I'm not going to go into the various forms of grass-is-greenering that could apply here, but of course (?) I'm aware that a lot of Dutch like coming up here too for vacationing and such.
About English, that's kind of a point of pride up here (English was taught from age 11 when I was that age ~35 years ago, but these days it's from age 7 and my oldest kid is starting to have classes and understand more and more).
I would say that you can get very far using English in Sweden, both in business and in private. Probably quite a few Swedish people's English will start to fail if you e.g. open a random kitchen drawer and ask them to name all the things, but still. You can get by.
See also references like [1], I'm pretty sure I'm not making this up just to rose-tint all the blue and yellow. Or something.
