    A nice spot with lots of brides coming to take their wedding photos, which in my opinion contributes to the beauty of the place. Booking in advance is advised for visiting the tower, since there is one visit around every 35 minutes and the number of places are limited; so it can be sold out. On top of the tower you see a nice view, and there are 350 steps to go up. There is also an elevator with limited capacity which goes up half way. But there are safety bars that limit the visibility.

    A very beautiful building. From the outside but even more from the inside. The Tour is really interesting and delivers great details in an exciting way. The Tour guide was very nice, knew everything there is to know and made it a great time. A must see!

    Grand building used to host the Nobel banquet among other major events. You have to do a guided tour - there is no self guided option - check the website for timings because they vary by season. There is also a tower you can tour by yourself. However, you need a separate ticket for a visit at a specific time. Tip - arrive about 15-20 minutes before your City hall guided tour is scheduled to start, purchase a ticket for your guided tour of city hall first and head over to the tower and purchase a ticket for the tower tour before you start the guided tour. This will ensure you are able to visit the tower right after the guided tour ends. The blue hall (actually mostly brick red) is really huge and elegant. The gold hall steals the show - it is really unique and beautifully done. The council chamber is also nice. The gardens are small but nice and the courtyard is also pretty. The tower offers sweeping views of Stockholm and its surrounding waters. Note that touring the tower does involve climbing a lot of stairs as well as walking up slopes (there is an elevator but it only goes up halfway). Anyone with a health condition that prevents them from participating in strenuous activity should avoid the tower. Allow about 2 hours for a visit.

    Spontaneous visit with a five-star experience. The city hall doesn't raise any eyebrows from far but close upfront and seeing it from the inside brings it to a whole different dimension. The architecture is impressive and the building has lots of symbolism. I certainly recommend coming here while visiting Stockholm. There are hourly guided tours in Swedish and English and you can get married here if you want. 😉

    Very beautiful landmark in Stockholm. The golden hall is a must see place once you are inside. They only offer guided tours since they are a government building. Ticket costs 130 SEK. You can not go alone. You must follow the guided tour and it was boring for me.

    I went there when I had some time in the morning. It is a quiet place to take a stroll. I did not go inside the building as I did not have much time, but the experience of just admiring the building was amzing. The bell tower also stands out as an amazing work of architecture. A peaceful place. Definitely recommended for a visit.

    Took a guided tour. Unfortunately the acoustics were lousy and you could barely hear the guide. But the rooms we saw were gorgeous.

    Tolle Kulisse mit sagenhaftem Blick auf Gamla Stan vor allem zur sog. blauen Stunde (in den Wintermonaten von 14.30 - 15.30 Uhr)

    (Translated by Google) Thought it was a town in a house, a bit like the books Narnia, think the name was somewhat misleading. (Original) Trodde det var en stad i ett hus, lite som böckerna Narnia, tycker namnet var något missvisande.

    Stockholm's City Hall, or Stockholms Stadshuset, is a historical building replete with detail, beauty, and the highest profile events in the world. The Nobel Prizes are awarded in its halls every year. The ceremonies of graduation of PhD and Master's students are held there. The ascension to full professorship and becoming a Swedish citizen are among the many more ceremonies that are celebrated at City Hall. The exterior of the building is an elegant brick facade with golden ornaments. The views of Stockholm from the City Hall are a photographer's delight. The interior of the building is decorated with gold-leaf mosaics that depict the mythology of Stockholm. For visitors to Stockholm, the City Hall is a must.

  • 4/5 Hugo K. 8 months ago on Google • 219 reviews
    Mainly interesting to claim you’ve been to the place where the Novel price dinners are held, which has a nice background explanation. Beyond that, it is a collection of very disjointed rooms, in very random design styles. They give you a pitch about how that was intentional, but it still looks just weird. The staff giving the English tour are very nice and knowledgeable

  • 5/5 Nina A. 9 months ago on Google • 215 reviews
    Amazing architecture. Paid guided tours. Can learn a lot about Swedish history. Also inside are amazing art pieces of wall painting. The Blue Hall where the Nobel prize dinner is held. But also the graduation 🎓 ceremonies of Stockholm university and Royal Institute of Technology. You can get inspired here. Also can get merried in 10 min ceremony. You should spent 2 h to visit.

    A landmark in the water An impressive building standing in the middle of stockholm. Did not go inside but nice for taking photos and strolling around while in the city. We could see it from our hotel room window impressive and majestic

    Great views of the water here. Peaceful too. Outside of the building is nice, but I’m not much impressed with the artwork on the inside. The building is less than 100 years old so don’t expect Renaissance caliber paintings on the inside. But taking the tour is still worth it to learn about its history. The story of the “Blue Room” is quite funny, where the Nobel prize banquet is held.

    Stockholm City Hall was built between 1911 and 1923 in National Romantic style by swedish architect Ragnar Östberg. It is possible to visit the building with a guided tour that costs 130 SEK and lasts about 45 minutes. The two highlights of the building are the Blue Hall, in which the Nobel Prize banquet takes place every year on the 10th of December, and the wonderful Golden Hall, covered in majestic mosaics.

    City hall is one of the most notable building for its architecture in Stockholm.There is a river Infront of the city hall.The view is very beautiful.So many photographers used to visit here and spend time often.You can enter the courtyard for free and you can spend as much time you want.For guided tours separate charges have to be paid.They will conduct a tour inside the building for 45 minutes.Students and researchers were also used to visit here often.

    Town hall of Stockholm, you can only visit via a guided tour. Impressive interior with various architectural and design influences. This is where the Nobel price banquet takes place. You cannot go on top of the tower during Covid. Friendly, welcoming staff and knowledgable tour guide.

    The location of the every year's Nobel committee prices banquet. You could also make a guided tour to see the golden hall, however it's also nice to check out the surrounding. Very impressive!

    It's a main attraction of the city of Stockholm. There's a muesium inside city hall, historical place, includes registration office , entrusted with beautiful rectangular architecture and sculptures, sarounded by garden and 2 side sea, big bell on top of the tower can be seen from Gamalastan( old city) and kungsholmen and south sidr of city . Must visit place.

  • 5/5 Sabrina Z. 1 year ago on Google • 80 reviews
    Von außen doch recht unauffällig, aber innen kommt man aus dem Staunen nicht mehr raus. Nicht nur die unglaubliche Innenausstattung auch die kleinen Geschichten dazu. Und wenn man mal in diesem goldenen Raum steht ist man einfach nur überwältigt. Genau wie das Vasa Museum, sollte man sich auch unbedingt dieses Stadthaus ansehen.

  • 5/5 PingTing E. 1 year ago on Google • 58 reviews
    The Stockholm City Hall is really worth a visit with the guided tour. The building designs a really beautiful and exceptionally beautiful with the fall foliage on the exterior of the buildings. Our English tour guide, Chris, was very informative and gave a really detailed and interesting tour of the building and the various function rooms in the building. We really enjoyed our visit.

  • 5/5 Andrej P. 9 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Astounding view from the lakeside, the hall itself is also a work of art. The view from the Tower is probably one of the best (if not the best) in the whole Stockholm.

  • 3/5 Suna D. 3 years ago on Google
    It is a guided tour. You get to learn about where people receive Nobel prize, how the ceremony takes place or the building's history. It is a nice place to visit if you have time, however I wouldn't recommend it as a "must see" location, especially if you have only few days to spend in Stockholm.

  • 5/5 Carlos B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely Amazing! Well worth the visit. You can only visit as part of a guided tour (every 30 minutes) but that only enhances the experience as you won’t be trampled on by other visitors so you have plenty of time and space for that special photo.

    This place was magical. I love the northern culture and so for, I was stunned by it. Breathtaking piece of architecture with a free access for students, extremely nice and profesional guides and a piece of Stockholm in it.

    The visit was for a wedding and as this a short visit. Mainly waiting and standing around. Pretty nice facilities and staff. Would like to see more of the insider bit for some reason it is off limits to the general public. Open up so se see what se spend millions yearly to keep in good shape with our taxes.

    Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful views of Gamla Stan and just so relaxing to sit on a warm sunny day. I have never toured the inside but walking the grounds is worth it.

  • 5/5 Coralis B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a tour in English of the city hall and learned a lot and enjoyed it more than we anticipated. There was a lot we didn’t know about the use of city hall and the art on the walls and the way the building was built contains lots of history and interesting influences. We were also freely allowed to ask questions which was nice. Friendly staff! Tickets are first come first serve each so might be a good idea to come early and book a tour later in the day so you don’t come and they’re all fully booked.

  • 5/5 Michael Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Superb views of the water and Södermalm and on certain days you can go up to the tower to see a bird's eye view of Stockholm

  • 5/5 Summer 2 years ago on Google
    Guided tour and entrance ticket cost 130 sek, the guide’s explanation was very clear and concise, I had much more understanding of the building’s history and the mind of the architect.

  • 5/5 Bryce H. 2 years ago on Google
    I personally think its one of the better tours worth paying extra for in Stockholm. Wonderful architecture, great information about the nobel prize where the afterparty is held, and just the overall history of Stockholm. The guides are great and very knowledgeable.

    This was a really interesting experience - I definitely recommend having a guided tour! It's where the Nobel banquet is held and you get to hear quite a lot of interesting things about these as well as see some amazing architecture. At the restaurant, you can even choose to have a Nobel banquet from any year you like - as long as you book! The stairs are carefully designed so that you can keep your head up when processing in and not have to look at your feet, at least that's what the tour guide said! Great experience

  • 5/5 SAM290596 1 year ago on Google
