Facts and practical information

The Stockholm City Hall is an architectural marvel and a testament to Sweden's rich cultural heritage. Nestled on the picturesque shores of Kungsholmen island, this majestic building stands as a symbol of the city's political prowess and is a celebrated venue for prestigious events, including the annual Nobel Prize banquet.

Constructed between 1911 and 1923, Stockholm City Hall was designed by architect Ragnar Östberg, who infused the structure with elements of National Romanticism and a touch of Venetian grandeur. The building's silhouette is marked by its prominent tower, topped with the golden figures of the Three Crowns, an emblem of Sweden.

The City Hall's interior is equally impressive, housing magnificent halls and an exquisite council chamber. The Blue Hall, despite its name, is strikingly devoid of blue decor, and is renowned for its organ with 10,000 pipes. It is here that the Nobel banquet unfolds each December. Above it, the Golden Hall is adorned with more than 18 million glass and gold mosaic pieces, creating a dazzling display of Swedish history and mythology.

Apart from its role in hosting Nobel laureates and city council meetings, the Stockholm City Hall is open to the public through guided tours. Visitors can explore the grand ceremonial halls and the lush courtyards, and those who climb the 365 steps to the top of the tower are rewarded with breathtaking views of Stockholm.
