Stockholm City Hall is an absolutely stunning place! It's a majestic building that combines history, art, and functionality. The architecture impresses, while the details captivate with their beauty and precision. The interiors are equally enchanting—with richly decorated halls, golden mosaics, and magnificent views from the tower, it makes an incredible impression. It's a place that inspires and lingers in your memory for a long time. Visiting Stadshuset is truly a feast for the eyes and the soul!

Superb architecture and location! We visited there in winter and it was an amazing experience. Since its inauguration in 1923, this building has served various political and ceremonial purposes. It hosts the meetings of the Stockholm City Council and the Nobel Prize banquet each year on December 10th. Definitely worth the visit!

Visiting Stockholm City Hall was one of the highlights of our trip! This place is iconic, both outside and inside. The history, the architecture, and the stories behind every detail come alive on the guided tour. Our guide was phenomenal—smart, kind, and endlessly patient. She made the experience unforgettable with her clarity and enthusiasm, answering every question with a smile and providing great tips for exploring the city. The Golden Hall and the Blue Hall are stunning, but it’s the personal touch from guides that makes this tour exceptional. Don’t skip City Hall if you’re in Stockholm—it’s a beautiful building that leaves a lasting impression, especially with such skilled guidance.

We arrived too late for the tour, so we couldn’t go inside, but the building is quite beautiful from the outside and totally worth walking around. You also get a really nice view of the city from the back.
