The Stockholm City Hall is one of Sweden's most famous buildings, and one of the capital's most visited tourist attractions. It houses offices for 200 people including the Municipal Council, and is also famous for its grand ceremonial halls and unique art pieces. The Stockholm City Hall is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet held on 10 December each year. Between May and September, the City Hall Tower offers a breathtaking view of Stockholm.
There are two separate tours you can take at Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset). They have separate entrances and separate prices. The tower tour entrance is on the left when inside the vilify hall courtyard and facing the lake. The city hall tour entrance is on the right. Both tours are worth taking but we enjoyed the tour of the tower the most. There are 365 steps to the tower viewing area. It is a very interesting and enjoyable climb, mostly up ramps that go up in a square shape, through brick walled corridors with triangular brick ceilings, around the perimeter walls of the tower. There are also some stairs and the option of an elevator to take you part of the way up. The 360 degree views from the viewing platform are spectacular. You get fantastic views of Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen. Tours are timed and one group must leave the platform before the next comes up. The main part of city hall is only accessible via paid guided tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting. It is best to avoid Saturdays for tours as some areas are closed for multiple weddings on that day. The highlights are the huge Blue Room (which isn’t blue), the council chambers, the Prince’s Gallery (with beautiful frescoes) and the over-the-top Golden Hall with its elaborate gold mosaics depicting Swedish history.

This street offers a spectacular view of the city.
This historic area is located high up on the edge of a cliff and has a fantastic view of the city. The well-preserved wooden buildings are from the 1700s.

Picturesque little courtyard just near to the Royal Palace and Stockholm Cathedral, with the Nobel Museum and some good eateries (I got very delicious, moist and fresh pastries and sweets at the Grillska Huset, Stockholms Stadsmission). Just parallel is actually a much less crowded, super charming old long street from the 1400s - it can be found in Rick Steves "Gamla Stan (Old Town) Walking tour" which is in his invaluable guidebook, "Scandinavian & Northern European Cruise Ports Guidebook" - highly recommended!
