At https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html you are instructed to run:
composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton my-project
whereas at http://symfony.com/doc/current/quick_tour/the_big_picture.html you are instructed to run:
composer create-project symfony/skeleton quick_tour
I have just done both. Using symfony/website-skeleton I got an error message in the browser: No route found for "GET /"
With symfony/skeleton I did get a Welcome to Symfony 4.0.4 page.
What are the differences between the two and why would you use one rather than the other?

It's common to call the Symfony framework a Full Stack Framework. This goes back to the days of it providing everything on the server side, from templating with Twig to data persistence by integrating the Doctrine ORM.
If you have file system access to the project Look inside the file for a line like: const VERSION = '5.0. 4'; that's the Symfony version number.
Fabien Potencier Being a developer by passion, he immediately started to build websites with Perl. But with the release of PHP 5, he decided to switch focus to PHP, and created the symfony framework project in 2004 to help his company leverage the power of PHP for its customers.
This framework makes it extremely simple when it comes to authorization – you only need to configure a database and models during migration. Symfony is an excellent choice for long-term, complex projects. It will cost you more money, but it will repay you when you want to personalize your app.
Came here as a result of a similar search, but was more interested in what's under the hood.
Not to take away from the accepted answer, but for those who, like me, were after something more detailed, you can look at the package details in packagist and reviewing the dependencies noted in the requires and requires dev sub-sections:
https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/website-skeleton
Includes: framework, framework extra, console, asset, security, validator twig, doctrine, http client, serialiser, yaml, dotenv, flex, form and validator packages among others.
https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/skeleton
Includes: console, dotenv, flex, platform and yaml only.
Seems like a no brainer, but if you came here looking for it, it's there.

The new symfony edition (Symfony 4) is "bundle less".
Symfony core team decided to not provide the Symfony Standard Edition for Symfony 4.0 that means when you run composer create-project symfony/skeleton you download the minimum package to start an application and you have to download the over packages needed and you need to explicitly add all the dependencies you want to depend on (twig, routing...) look here for other package .
But it could be difficult for new comers and the Symfony core team dediced to provide an edition with the minimum common Symfony features.
You get it with composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton.
