 The Blue Hall by wadekorzan
The picture shows the so-called "Blue Hall", which in fact is not blue at all. Though they architect origially wanted to make it all blue, he fell in love with the red bricks and decided to leave it that way. However, people already knew it as the Blue Hall and so the name stuck.
This is the room where the Nobel banquets are held. Of the 6 nobel prizes given out, 5 of them are given in Stockholm (and the Peace prize is given in Oslo).
The architecture is beautiful and is much more reminiscent of something you would find in Italy than in Sweden, and the way the light peeps in from the upper part of the inner courtyard is magical.
There are only a few tours per day, usually at 10 AM, 12 noon, and 2 PM, but hours change frequently so it's best to check with the Tourist Office for the day you want to go.
Price of the tour is 50 Swedish Krone, and it is well worth it. The tour lasts about one hour, and you are not allowed just to walk through on your own.
When I was there (May 2004), it was not possible to ascend the tower for the view over Stockholm due to a recent fire. Leave a Comment

The City Hall of Stockholm is one of the most beautiful and well known buildings in the world and the most exclusive ballroom in Stockholm, frequently used for e.g. the yearly Nobel Banquet. Behind the brick walls, several different activities take place.
The City Hall is known for its hospitality, its unique art treasures, magnificent banquettes and an intriguing history attracting close to 400,000 visitors a year.
From the City Hall, which is the main symbol for the capital of Sweden, the City of Stockholm is being governed. Around 200 politicians and civil servants have their offices in this building.

Stockholm's impressive City Hall was built from 1911-23 in National Romantic style and turned out 3-times more expensive than planned.
You can visit it with a guided tour in Swedish or English for 60 SEK. The tour takes about 50 minutes and you'll see the beautiful "Golden Hall" and the hall where the Nobel price banquet is held. The 106m high tower can only be visited during the sommer months, it was already closed for the season when I was there in October. Leave a Comment

The City Hall is situated on the south-east corner of Kungsholmen [very near to Centralen] & is one of the favorite meeting points of Stockholmers. If the weather is nice, you'll see people hanging around there, wearing nothing but their underwear, jumping in the water, doing yoga, sleeping - whatever! I used to drop there every time I was around & I've spendt a lot of time there. There's also a great view of Gamla Stan from there, so that was really nice!
The City Hall's Blue Hall is also home to the annual Nobel Prize party! I haven't been inside last time, but it sounds pretty poshy, doesn't it? ;) Leave a Comment

Be sure to check tour times with the tourist center for the particular day that you will be there, because times are not always the same. Price of the one hour tour is 50 Swedish Krone... Leave a Comment

 The Golden Hall by wadekorzan
You can't walk through the city hall on your own, so be sure to take one of the tours for 50 Swedish Krone. The tour lasts for one hour. Leave a Comment

Not only impressive on the outside and as a great location for views across the waters and to the old town of Gamla Stan I would recommend taking a tour of the opulent and interesting interior - famous for its venue of the Nobel Peach Prize awards (lavish affairs!).
An extended tour time meant there was an additional tour being held at 4pm which was great for me - whereas hadnt been added onto any info available from the Tourist offices info. But about hourly normally during the summer they are held and take up to about 45 minutes.
Giving you loads of information - the building does look like its amazingly old but is not yet 100 years old! Made of materials from around and to symbolise Stockholm - including the beautiful marble and granite. Leave a Comment

People are constantly enjoying themselves in front of the Stadshuset - including me! :) My friends kept saying that they were so lucky for having me there, because it seemed that I've brought nice weather to Sweden! The whole time I was there the temperatures were as high as 28°C, so we were able to sit outside the whole time, take strolls around the city & stay out a bit longer...
The stairs in front of the Stadshuset were my favorite spot! They offer an amazing view of Gamla Stan & it's perfect for dipping your feet, lying on the grass & reading a book... I just used to just sit there & stare... I miss it now. Leave a Comment
