from malmö which is a pretty racist city.
4 :
All 3 are good, but I would say Denmark is the best..
