Things to do in Stockholm, Stockholm County: The Best Architectural Buildings
The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

Worth visiting just for the outside. It was rehearsal time when we were there so we couldn't go in . Nice bar across the way called Berns.

Spectacular, very good! The house was built in a Art Nouveau/ Secession style for a wealthy industrial and collector. His collection is outstanding, very high quality works by Swedish artist friends, by Munch and Danish artist Willumsen, and a sculpture garden. It is near the ferry to Nacka beach. A great place to walk, rest and simply the best museum in town.

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.

Dating back to the 13th century, this church has a distinct character and history. It is the oldest in the Old Town and is home to several relics as well as an impressive statue of Saint George fighting the Dragon. Storkyrkan can pique almost anyone's curiosity, not just the history buff's.

Visited this beautiful Cathedral and loved it although I would have liked to have spent more time. There is an entrance fee of 60 Kroner which goes towards the maintenance of the church. There is a toilet inside! In this Cathedral you will find the seven branched candlestick, the last judgement painting (1696), st George and the Dragon (carved out of oak 1489), the candle globe, the silver altar, the royal pews (1684), the pulpit (1700) the parhelion painting (1535) and the amazing Organ where the facade was made in 1789. This church (st Nicholas) was first mentioned in 1279. As you can see, I loved this visit.

Not lucky enough to pass by when it was open but the exterior is striking. It is also known as the House of Nobility. Completed in 1674, it served a parliamentary function in 1688. The manor roof was a new architectural approach in Sweden. It presently tends to the interests of Swedish nobility.
