The City Hall is not only a cultural heritage and a tourist attraction, but also a place where many politicians and civil servants have their offices, where the Stockholm City Council have their meetings, and a venue for both events and wedding ceremonies. As a result, we may have to cancel some of our guided tours or close certain rooms, sometimes at short notice.

Remarkable details and decorations

The seven stages of life can be seen above the doors in the Golden Hall; birth, childhood, youth, adulthood, old age, and, eventually, the soul’s ascension to Heaven.
The chandeliers in the Gallery of the Prince are made out of silver plated bronze and Baccarat crystal, and were designed by a Swedish sculptor and artisan called Sydney Gibson.
The bricks in the Blue Hall have been treated by hand to give them a rougher and more interesting surface but the craftsmen were careful not to go too deep or to destroy the different shades of red that can be seen in the bricks.
To create a sort of contrast to the Blue Hall, the foyer in the City Hall is sparsely decorated. Sweden’s national emblem, the three crowns, can be seen inlaid in white Carrara marble on the floor.
