Guided tours

Svenska

Discover the City Hall with a guided tour. A guided tour is the only way to visit the City Hall.

During the tour, you will get to see all of the City Hall’s grand banquet halls, while learning more about its history, politics, architecture, and the Nobel banquet. The guide will tell you about this iconic building from 1923 and its different uses over the years.

Inside the City Hall

Several important events from Swedish history are depicted on one of the walls in the Golden Hall, from the 800s to World War I.
8 million bricks were used to build the City Hall. The bricks were made in a factory south of Stockholm.
The pattern for the tapestries was designed by Maja Sjöström. She was in charge of all textiles designed for the City Hall during its construction. The statue “Crocus” was made by Tore Strindberg.
Sweden’s coat of arms by Einar Forseth, the artist who created the Golden Hall.

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.
