    One of the highlights of our trip!
    Our tour of Stockholm City Hall was certainly a highlight of our weekend break to Stockholm. At 45 mins in length it is perfect for keeping your attention and allows enough time to see each of the rooms including the hall used for the Nobel Prize Banquet.

    You can only visit by booking a guided tour and I would advise pre booking as on the day we visited the first two tours were already sold out.

    You can take pictures inside the hall during the tour and you are free to wonder around the courtyard and gardens ( which have fabulous views overlooking the water) without paying. There is a cafe and restaurant, although we didn’t use, them plus a gift shop.

    I must take a few minutes to commend our fabulous guide. We were on the 2pm tour on the 19th Feb and although I’m sorry not to remember her name, she was amazing, friendly and professional. Interesting, knowledgable, and passionate about her work place and culture are three more words I would use to describe her. The pace of the tour was perfect and so was the group size ( I think there were around 10 of us).
    The lady who sold us our tickets in the morning was also very friendly, helpful and patient while we took time deciding which tour to book. The ladies who welcomed us into the hall were also very friendly and welcoming.

    A few things to note. A meeting is held in one of the rooms on the tour on the third Monday of each month so avoid the 3pm tour on that day as you may not get to see it and weddings are held on Saturdays so some rooms may not be available then either, although you may get to see the couples taking photos in the courtyard.
    There are toilets inside the lobby you are able to enter 10 mins before the tour starts and a cloak room too. It is an unmanned cloakroom but you are able to leave things there if you wish. Backpacks must be worn on your front during the tour or left in the cloakroom.

    All in all it is an excellent experience and very good value for money at approximately £11 per person.

    Well done Stockholm City Hall.

    History, Religion, & Art Packaged In Nordic Gothic-style Brickwork
    Storkyrkan offers visitors an interesting history and some beautiful artwork. Everybody is pretty enamored by the statue of St. George slaying the dragon, but I was personally quite intrigued by the Parhelion Painting. The story behind the tomb of Lasse Skytte was also captivating. Be sure to stop in here for an hour or so if you're in Gamla Stan.

    Atmosphere and fantastic rooms.
    Magical place. Quiet and reclusive, a perfect frame for watching Munch, Larsson, Strindberg, Zorn and the other selected artists. Stockholms most beautiful pearl.

    “DRAMATIC” Exteriors!
    I noted this attraction while travelling via Tram #7 from Central Station to the Djurgarden Island. The exteriors are so Dramatic, There are several statues painted in gold and beautiful flowery motiffs on the upper areas of the building.

    I plan to stop by here after my visit of the Djurgarden Island to see it more closely and to know if tours inside are available to visitors.

    Beautiful palace
    This unique conference and banquet facility dates back to the 17th century.

    The house was built in the 1670s for the Dutch-born Swedish military officer Thomas van der Noot.

    The palace houses a popular lunch restaurant which is open weekdays from 11:00 to 14:00.

    It's a tunnel
    Connecting two parts of Stockholm this is a quick way to avoiding roads, traffic, and dodge the rain too. It's clean and closes overnight so check your times.

    Short historic street
    Mäster Mikaels gata is located on eastern Södermalm. It stretches from Katarina church to Cornelisparken.

    The origin of the neighborhood’s name 'Mäster Mikael' has got its name from Michael Reissuer. He practiced his craft as the city executioner in 1635–1650 at the nearby gallows on Stigberget and lived on this street.

    In connection with the Katarina fire in 1723, all the houses in the vicinity of this street were destroyed. Despite the subsequent ban on the construction of wooden houses, the houses that line Mäster Mikaels gata were built of wood. They were completed in 1729.

    The first skyscrapers in Europe
    These two impressive buildings are located in the Norrmalm district on opposite sides of Kungsgatan. The symmetrical buildings are connected from the fourth floor by a footbridge running across the street.

    The northern tower was completed according to architect Sven Wallander's drawings in 1924. The southern tower, designed by Ivar Callmander, was completed one year later. The 60-meter-high buildings have 17 floors.

    Both buildings are office buildings, but there is business space on the ground floors and a restaurant on the top floor.
