Stockholm’s Masterpiece

By Linda Tancs

City Hall is one of Stockholm’s most iconic buildings. It might be best known as the site of the Nobel Prize banquet, but it’s also a celebrated example of the Swedish National Romantic style, a Nordic architectural style that was part of the National Romantic movement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You can admire the architecture by walking along City Hall Park. Guided tours of the building are available in Swedish and English and include access to the Blue Hall, the Golden Hall, the Council Chamber and the Gallery of the Prince. In season you can climb City Hall Tower for panoramic views of central Stockholm.
